There is no fender tag. Also there's no stamp on the trunk lip in 68 only in 69 and 70.
Establishing a VIN number from the order number on radiator core support

But again can the radiator core support number be cross referenced to establish the VIN?

I was not aware of this. I always assumed big block and small black k members were different...

...or an IBM card if it exists for his car and to get it from Stelantis, requires the VIN, and proof of ownership.
Chargers were XS29

thanks....
they all has the "S"? ........ my GTX VIN, RS23L8A.... the "S" stands for "special".......I assumed only the Charger R/T would be XS.......
23 is two door hard top, Chargers are 29?
I have much more experience with RR/GTX and Bees........ I am not a Charger expert
66-70 were XS29.
You're correct, not all Chargers were the S special price class. Just using mine as an example along with the 29 designation.

That's incorrect. 68 had the same stamping on the trunk lip under weatherstripping that's also found on the radiator support......including mine.

All right I'll look again. Is it supposed to be on the driver side?

1968 Charger VIN started with XP29 for a regular Charger
XS29 was an R/T version
You could measure the diameter of the torsion bars in the car
Not sure of the sizes off the top of my head but the R/T had the heavier version as in fatter size

S stands for special
P stands for premium which is all Chargers

So I just looked up the VIN decoder online and it says that this is an R/T version. Is that correct?

Mine is. About the middle of the rail.

For title problems I suggest using Broadway Title www.broadwaytitle.com
There was a 1971 442 in a garage in an abandoned house that my mother bought at a sheriff's tax sale in 1999 and it had no title. It was not stolen but it was abandoned. Broadway title fixed me up with a title with the correct VIN.
