I thought I would share the factory marks I found on my 70 383 Challenger R/T when I restored it. I thought it would be interesting to compare marks from different cars. My car was built in Hamtramack for Calif. delivery on Nov 20th 1969.

Good stuff!  Your car looks to be in great shape.  Don't see many in that good of condition.  :veryexcited:

Thanks Cody-I was very lucky to score a rust free Calif Car. All original body panels including the trunk. The only part I had to replace was the passenger side rear floor pan which I did with a rust free original. Paid a little more for the car but saved a ton on body work.

I love threads like this!!!  Super cool markings.  :popcorn:  :ohyeah:

I may have to climb around my car and see if any markings are still there. I have one doc that was folded and shoved in the glove box from going down the line and there is a mark under the original dash

Hard to see unless you blow up the picture but my 1970 V code had 26 on the firewall.

A member here by the name of Orval sent me these last year.
He said they were under his carpet.

1971 R/T Challenger with cloth insert seats which include carpet on the bottom of the door panels similar to 1970 Challenger SE carpeted door panels

Car has June SPD.

I removed the door panels and carpet inserts and found markings on the inside of the drivers door in the same location as many others.

Also found manufacturer's stampings on the back of the carpet inserts including possible initials of person who assembled the carpet inserts. :notsure:
