Thanks. It's not 3 under U . Next to the code BB! it is stamped U3. I asume the interrior would have been Blue dash, rugs and headliner with white seats and door panels?

Not to hijack the post but since we are on the subject of 68 fender tags, can anyone tell me what E/8 would be on the tag of my 68 Barracuda. When I try decoding, it comes back as unknown option.
