Belgium R/T -68

A guy on the Swedish forum has a -72 Charger and asks why his VIN-number starts with a W and not a X, anybody knows?  :shruggy:

Because starting in 1971 there were no more 2 door Coronets and the Coronet and Chargers were sort of merged together with the Coronets being the 4 door car and the Charger being the 2 door.  All 3rd gen Chargers have a VIN that begins with a W.

So from Chrysler's point of view, the Charger was really just a two door Coronet?  :stirthepot:

But then the Coronet would need an "X" in there. :icon_smile_wink:

Either way, if it had 4 doors it was a Coronet not a Charger... :lol:

To Chrysler, the 67-74 Charger was always a two door Coronet.
Parts for Chargers are sourced under the Coronet line until the 75 models when the X VIN returned.
Seeking information on '69 St. Louis plant VINs, SPDs and VONs. Buld sheets and tag pictures appreciated. Over 3,000 on file thanks to people like you.
