Decode Help, 68 Coronet

Does anyone have access to a decoder? I can't seem to find one for my 68 Coronet.

Any help is appreciated.

Yes on the white with green interior. not sure on the radio as it's long gone.

The 66/67 Charger site has a 67 Charger specific tag decoder that may or may not be totally correct.

you might start there

1968 Coronet 500 convert
318 auto 2.94 open rear
AM radio
Ordered car
Green top
White paint
Green pinstripe
Scheduled production date C12 December 12 1967
P4F and no codes under “a” so this is bench seat.

Very low options, the codes under 1-8 are usually trim which a Coronet 500 convert has lots of as standard.
wheel well
Rocker
Belt line

bench on a 500 is kinda rare but I've seen it on convertibles

very interesting. On the green pinstripe, any idea where that was on that year? Is it across the tail like this?

YY1 · Mar 17, 2021

Nope.

"Standard" pinstripe about a inch below the tops of the fenders, etc.

The various configurations for the 500 is interesting

The bench seat was standard on the convertibles.

Buckets with buddy seat standard on four door.
Bucket standard on HT.
Buckets optional on convertible and station wagon.

That is a bumble bee stripe. Which is a tape stripe. The pinstripe is a thin dual painted on stripe on the upper body.

thanks RT. Where I'm tripped up is that mine isn't white, it's more of an off white. I can tell it's been repainted at least once but was done poorly however the engine bay is in the same off white color.

1 Wild R/T · Mar 17, 2021

The stock color wasn't a bright white... Back in the day lotta cars got repainted "Corvette White" cause it was a bright white.... Look how much brighter the "Corporate White' is than the WW-1 code white..

Any idea what the original green convert top print is? I have this car but currently has a black top that needs to be replaced and would like the correct top but can’t find a definitive answer on it

1 Wild R/T · Dec 16, 2021

0 under the Y means green convertible top.... Didn't have any luck finding a picture...
