Here is the tag.   Can someone decode everything?  Is there a book with these codes?

The decode:

WH23: Dodge Coronet,Charger High 2 Door Hardtop

G4A: 318 150HP(net) or 170HP(net) 1-2BBL 8 CYL
1974
Lynch Road, MI, USA

284198:   Sequence number

E44:    318 cid 2 barrel V8 230hp
D34: Light Duty Automatic Transmission
JL6:    Aztec Gold Poly Exterior Color
N1YW: Trim - Unknown, Unknown, Unknown Color
000:    Full Door Panels
723:    Build Date: July 23
233708:   Order number

V4W: Unknown Top Color
U:    USA Specifications
V7W: Accent Stripes, White

22:    Unknown

G54: Outside LH Remote Chrome Racing Mirror


I got most of this by memory, but I have some exceptions and guesses to add to the decoder application:

22 = Is not unknown. It is a 22-inch wide radiator.
000 = Is not most likely "full door panels". It's just a blank code.
N1YW = Probably one of the cool 1974 2-tone white/gold or Aztec style vinyl+cloth interior.
V4W = A white vinyl top.


Got any other pictures of the car that you could share?

1972 Charger, Grand Sport #41
1973 Charger "T/A"

The above are related to production of the body in white.

181= rear axle assembly number. I presume it's an 8.25 axle
868= last three digits of transmission part number = 3681868

G54= left hand outside; remote; chrome racing mirror

22= 22" radiator

V4W= White vinyl canopy top
U= Built for sale in the US
V7W= white painted stripe on the side

JL6= Aztec Gold Metallic
N1YW = interior code = Charger interior; Cloth and Vinyl bench seat; gold and white interior.
000=full door panels
723 (1974) = SCHEDULED (not actual) production date.
233708= Vehicle Order Number (VON)

E44= 318-2bbl 150 HP Net
D34= Automatic transmission
WH23= Charger 2 Dr HT
G=318-2bbl
4= Model year 1974
A= built at Lynch road plant

Lots of good info at Hamtramck Historical. http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/library.shtml

Check out the data and color and trim books.

thanks for the info guys. 

Loaded the car up yesterday and drove her home.  13 hours driving with no problems.

I'll get her cleaned up and post some pics.  Here are a couple teasers.  She's nothing real special by any means.

is that trunk lid rust free? if so you are lucky ! I could not find one at Carlisle this past weekend in any condition !  :brickwall:

Cuda Hunter

It is absolutely rust free but there is a pretty good ding on one of the corners. 
Don't have detailed pictures yet.  Gotta go get a title first then I can start cleaning and cataloging stuff.
