Would be a cool car all restored, but $30k is way high imo.   

On a LA car does END mean Third Shift?  I thought they didn't have 2 lines so unlike Hamtramck they did not use EN1 or EN2, they just used END.

Hey, I did it off memory & as I get older my memory has more flaws then facts.... 

Yeah Cuda's sell for more than Challengers but 30K is a serious reach IMO...

It has been to my understanding that END was end of codes. I also believe that LA only had one assy. line. My tag being very sparse in codes does have END. Take a look.       Thanks,   Al

[ec_co]

mine also has END on it

[70/6chall]

Cole and I are in agreement. What do you guys think?      Thanks,   Al

[RUNCHARGER]

$30k is too high for what's missing.

[Cuda Cody]

Yes, I think you guys are right about the END meaning end of the line.  1 Wild RT was decoding by memory which is super impressive!  But I think he just typed the wrong thing about what end means.       He still has a pretty near perfect record for helping people and being right.   

Cole and I are in agreement. What do you guys think?      Thanks,   Al

Hey, back in the late 80's & early 90's we had lots of decoding info that turned out to be not entirely correct... Some of that still bounces around in my head.... I'll try to do better in the future... Besides, you get what you pay for...

Ha, ha. I barely get by the 5th digit in the VIN before I lose interest. I always have to look everything up.

Ya, my brain is weird, I've always absorbed technical stuff but I can't remember peoples names without putting in extra effort... Never could.... It's terrible & I've tried for years to change but it's just how I'm wired..... Friends have a nickname for me that might indicate I'm a Bot.... But I'm not...

[RUNCHARGER]

I do that too. I generally can remember old Mopar part #'s but never names of people. Some of it comes from remembering rail car #'s and Engine #'s from my 30 years of Rail Roading.

You know what guys, I don't think you should beat yourselves up, because you can't remember all codes or numbers on our cars. I just don't think we're wired that way. Hey, throw in all of the rest of non hobby stuff and we are lucky our brains don't explode from overload. We have to hit the books sometime, I think we do great for being human. Even at my age which I just turned 70, 6 mos. ago, heck I'd be damned lucky to remember my own street address. You guys are still young give yourselves credit.     Thanks,   Al

[RUNCHARGER]

I'm 60 so I find as you get older you just have to remember what you want.

[70/6chall]

Amen, Sheldon, I've found that I've come to a point in my life where I've had my collection of Mopars, not a big collection but none the less enough to know that I found a manufacturer of a certain brand of car that I decided to enjoy. My SL6 '70 Challenger is really all I need to feel like part of this community of enthusiasts, it's like an old friend we've been together through everything and it has never let me down. It's funny I'm 70 and the Dodge is a 70 also, providence I don't know, maybe. I really don't think that I could keep up with a big collection of cars like a lot you guys. I'm satisfied. Thanks,   Al
