Fender Tag Help

Trying to figure out this one.  VERY TOP LEFT HAND SIDE.  Cant seem to get it. 

17W? Maybe?  Not sure.  Any thoughts?

[XP29H9]

Maybe V7W?

It looks like it could be V7W. Not sure how that decodes though. If possible take the tag off and read it from the back side. That should be easier to read even if it is backwards. Might be able to read it in a mirror?

Excellent!  That's definitely it.  White pinstripe.  Thanks!  and thats still a good idea for future reference 66FB!

Ok, so here is the decoding I got.

Now, M3G meaning 400 or 318, but an E63 code for a 383?  Is that right?

And what is the E6X9 trim?

Also, what is the V28 code?


Any input is appreciated!  I enjoy finding out whats on these tags.

E6 - see http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/images/dealerships/colorAndTrim/1973/73_Charger0005.jpg the X9 is black.

28 (no V) is 28'' radiator.

E63 for the 1970 model year was the 400 - see http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/images/dealerships/DealershipDataBook/1973/73_Charger_Total0014.jpg

Also, 112 is your SPD - the scheduled production date which may or may not be the actual build date. Your Mylar door sticker has a month / day / hour code, can you take a photo of it?

Ok, so the E6X9 is for the Black Cloth and Vinyl seats.  And it has a console, so they're buckets.  It's pretty wild to see that they console was a "no cost" option!

E63... so it did come with a 400.  That's pretty cool, as that's what the motor that's in it now is. (owner blew up original.. see my post in Gen Disc. "what's better than ONE 1973 Charger).

Looks like that hamtramck-historical.com is a really good reference site.  I'll have to keep that one in mind.
