I just bought an original 1968 GTX and trying to learn all the number checks? I have this on the block and transmission and what does these letters mean?
Matching numbers I hope?

Those should match the VIN number on your dash... They won't match the number on the fender tag or stamped into the trunk lip or the radiator support..
Do you have the fender tag and build sheet?

Yup Build Sheet/Broadcast sheet will tie the VIN to the SO number which is the number stamped into the fender tag..
My 1969 Road Runner example. Hope this helps.
Qtr. panel number usually under trunk seal.
Let me know if you want an approximate location?

69 and newer is a completely different deal.... In 69 the VIN is stamped in the fender tag, the trunk lip and the radiator support.. Not so on a 68...

Full disclosure.... I had no idea they were different till I got my 68 Coronet...I'd always played with 69/70 & 71 stuff.. Bought it off a guy who told me the whole story of coming home from Vietnam & getting the car & the girl....Wow did not know that. I though 68 and 69 where stamped the same.
Thirty some years later both were showing a few battle scars...
Car was a mess, but it was so cheap I didn't even look at the tag, I'd seen the VIN & knew that said it was a real R/T convertible... Load it up & get it outta here before the guy changes his mind...Got it home & discovered the VIN tag and the fender tag have different numbers.... WTH is the car stolen? Started digging into the books & learned a lot...

The letter A in the VIN stamping indicates Lynch Road. GTXs were also built in St. Louis (G), and Los Angeles (E). I've owned seven, and six came from Lynch Road. Your car reminds me of my avatar, it looked similar before some cleaning up, after first purchase in 1983. Hard to find them in that kind of shape today.

The "A" is the build plant.. Lynch Road.

More importantly, do the numbers on the right bottom corner of the tag match the stamping on the radiator support and trunk lip?
Do the engine and trans stamped numbers match the VIN?

I thought 68 didn't have stamped numbers on radiator support and trunk lip?

It has numbers, they should match the SO number on the bottom right corner of the tag.... But they don't match the VIN..
