What Rhinodart is referring to is the 53 at the beginning, which immediately designates the County. As a LEO it was a great tool, especially if a car left a scene. If a witness could get the county designation, and it was from a neighboring county, we could anticipate possible escape routes and intercept them.
Now with so much revenue for all the specialty tags, there is no longer a unique designation on the numbers.

Some work around the windshield frame today. There are bad spots, but a lot of guys are putting together a lot worse.

Tim Yes going beck to FK5 and vinyl top. I sold it to a friend at one point. In the mid 80's before the rage caught on, he repainted it white to match the Vanishing Point ride. Got a lot of attention when it was first painted. Now its going back to original, other than I am really tempted to make the interior burnt orange, rather than black. I am also really struggling with putting a shaker system on it.

The crew is working around the back window. was looking kind of scary with the rear trim in place. It will likely need a new dutchman panel.

Santa came a week or so late, but with the new sheet metal, it's full steam ahead.
A little bit more sanding to begin repair on the rear window...

Got a lot of attention when it was first painted. Now its going back to original, other than I am really tempted to make the interior burnt orange, rather than black. I am also really struggling with putting a shaker system on it. White top or black? K5 with a white top is pretty sharp but black will do. Can't go wrong with a shaker. My sister-in-law had a '70 Challenger SE, 383-4v, auto, ac, ps/b, K5 with white top and burnt orange interior (early 80s). I wanted it bad but she wouldn't sell it. Several years later my wife and I drove up to her parents house in time to see a guy driving off in it. She had bought a Prelude and sold (practically gave it away) the Challenger to help pay for it. "I forgot that you wanted to buy it."

It is originally a black top with black stripe. I have been thinking about going white.
Plenty of pics coming. The entire front end had to be replaced. They are going to be getting it on a rotisserie pretty soon. Then the quarters will be replaced.
