68 charger

[moparsal]

Anyone  know why my numbers matching unrestored original  68 charger  radiator supports numbers DO NOT MATCH the Vin,
My 69 numbers match, 
Sal from n.y.

The dash VIN matches the numbers stamped on the engine and tranny. This number, if present, is stamped by the oil sending unit on the back of the block.
The body numbers, radiator support and trunk rail, match the sales order number on the fender tag.

om your 68 the numbers on the core support are different because A. its been changed at some point or B. its an early build and has the s.o. number instead of the v.i.n.

Seen several 68, not any of them matches radiator support numbers.....(69 do, haven't seen any that didn't match)

Same number of the radiatorsupport is stamped somewhere in middle of the package tray (best viewed while lying in the trunk facing up!)

My original unmolested '68 R/T (back in '79 when I owned it) did not have numbers matching between VIN, engine/tranny, and body. There were 3 different numbers entirely.

On '68's the vin number will only match the partial vin stamp on the engine and transmission if they are stamped. The S.O. number on the fender tag will match the stampings on the radiator support and left side trunk lip. If you have any photos of different stamping configurations I'd love to see them.

 That's the way I understand it and haven't seen it any other way on all the cars I looked at when I was shopping.

That would be for 69s, where the VIN is in all the previously mentioned places.
