68 RR VON? - 03/03/14 05:51 PM
My brother is looking at a 68 Runner on Ebay. The VON # reads A8R (A) and 5 numbers. What does the A mean. I am new to Mopars. I have read it could mean it was a rental or demo ect. Or was it stamped wrong? Thanks larry J

A8R Axxxxx
A = Lynch Rd. Detroit, MI assembly plant
8 = 1968
R = Plymouth B-body
Axxxxx = Shipping Order # (CANADA spec.)

The A just means built in Canada ? Thanks Larry J

Actually it means built for the Canadian Market.That # is also assigned to the dealership order form...which means you can tell which dealership it was sold from(ifyou have a big enough database).Canadian shipment figures are usually 10% or so of the total North American sales.

OK thanks. In 68 could it have a letter say if it were a demo or rental car. I know I read that if the 6 digit # started with a letter it meant it was demo or rental or show car? Thanks for the info. Most of the Mopar numbers are still foreign to me. Only way to learn is ask. :big grin: LJ

It is on Ebay. Might it have a different letter like A8R (C)xxxxx or (M)xxxxx which would mean something else? indicating a demo or rental car? Thanks Larry J
