I have an engine which has long kept me wondering, maybe someone has the car somewhere. Most likely was in the Northwest. First two digits are missing from the stamping on the pan rail.

-- 29L9B249388 or -- 29L9R249388

XX29? XS29? Does the 29 "2 Door Sports Hardtop" apply to anything other than a Charger?

From my little research seems like this is most likely from a 69 Charger, can anyone confirm or expand on this based on the portion of the VIN I have?

Thanks!


11.48 @ 120 with a 1.80 60' 318, stock 1.88 heads, stock 904, Pump Gas, 13 lbs of boost.

9.94 @ 134, 318 on pump gas, 14 lbs w/ Eddies, transbrake 727, 3600 lbs, 3.54 gear and 28's.

The only two plants for '69 Chargers were B - Hamtramk & G - St. Louis, so no R, but a poorly stamped B is very possible.

The other possible '29' VIN from Hamtramck would be a BH29, but in that case with a 440 the engine code would be an M.
