Very low miles and not a whole lot of options on it ... might have been a race car early in it's life. Here's the tag for @cuda hunter  ...  :cheers:

Does the font on the fender tag look odd to anyone besides me?

Thanks Tom!! 

Headejm, it looks like heavy paint to me.  Could be wrong though.

JS23R0B181040 tag looks correct and is an original fender tag. Here is another original 70 Challenger R/T Hemi fender tag with an SPD of November (5 days later on B11) for comparison. The car is up for auction at Mecum in Monterey in August 2023.  https://www.mecum.com/lots/1096754/1970-dodge-hemi-challenger-r-t/

Not seeing a difference in the numeral 1's. Can you elaborate?

the FC7 tag has 1's where the top point straight out, 90 degrees...  the blue angle down on top...  at least to me,,, i noticed it on the regular pic without zooming...  ?   :notsure:

Interesting on the '1's . 
Wonder if they changed fonts at some point.
Here is mine on 71 Challenger RT - has 'angled' '1's .

It's hard to believe but that car is kind of ugly. I don't know if it's the lack of rallye wheels, way too high arched rear springs or lack of stripes. This car should look awesome but it doesn't cut it for me. Wrong wheels and tires too. I guess it's just a combo of everything.

So do you guys think that every single tag for the Hamtramck Plant used the same machine ? The number dies were never changed ? The "ones" never varied ? That's a long stretch ....Keep in mind this was not rocket science at the time, they likely cared less about "fonts" then we do now.

earlier in the post, the two tags posted are supposedly 5 days apart,,, that's what made me wonder.
