Matt we need pics of this nice 64. I can't help on the decoding but sounds like you have the colors I'm looking fore.

It's not a Polara 500. I read somewhere that C5 could be 383 engine ? L1 seems to be A/C so H2 could be tinted windows.

You need to know the assembly plant for decoding. What is the fourth digit in the VIN?

You’re right. I was forgetting that the codes change a bit with plants.

Knowing that the palnt is Los Angeles (5), does it tell you more ?

The problem is that different plants put the various codes in different places on the tag. I only have info. on lynch rd. and hamtramck, and they are quite different. The bottom line is the same at all plants. The bottom line is correct as stated above except that the fact it is a V/8 was not noted. The 5 under the A and C, could be 383 two barrel and auto trans., but that is a bit of a guess. If your car does have a 383 in it, the model year and date code would be stamped on the passenger side deck surface in front of the head. I'm sorry I can't be more help but unless you know where they put the codes on the plate you are just guessing. As an example lynch road has the engine code under the AB, but hamtramck has it under the QR. The codes are the same but the placement is different.

It's probably worth pulling up the rear seat bottom and having a look for the build sheet. It too is difficult to decode in '64 but the pieces can add up to make a more complete picture.

Unfortunately, there is a stroker engine in the car and the seats (front and back) have been swapped with 1963 seats. So no build sheet...

Try 1962to1965mopar.ornocar.com. They might have info on LA tags.
