close but not quite

ADAM-12 "744 AEH"
VS.
MOD SQUAD "112 AEG"

who's the CA plate use numbers guru?

ADAM-12 car has A/C - any interior shots from MOD SQUAD?

I am

Those are 70 California plates. The plates are sequential starting with the letter A.

Those are the real deal

Some very early 70 cars were issued the older black plates starting with Z and the number order is reversed. Black would be ZZZ 999 and the Blues start 001 AAA

After we blew through that sequence we reversed the sequence again 000 ZZZ --> 1 AAA 001

So 70 California cars will start with Z, A or B

Never got in to watching Mod Squad back then, but saw a re-run about a year ago, and never realized the show was so mopar heavy! One episode had some bad guy messing with Peggy Lipton? She was driving I think a 70 GTX, think the darn thing had power windows too. The challenger showed up in same episode. Good stuff.

& if plates were distributed sequentially - these two would be 368 1,632 vehicles apart from the same DMV office

Like I said earlier the Mod Squad car had a three speaker dash and I don't believe it was an A/C car.

I have fender tag info from one of these two cars (unless there were more):

V6X Y05 26 EN1
+ N85 N95 P31 P37 R22 +
G32 G34 H51 M31 N41 N42
V3X A62 A63 B51 C16 C55
FE5 H6E4 000 915 Q03954
E63 D32 JS27 N0B 12xxxx

Dan, that is to cool! Could be the same car in both shows. I might be incorrect about the Mod Squad car not having A/C. I think the A63 on both cars is a pretty good hint that the cars could be the same.

the problem is I have it hand written from I don't know where

..... but the "ODD" thing is both cars appear to have the A63 - "moulding package" which included M31 - "belt mouldings" & they're missing on both cars aren't they?

a possible explanation: there are a number of late-September/early-October '69 built 'cudas that were built w/o their STANDARD M31 - "belt mouldings". I've known of the missed mouldings on the 'cudas for decades, this is the first evidence I've seen (& realized) that it was a Challenger issue also!

learn something new everyday!

different plates, if they are using actual registered cars & plates, they wouldn't have swapped them

I bet the MOD SQUAD car is no A/C & NO ROAD wheels

check out the clear windshield on the air conditioned ADAM-12 car - Oh HOLLYWOOD!

Plates are issued to offices sequentially in lots.

You are correct that these plates are 1632 apart - in CA that is darn close. We go through a lot cars .... and plates

What number was the street racing episode ?? I have never seen it.

Took me a while to find on my phone, but this was from a episode on a car theft ring I think, I was just flicking the channels when it popped up...obviously a "custom" job done for the show...

That is a 72 Challenger convertible...

I have noticed the red 70 Mod Squad Challenger was well optioned with power windows,rim blow wheel,rally dash and that rear trim panel like S/E. Yet it did not have wood grain on door panels and was a column shift bench seat car.

I think the episode with some good Challenger shots is Willie Poor Boy, season 2, #34. I had no luck pulling it up.

She just showed up on the Twin peaks reboot on Showtime. She was also on the series in the nineties.

I have the box set of the Mod Squad. They used the 1970 Challenger R/T convertible for many episodes, like 20-25. I made a note of all the options, it is misplaced for now. They have some very close up shots of it, like the radio face on the whole screen, AM-8 track. It does have A/C, power windows, rim blow, column shift. I see it does have the M31 trim on it.

There is one episode with another 70 Challenger R/T convertible. It is lime green with white top stripe interior, 15X7 rallies, polyglas tires with tire size. Has rocker mouldings, body side mouldings, front bumper guards, dual painted mirrors, painted gas cap, argent grill with R/T emblems on both fenders and the grille, no exh tips, and no moulding across the rear edge of the hood. They show it pretty good from the outside under street lights several times, can't tell interior details other than a rim blow wheel.

The 70 GTX is very cool, it was in one episode only. It's options are: bench seat, column shift, power windows, woodgrain steering wheel, FE5 red paint, black vinyl top, black reflector stripe, hood turn signals, remote drivers mirror, turndown exhaust, road wheels, polyglas tires with tires size. It has single speaker dash, but they never show a close up of the dash face to see the type of radio.

In the episode they run over some rocks and blow a tire and show up close the tire changing. They show the car with polyglas tires in every scene except the tire changing close ups it has blackwall tires, drivers side only. Looking close they blacked out the white letters, where the bottom of the tire is wadded up you can see the white letters are there and not blacked out.

They moved up to a 1971 Challenger convertible, gold with black side stripes, flat hood, light tan interior. Then it changed and it looked like the same car with 1972 grille and taillights. Then moved into a 72 or 73 Charger with a custom stripe up the one side of the hood.
