You need a VIN to start. That car looks great, but it could be anything.

And they kept the original upper radiator hose…

And they kept the original upper radiator hose…

Okay let me start over.............I'm looking for prior owner information. I put a deposit on it last week, just trying to talk to a previous owner. Provenance is what I need. I know it's the wrong radiator and hose, looks to be pre 66. I'll be changing out the upper hose. I do know it was not a original Hemi car.

It’s a nice looking car. And it would be hard to build it for less than they are asking. The Belvedere is just the lowest trim level for all the B body Plymouth’s in ‘69. Obviously if it was trimmed a Road Runner or GTX, it would be higher priced.

It’s a Great looking car. You couldn’t build it for that price. Well bought, Congratulations.

Thank you..........Did you see the last 4 of the vin #? 4026

 

[Runcharger]

The sleeper flat hood is cool.

Naa didnt see the actual vin. Posted what I thought the fender tag says. Its what I made out of the blurred image. In the end that portion of the tag is just the sequence number. This is what I thought it said. 276926 But it could be 274026 or it could be 274926 I do believe you are correct on the 4 being there now that I look at it again.

 

[BeepBeepRR]

Going to convert it to a negative image to see if I can tell better. Ok checking out the negative version. 274026..

With numbers corrected I also think the code is B95 now here is the result.
Code Description

5 = Los Angeles, CA, USA

G = St.Louis built

...I'm looking for prior owner information.

Link to a prior sale- about 1000 miles ago. There is a phone number for a seller that you can maybe call?

B96
276926

Better Tag pic from the other listing. '69 Plant Code is a Letter - in this case "G" for St. Louis. VIN is more clear in this one - 274026. Fairly late '69 build, so headrests would likely be correct. K-frame has '70 sway bar holes in, at least,the bottom plate - can't tell if they go through the top - skid plate is cobbled on. (EDIT: I shouldn't say "cobbled" - it is just a custom add-on for that deep pan...)

Here's another link to a sale that was about 1000 before the last one - 9750mi. In this listing. the car has a 3.23 8-3/4 (you can see the flange and weld in this pic), so the Dana was swapped in somewhere between then and now. There is a contact number on this one, too.

[moes]

this is from one of the listings

There is also a drive shaft loop and bolt on frame connectors making this car at home on the street or track.

I wonder if they blew up the 8 3/4 at some time and replaced it with the Dana?

Thank You. Completed the deal. Being delivered this week.

And they kept the original upper radiator hose…

You mean...the 'donkey cock' if you can call that a hose.

The air filter alone must be worth a fortune.

Didn’t want to be “disrespectful” and call it as such.
Couple of minor corrections and this car will be lovely!
