Hi Ronnie,

you mean fender tag help I guess.
I am not sure what you would like to know exactly.
engine code is E63=383 HP not E83
H2X9 is wrong for 1969. It is probabaly a black bench interieur with
x9 (black upper door frame colour)
Cars has an SPD (planned production date) of may 17th
J25=three speed wiper
M21=drip rail molding
N96 airgrabber hood
R11=Radio am music master
V7X=accent stripe black (longitudinal), painted on the side of the car

I was under the impression v7x was hood paint treatment on 69. the stripe would be v5x only for the side.

The Hood treatment is V21 , The side stripe is V7* , V5* is the code for 1970 side moulding with a colored rubber insert.

V7* is the painted stripe, V6* is the decal stripe

R4 in Dodge speak is "bright red" (introduced in spring '68 on Charger ONLY - paint code 3).

R4 in Plymouth speak is "performance red" & I've seen MOPAR reference to the "Barracuda red/orange" but not sure where.

Could it be the PPG chart posted above you?

I intended to write "something with MOPAR origins"

who's PPG & what the heck is "poly" - now everyone thinks those are the color's REAL names.

wow- so it was called barracuda orange-different to fe5 red?
i got the same ppg color charts and it does say barracuda orange but i thought it was just ppg calling it that. i`m sure ppg was the original paint supplier for chrysler-yes?

You have 2 different colors , the paint chart above is for 1969 and any paint color that originated for the 69 model year would begin with an E , FE5 red was a 1970 model year color and would be a different from a 69 color or else they would have just kept the original paint code .

No, PPG paint was formerly Ditzler.
DuPont was & is a different company that also manufactures paint.

Isn't "Poly" another name for "metallic?"
