Actually #6 of the cars that are in the registry, not all cars are registered  ...nice car though..

Is it just me, or does the left rear quarter panel look funky? Rivets on that dash cover repaired dash pad look pretty bad too!
The engine should be corporate blue not orange.

@JH27N0B Curious why this 1970 N code 383 should be corporate blue?

A dash with incorrect rivets and a dash cap covering the dash? Run, don't walk away....

It's a JH car not a JS car, even though it was rated only 5 HP less than the R/T, the engine wasn't considered a high performance engine therefore it's blue instead of orange. Same goes for Satellites and Coronet 500s with 383 4 barrel engines.
Interestingly, apparently JH and BH cars with 383 4 barrel engines and manual transmissions did get orange painted engines.

I like the car just fine    at least it still has its flat hood, standard gauge cluster & column shift (although its looks would benefit from the missing wheel lip mouldings  )
  but it was originally green (FF4), green (H6F8), green (V1F)

GG's registry also splits up cars by plant & this car from LA was built in MARCH 1970 - hardly qualifies as early or something special based on that #6
    per my database it would be #32 (of 37) using the same criteria as used by GG

I formerly owned a similar "JH23N0E" car, #14 (of 37) by the same "registry" criteria - a November '69 car with a partial b'cast sheet.  except it was factory "plum crazy" w/black interior & vinyl top
   power steering, power disc brakes, power windows, ROAD wheels, RWL tires, LH remote mirror, console, 6-way, A/C, rear defog & an AM/FM

Chrysler built 3 different 383 4bbl engines for the 1970 model year (ALL are coded E63 "N-code"):
***   330hp BLUE engines for automatics with Carter carb for B, C & E-bodies
***    335hp ORANGE engines 383HP for automatics with HOLLEY carb for B & E-bodies
***     335hp ORANGE engines 383HP for manual transmissions with HOLLEY carb for B & E-bodies

the ORANGE automatic engines were RESERVED for the "badged" musclecars & Charger (RM, WM, XH, XP, BS, JS)
