i recently bought 2 1970 chargers.  one is a rolling chassis in wonderful shape, with the other being a parts car.  i have the vin off of both cars (both xp29's) but the fender tag is gone off the rolling chassis.  it appears to be a highly optioned car with air, power disc brakes, hd suspension, cruise and sg rear end.  is there any way to glean more info from the vin tag?  thanks,  hawkeye

Only engine and assembly plant.  Is there an interior in the car?

Ghoste

Oh, and welcome to the group and we love pics no matter what condition the cars are in. :lol:

regarding options, the only thing the VIN's going to tell you is the motor it came with... Now, a XH versus a XP car has different "standard" items, but not in the realm of brakes, color interior, auto vs. manual transmission, etc.....

Welcome here, hawkeye. Unfortunately, no way to tell how your car was configured from  the factory without a buildsheet or fender tag.

Ghoste

Headliner and behind glovebox are a couple of spots to look for a broadcast sheet too.

Yes, if you have the broadcast sheet.

The broadcast sheet (build sheet) tells you everything,
The fender tag tells you the major options.  (69s http://www.1969chargerregistry.com/decoder.html) (68s http://www.jimshine.com/tag%20info/68tagdecode.htm )
The VIN tells you model (in this case Charger), engine, and plant built at.

thanks for all the replies.  unfortunately  the entire interior except for the dash and steering column is gone.  can't understand why someone would remove fender tag. thanks
