Anyone that knows if the vin are the same on a Dart built in US and in the factories in Europe?.

This 64 Gt has a vin number from US,but it has an rare option..that are rarely seen on american cars..and it was imported to Norway in 64.

I believe Darts were only built in Spain from 1965-1970 and had a shorter VIN.


The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

If you look at the site it shows only right hand drive Darts, and the OP has a left hand drive Dart. Not quite sure what they built it Spain as I don't have a clue which side ov the road they drive in there?!?

Yep,they built Darts in Rotterdam and Switzerland.But i havent found any info about their vin numbers.The Challengers vins produced in Switzerland may have been inspected,as those have been "more interesting".

VINs for car really built in europe are different but it does depend on the modelyear.
I am not into 63/64 but later on the VINs on the dash start with an "8" which has a flat top. That indicates empty body. Meaning they did not know what kind of model (ie Dart GT or GTS) it will be and which engine it will get.

This doesn't have a lot to do with this but have a 62 Dart right hand drive firewall from Australia and it has a normal VIN number on it.

I had seen one European built Dart here in the states about 25 years ago but can't recall anything about it.

There were Darts in Argentina too but may have been badged as Valiants - can't remember. Prob Dart front/Valiant rear with Valiant name till '68 when they renamed it the Polara, although I think the cheapest version was the Valiant for a year when they phased it out.

looks "normal" USA built
7 = Dart /6
4 = GT
4 = 1964
2 = Hamtramck, MI USA assembly plant
646969 = 146,969th a-body assigned VIN (for Hamtramck)

The sunroof was added after the fact.
