Car came out of Manassas area in 2004 or so.
I do kind of remember something about Manassas. I will look over my files later this weekend and see if I have this car listed. I think the fender tag is posted here but you left out the last numbers if memory serves me right. If that is the case please pm it all to me.
I also think that most of the V code cars I have in the registry are F8 green and not many high impact colors. The color choices of 70 were far and wide and the most common color is the F8 green. It has been a few years since I have looked at the paper work on the cars I have and I really need to go over it again.
I also think I have an R/T with a bench seat if memory serves me on that. I know over at the Coronet Registry site there has been guys telling me that they could get a rally dash, AC car with a tac and a 4spd. I told them no you can't and to this day they still argue with me. You couldnt get AC in a car with a tac and if you got AC in a car you didn't get a 4spd car. The shifter would hit the vents if my memory is correct on that. I had a stroke a few years ago that wiped out my memory so I'm still in the process of relearning things.
Also if you see more then two black R/Ts they are cloned in some way shape or form. There were two Black R/Ts built one with white bucket seats (My old car) and then one all black and I believe both cars are stripe delete cars. I remember talking with Galen and it took him a while to get back to me on this as we both were stumped on a number and after I told him what I though the code was he offered me a job when he found the code lol. He also said only two black cars he could find in the R/T line up but again remember they didn't say (Chrysler) what car was what so I'm guessing he has the vins for the cars in records.
I think I have seen one 70 Bee that is black and it was an all black car.
There is a guy out there with a black R/T and red stripes that says its real and the more I ask questions (with different emails) the more the guy will not talk to me and I think he had it forsale as well at one time. That car is not a real black car and I'm not sure if its a real R/T.
I have been kicked off of Moparts more times then I can count for calling a bogus car.
You have a great looking project R/T and a rare one just being a V code car and one that most of us will never own or have a chance to. You're doing great work and keep up the good fight for it and I can't wait to see it done. There is a guy in NY I think upstate that has a red convertiable his name is Fram and I can't remember last name that is really good guy to talk with on these cars and may have some extra parts. I will see if I can locate his email if you need anything. I thin he spend six years or more doing his car.

I wanted to ask does your grills have the reddish orange stripe around the front of them in the grove? Mine did and I have found only a few of them that came that way from the factory.
If you look at the sales brochure for the coronet you will see the grill with the reddis stripe around them. Also there seems to be no ryhm or reason for it. I have not seen just one plant that did this and it seems to be from all different dates (not just early cars and not just late cars). This is something that is kind of odd but kind of cool.
I do recall a strike in 1970 and not sure if this could be the case some got them and some didn't. I also read that sometime back in a magazine that all the 71 cars were meant to be 70 cars but the strike forced them to do some small redesigns of their line ups.
