I was looking at the VIN# on my 70 cuda and the first two #s are RS--

When I looked this up the R stands for Belvedere/satelite --Is this

right?

Are you sure? You may wanna take a closer look.. The "R" and "B" may be very similiar. Do you have the fender tag for the car? If so, does the Seq# (last 6 digits) match the 6 digits on the bottom row, right side of the tag?

the last 6 digits of your vin is stamped (1)on the top of the cowl, near the drivers side wiper post and (2)in the radiator mount yoke. If the numbers match, you most likely got a misprint in the vin tag

I could not read the fender tag so I pulled it off to look at the back side and the last 6#s of the VIN match the numbers on the lower right of the fender tag

I found the title and the VIN# starts with a RS and has 1970 Plymouth Satalite I called the Sec Of State and they said If I bring down the car and all the #s match they can change it to say Cuda

When I get home I will have to check the cowl and see if I can find the #s

I Have had the car for 18 yrs and been in storage for the last 14--when I bought the car I didnt think about ckecking any #s--all I remember was that I was getting a 70 CUDA

That may be a drag getting that straightened out. I sold a car out of state last year that had a title typo,(6th digit year code showed a "Z" instead of the correct "2") so I had to go to sec of state a couple of times, and they had tracked it down to a mistake by the currency exchange I transferred at 3 years prior. So it was kindof my fault for not catching it.

It's not a Satellite, it's a GTX.
That means at only possible engine codes are U, V and R
Also assembly plant code is different than E-body, as earlier mentioned.
So it's quite easy to see is it misprint or GTX title, at least after you find the cowl numbers
