Title: Codes for my A66's fender tags
Post by: benlavigne on October 12, 2018, 04:43:08 PM
We've concluded from a previous post that the repro tags on my new Challenger were missing a few codes, my guess is that they overlooked the codes on Line 11 that were put there because all of the spaces for ''A'' codes were taken on line 6!
I've since then acquired a second broadcast sheet from a previous owner that matches the first.

So A62 Rallye Dash and
A66 340 Package are obviously missing, but should G11 Tinted Glass also be there? I've seen it on a few tags before, but I don't recall seeing it on an E-body....
What about Y13 Dealer Demo?

Thanks for input!

Ben

PS I'm having a hard time uploading the BS picture, so I've posted the dealer invoice with all of the options...

You've nailed down a lot of the history and past owners, doesn't anybody know what happened to the original tags ?

Alan, I tried, it seems everybody kept a little bit of it when they sold it!
Original owner's manual with dealer stamp and warranty /maintenance booklet and ball shifter were with the car three owners before, now they've disappeared... Luckily, I managed to secure the second Broadcast sheet... along with some restoration pics.
The LH inner fender was replaced with a 72-74 piece when it was customized after a little fender-bender and the tags were probably left on the old piece...
What's your opinion on G11 on a late 1970 car?

I just checked the five recent 70 Challengers I've restored...All have G11 on the BCS and none of them have it on the fender tags. Dates range Nov. 69 to Feb 70

Louver package, actually, it includes dual painted mirrors.
Vinyl top is NOT mandatory as on the Barracuda, however if vinyl roof is ordered, it can only be Black.
The louvers themselves are repeated, code J68, like the rear wing, J81, even if it is part of A45 F&R Spoiler package...

Thanks Alan, I've seen G11 on A, B and C-body tags, but not on E bodies yet...

Same as louvers, rear wing, I think it has to do with these accessories needing extra holes on the body...

Here is the original tag from a friend's A66, Dec. 12 car. It's a factory sunroof car also BTW.
It also shows A44 Backlight louver pkg, but no separate J68 for the louvers, and both G32 and G34 for mirrors, instead of G36 for Dual mirrors...

that's the earliest "louver" Challenger I've heard of, by almost a month  8)
:thinking: (does he have a broadcast sheet and/or original door sticker?)

Not sure about a BS, but it probably still sports it's original door tag. He's owned the car since about 1972...

... And the owner is starting to talk about selling, after all those years...
Sidenote on this car's owner, when he was shopping for a used car around 72-73, there was a certain brown convertible 1970 Coronet R/T with a Hemi that was around Montreal then... He passed on it then, because Winter was coming, and the hardtop Challenger would be a better car for driving around... Yes that 1-of-2 Coronet R/T that is now on Graveyard Cars! We keep teasing him about that one to this day!
