[Syreal_70]

Sorry for the blurry picture. I will get a better one.

It could be....and the interior color may look like light green because of the camera.

What is the date on the door VIN? - OK You beat my post!

Thanks MAx I really appreciate it. Not used to having a rare car like this. Didn't expect all the attention!

With the options, color and stuff dare I say one-of-one? 

If the A/C with a 6-pack is legit, then absolutely!

The power of the 440/6 plus the creature comforts of AC and Cruise?  I'll take 2!

Very interesting thread and I am looking forward to seeing this one restored.

Syreal_70 -

Whatever you do with this car take a lot of good quality photos of everything before you take it apart!  Since this car is odd/rare/one-of-a-kind it'll be important to photo-document as much as possible if you want to maintain maximum value and counter any future "but, but Ma Mopar never built them that way!" naysayers.

Bonus points for posting pics here.   

[Syreal_70]

Thanks for the input everyone. I was excited, now I am very excited. I plan on taking a ton of photos.  The car is rough but what is there looks original so documenting vin number stamps etc is a must. Eric

Been a Corvette guy for years,  I am new to the fender tag world, is there a site that I can break down this trim tag somewhere?

this is interesting  / amazing stuff ,  have you looked for a broadcast sheet ?  , have you  checked the body numbers stamped on the radiator / core support , &  under the left side of the trunk weather strip
looking forward to seeing more pictures &  up dates & stuff as you progress !! 

[Syreal_70]

I dont think the broadcast sheet is left. The interior was removed by a previous owner. All of the SEQ numbers seem to be there and match the VIN. This car sat for 30+ years with little or no work done to it. I hope I can get some info from an owner I know of from 25 years ago. Fingers crossed. Eric

For a Feb car VIN sounds low....

Production at STL for 1970 was lower than previous years.

From what I have on hand, I don't see a big problem with the VIN/SPD correlation.

Has anyone from the 70 Charger registry chimed in yet?

Has anyone from the 70 Charger registry chimed in yet?

I have, but my voice carries no weight....and I'm just waiting for the final verdict on this car   

[Syreal_70]

Thanks to the links for the RPO codes. Now I need to find an AM 8 track.. Just checked eBay jeez they are a bit pricey. What was included in the A01 Light Package? Eric

Several have.

My 70 charger is 206 feb 6th vin 186791 door sticker 2 1970.

They would have had to cut the lower part of the air cleaner back to make the ac fit. Someone had some pull at Chrysler.

[fy469rtse]

fender tag calls out e87 -6 pack and h51- air cond.    that's a big no no from the factory       original owner  must have had a heap of cash or knew someone at mopar

I have one too , will register this car eventually, but  Aircon 70 V code as well, all was installed except compressor to engine, I originally thought it an error

[fy469rtse]

I will dig mine out of storage, dealer modified and altered brackets to compressor, do you have these , will find them, mine I mean,  and take shots, also different cant remember if its the pressure side air condition line used is different to the posted photos, mine is like yours all other a/c parts fitted, no cruise though
the cruise is an interesting one, is this car an auto, have to go back through thread to read fender tag,
only way to check this vin Tag to dash, photo graph rivets from underneath as well, remove windscreen, is windscreen original , original rubber seal also ?,
photo document everything or you will never hear the end of it,
vins have a distinct colour to rear off them, reissued vin tags by Chrysler differ from originals, mine too looks like that ,
very sun damaged but the Chrysler logo is throwing me, I took photo's tonnes of them, so will try and locate them for you, I'm sure no logo to mine , all silver or base material,
have build sheet on mine , you could try and see if your build sheet on record , 70 Registry great for this info,
I didn't have air cleaner or matching intake for mine, so could be that dealer ship realised that the two were incompatible, when I found mine 4 barrel was on it , correct date too ,
carb was a late holley so that didn't help with what was correct,
 

[charger Downunder]

Wow looks like we have two now. I like this thread.

[ws23rt]

I too would like to see any more info on this topic.
I did some rough measuring/fitting and the ac compressor will fit in the space with the air cleaner in tact.  But would need unique mounting brackets and hoses.

It seems however that Chrysler didn't make these adaptations. If a dealer made them it would be interesting to see their method.

[polywideblock]

like I said one very interesting car now maybe two      need lots of pics   don't mater how rough it is what a score    

[fy469rtse]

remember  I read an article about a "root beer" brown superbird in moparformance back in the 80's said the "weird "cars were built during lunch while supervisors were away from line    

That was a paint line mistake...they mistook FJ5 and painted them FK5....I think 3 of them.

I don't know if I like this A/C E87 thing.....Like 69Coronet mentioned - the tag shows a normal VON.....It would surely have been a special VON. Too many things to engineer on the fly to make it happen.....unless the A/C was a mistake in the body line (firewall holes were punched) and they ended up using a U code motor.....but for sure they would have done up new tags - no? F-Tag looks...ok.....I don't know what to make of the whole thing...

no no special code to mine either , will be watching this one for mine

Since 440-6 w A/C was 'not available', it would be interesting to see what engine assembly code would be on the broadcast sheet. 999?

Just throwing it out there....not saying this is the case. There is more to learn here.... but people do remake VIN and fender tags. (Remember, some people do defend remade fender tags as 'harmless personalized modifications to MY car that I want and will never be misrepresented now or in the future.')

[fy469rtse]

It look s like that cruise was always there, maybe the 70 experts can chime in here as I'm still learning on mine and wont be posting anything to this subject again, going back to being a watcher and learner again as far as seventys go,
did these come with a ignition lock out set up for shifter, what am I looking at in engine bay shot off column, bill you can answer this one you will know better than me

[Syreal_70]

Thanks for the new info I am happy to hear 2 exist now. The drive train is gone so I cant tell about any A/C brackets. Your vin is silver/bare too? What is the build date? I must be dreaming finding a car this rare. WOW.  Eric

[Brock Lee]

I had a 70 with dealer added AC. It was just a unit that attached under the dash, not the complete factory AC. It had a slightly different version of the Airtemp decal put on the quarter glass as well (I think it said Amana).

[fy469rtse]

Even with an automatic?

mines a four speed , are you sure of that , always thought that aircon was not with six pack regardless of trans
I couldn't find anything to prove that it was allowed or ordered

[fy469rtse]

 I thought with aircon you got tinted glass automatically ?,
Brackets to compressor are a hack job , very rough but also very old too, they looked like they had always been there
