This is on my 68 Charger. Notice the "F" to the far left of the tag. Whats up with this?

Never saw one like that before. Interesting. So much for union labor in the 60's

I've seen missing digits, misprints (3 instead of B) etc., but this is the first letter I've seen in the last 6 digits of the VIN.

What does the title say?
Do you have the b'cast sheet?
Can you register your Charger? (see below)

I have to wonder if a line worker did that on purpose after the races started. A few of them exist, so maybe whoever did it was less than exited about the race results.

My VIN number on my title matches the VIN on the car perfectly, but that odd "F" out there to the left is a mystery.

My VIN # is XP29F8B188208

Interesting. My 70 GTX (Lynch rd) has the engine call out code 'U' missing completely from the dash VIN, although it appears on the fender tag and door decal. Back when I bought the car (late 80's) I asked Mr. Govier about it and he said he had seen that twice before on a Superbird and a 71 Charger, both Lynch rd cars...

My 67 Belvedere has a typo in the VIN. It reads RL12D75112992, and should be RL21D75

I have an original 68 hemi cuda but the darn thing managed to escape the factory with a 318 and the 318 letter code in the VIN on the title, fender tag, and broadcast sheet

If any one finds my numbers matching block let me know
