True production dates are guesswork at best.I'd say for the majority of Mopars the true date is +/- 2 weeks of the date stamped on the fender tag; excluding package cars that use a common date ie A12's.This early 69 Fury is a good example.The SO # in the upper right corner is 803...this is the date stamped on the fender tag.The car was actually shipped to the dealer on 8-16.The scheduled date is 7-25.....I'm not positive but I think this is the date that the car was actually scheduled to have been shipped.??
Ideas?
One thing for sure...for the most part VIN's and the date stamped on fender tags run hand in hand.Example: the above poster with the St Louis B Body with the B08 date...Vin # will be in the 9G162xxx to 9G163xxx range.Again excluding package cars...440 Darts,A12's etc this is nearly always true but every once in a while there is a wild car(d).
