Hey gang.. Not sure if an all-encompassing question has been posed, but I didn't find exactly what I was looking for.
Car: '68 Hemi Charger R/T 4-speed
Topic: ID stampings
Question: We all agree for the most part, that in '68, the VIN of the car was stamped on the block on the driver's side upper bellhousing mating area with the bellhousing of either the 727 or 4-speed stamped the same. Now, on a 4-speed, was the pad that's actually on the gearbox get stamped with the partial VIN "8B******" as well?
Cheers, Troy

Thanks Scott... To clear things up, the drivetrain was stamped with the partial VIN as opposed to the body panels being stamped with the VON in '68.

Here's a Hemi example. Concerning non stamped examples, FWIW I've never seen an original 68 Hemi car that did not have a stamped pad.
Sorry for robbing the thread. Scott what would be the date on my hemi box date of 0140

Just for kicks, what's your cars SPD and VIN sequence number?
Holy Mackerel Scott!!! The pictures of the tag and VIN you posted are of the car my friend's interested in !!!!! He asked me what I thought about the car since I used to own a '68 Hemi Charger R/T (you remember the LL1 I had I'm sure). I have other pictures of it together
You know any more about the car? PM me....
