This is on my son's 440/4sp 1967 Dart GT convertible. This has fooled a few self-appointed experts into thinking the car is original...That's always fun...

Other than the Trans am & Hemi tags, the ones you listed are typically from cop cars.

Special handling is just that, cop car stuff, reinforced roof, two or three tone mask lines, etc, etc.

Special handling is simply that something out of the ordinary was to be done on the assembly line (or off it).

My '70 440 'Cuda has SPECIAL HANDLING CAR on the bottom of the build sheet and a separate fender tag that has SPECIAL HANDLING on it.
440 4bbl car, purple with white interior, AC and power windows, torque boxes and skid plate.

iagree Could have been an odd ball exterior interior color combo or any number of not normal additions that would have had to been done.

I have not seen any original examples of those scenarios - yet.

I have seen the SPECIAL HANDLING CAR note on 1970 Hamtramck car broadcast sheets with no 'original' factory installed second tag though.

F38


What is the purpose for F38?
Is it to make the body/chassis stronger for handling or is it to support a "bubble gum" light?

I recently saw a tag that only had A/C on it. It was on a 68 Dart GTS convertible 340 automatic with factory air. No other tag was on the inner fender and it was obvious is had never been messed with. shruggy
