1971 340 vrs Hemi 426 price difference

Hopefully this will help

Let's go back in time for a moment and see the difference in prices

I'm surprised the darts almost as much with a 340

The Haggerty car needs a better knock-off door sticker. The 6th VIN character appears to be off. Should be a " 1"

I could be wrong .

Yes, that was the point of my post. Amazingly beautiful car with multiple OE awards and a stack of documentation, but the VIN sticker has the wrong year twice (in the VIN itself as well as the production date). Very odd.

Excellent, thx.

Probably a crappy reproduction from years ago

From  the questions section of the auction:
Q: Just noticed the door tag has 5/70. The car was built 5/71. Is this a factory tag that was incorrectly installed. I have a car with the trans # one number out...the other car must have my transmission...but this is a whole year.....Hmmmmmm

A: The door vin decal is the factory applied original, the typo error was recognized and it was carefully masked around and was not removed during the restoration. Factory mistakes like this were not uncommon at all. It would have been easy to order a new decal from ECS and correct the factory mistake but the owner felt that leaving it original was the only way to go and adds a unique (and undeniably original) detail to the cars history.

Interesting that the QA of the day would NOT pick-up wrong the wrong VIN on the car...you'd think they would pay close attention to that type of stuff, or the dealership for that fact.

The fact that this error is a factory typo (which I know wasn't in the least unheard of back in the day), just increases the cool-factor of this car. I'm glad they saved that original door VIN decal.

The SPD on my R/T is 5 days ahead of the subject hemicuda.
While the vin on my door decal was correct, my cowl stamping is 1 VIN number higher than the rest of my car.
