I just bought a R/T can anyone tell me
what I have on my hands? The VIN is WP23623435B0808240 That is the bottom number there is another number 48P6XPP1B. Does this make heads or tails to anyone?
Code:
 
Welcome, WP says 500 no R/T what year? Vin does not look correct.
 
Ok try this. WP23X623435B0. The X could be a K not sure I can't get the pics to load I will try again when I get on my other puter. AX is 49 TRM is P6X PNT is PP1 UBS is B. Thanks for the help I think its a 66.

WP is premium class R/T is WS (special) G is usually 318 but could be 383 prior to 70's. If the 6th is a 2, it should be a 72. No R/T in 72.

5th is Engine

K is 360 in mid/late 70's

No X engine size that I am aware of.

U is a late 440, L is an early.

Is this a charger?

Pre- 66 shouldn't have W as first character and I don't think had any letters, but my pre-66 is not good.
 
It is a 66 red on red I still can't make out the engine code the guy got it from said it had a HEMI. This car was a uncles and he doesn't know much about it there is no engine or trans it was a four speed.

OK, what you have is actually a `67 Coronet 500 Equipped with a 383 4bbl backed by a console shifted 4 spd.(kool). Came with 14" police steelies w/ black sidewalls and a 3.23 sure grip, bright red with a black vinyl top and premium interior. AM radio fender mounted turn signals and a tach. The scheduled production date is a bit strange, B08 is Nov. 08 of `66, but I don't know what the extra 0 meens(reads B080)? Somebody painted it blue at some point. This is the best I could do with G.G.'s White books.
 
You're good Matt!! i plugged in the F/T into the my mopar decoder and this is what i got...

CAR: Dodge Coronet 500 2 Door Hardtop
ENGINE: 383cid 4-bbl HP V8
TRANSMISSION: 4-Speed Manual Floor Shift
TIRES: 7.75 x 14 WSW
BUILD DATE: November 08.
AXLE: 3.23 Rear Axle Ratio, Sure Grip
INTERIOR: Premium Trim Grade, Vinyl Bucket Seats. Black Interior.
PAINT: Monotone Red Paint.
OTHER: Black Upper Door Frame Color.

either way...that looks like 67 up F/T...
 
The scheduled production date is a bit strange, B08 is Nov. 08 of `66, but I don't know what the extra 0 meens(reads B080)?

It means the 0 is misstamped one place to the left. The SO should start with 08
 
The VIN is WP23623435B0808240

BTW, that's not the VIN. The VIN should be on a plate rivited to the front driver's side door frame. (you did check the VIN against the title didn't you???)
 
Thanks for all the helpful facts title is 66 and everything matches up.any ideas on keeping it original or just go with the 440 I have 73 motorhome.? How do go about a restore without any powerplant? If anyone has a 66/67 383 block I may be in the market for one. Thanks again.
 
They made 766 of them, so I would consider that rare enough, I would definitely restore the body and interior faithfully and it shouldn't be to difficult to find a 383 with the correct date code.
 
Nice!!
 
I revived some good news the engine and trans for the coronet are living in the trunk of a station wagon at the brothers house. but i have to haul off the station wagon 1969 furry wagon big block auto . what a Christmas gift spare parts.
