Looked at a restored, matching numbers 1969 charger 500 today with a XS29L9B starting vin and I want to verify thats it's real. I know that the very early 500's were R/T's sent out to Creative to get the 500 treatment.. Question is: What VIN number range I guess you could say were these R/T's? This car is very early production, but I want to make sure... When did the XX29 VIN's start? There are some real weird or unique features on this car - what should I look for?
Thanks for any help!
P.S. I do have a copy of the Build Sheet...

I've seen a mix of XS and XX 500's in the 210xxx range.

I've seen VINs for XX 500s as low as 110xxx.
Be leary of any 500 that was in central FL in the late '80s. In '88, I came across a 500 in a junk yard the had all the 500 parts and VIN numbers removed. The number on the trunk drip rail was a cut out area about 1'x2', the car it went may show signs of it being spliced back in. I wish I could recall the color of the 500 shell, that would be a big help to spotting a possible rebody out there.

The one I am looking at is F5 green with green int. Does not look like it has been rebodied or cut up. So far from what I have found out in the net, it is legit.. Sent a PM to hemi68charger, maybe he can shed some light for me.
Thanks Guys!!!!
