Hey all,
Have any of you seen a 1967 fender with the added little tag and knows what it signifies?
The extra tag looks like it has a C and an M or H punched through it. Almost all of the fender tag option codes are "1".
The car is a 1967 Plymouth Satellite hardtop with an H-code 4bbl 383, console shift automatic, AC, no dash clock, no passenger side mirror, no courtesy light package.
The owner knows a little about Mopars, but nowhere near an expert. He bought it a month ago, from a known "Mopar Guy" in the northeast. It's a decent condition Gold exterior/Black interior car. Exterior was repainted, it has no GTX stripes or the upper body pinstripe. The car has a few GTX pieces on it (hood scoops, lower side molding, flip-top gas cap, dual exhaust & tips) as if it was being cloned into a GTX, except all the Satellite emblems are still there, trunk, front fenders, glove box and rear seat, and the VIN is RP23 for a Satellite.
Could you option a Satellite with any GTX trim like the hood scoops?
The new owner has no idea about the differences between Satellite and GTX trim, and assumes it is all original to the car. The new owner didn't get duped, the price he bought it for was really really fair for what it is. It has a Broadcast sheet that is in a hundred little crispy pieces.
I'm really curious about the extra fender tag strip.

The 440 power GTX and Dodge R/T were a mid year option in 1967 The 1967 GTX & Coronet R/Ts were available with the 440 from the start of the model year.

On the '67 St. Louis Plymouth B-bodies I've seen, the inspection stamps were in the fender tag itself, not on a separate strip. Would be interesting to know what plant this car came from.

Inspector tag. Shows someone looked at the car and gave it the thumbs up! On the '67 St. Louis Plymouth B-bodies I've seen, the inspection stamps were in the fender tag itself, not on a separate strip. Would be interesting to know what plant this car came from. Thanks guys! Right! I remember seeing symbols punched right into some fendertags. My own Satellite has a 'arrow' style symbol punched into the fender tag, it's a St.Louis built car. That adds some good info on this "mystery". I'll ask my buddy what his plant code is, for some reason I didn't get a picture of his VIN tag. - Art

Looks like the tag was originally bent over toward the front of car. Perhaps the one punch is an "R"? Could the "C" be part of an incorrectly punched "P"? Zoom into the image and one may see what I'm Referring.

VIN is RP23H75xxxxxx - This seems to be a Los Angeles, CA built Satellite.. so yeah, maybe the inspection tag got left behind or that's maybe how they released them from the assembly line.. Broadcast sheet can still be puzzled together.. or can at least read some of the option codes.. That will a project for another time.

Not the inspectors name but his inspection station ID. An inspector on each shift inspecting that part or assembly would use the same stamp. This right here. When I built aircraft, the inspectors were identified individually, but autos don't need that level of tracking.
