Hello again FBBO,

Been gone for a while.....but have returned with a friend. My son, father and I just drove up to Alexandria Mn from Texas, to pick up and restore a 67' Coronet 500 convert, 4BBL car. Super juiced about it......

the 66/67 charger site is probably about the best you're gonna find

some stuff is Charger specific like seats for instance

http://www.chargersourceguide.com/67fendertag.html

I see mymopar has a 66/67 tag decoder but lining up all the codes with the letters can be a pain.

Glad you are going to do the car justice. Saw that one for sale too. Debated on buying it. Good luck. There is a site out there to decode. Used it to decode my 67 Coronet 500. I will take a look for it and let you know.

So going through the evaluation process and t

the 66/67 charger site is probably about the best you're gonna find

some stuff is Charger specific like seats for instance

http://www.chargersourceguide.com/67fendertag.html

I see mymopar has a 66/67 tag decoder but lining up all the codes with the letters can be a pain.

.....so I found a lot of it, but still missing a few bits.

Top Row
a5 = buddy seat or folding arm rest (Mother-in-Law seat also)
b4 = front bucket seats
h7 = fender mounted turn indicators (all 67 Chargers will have this code)
k7 = passenger side door mirror (manual)
t0 = ???

Second Row
A1 = 26” radiator core width
K8 = ????
R1 = 2 watt AM radio
S1 = factory installed A/C with heater (if car has “add-on” A/C, there will be no number under the “S”)
X1 = all tinted glass (not all cars have this on the tag but have tinted glass)
Y2 = ?????

Third Row
A4 = 3.23 to 1 ratio
TRM = P6E
PNT = ZZ1 = gold metallic
UBS = B for black
WP27 62 5 435 915 28103

WP27 Coronet Convert
62 = 383 4BBL
5 = Auto
43 = 7.75 x 14” whitewall
The next single digit will more then likely be the number “5”.....this means that all the tire sizes above will also mean the spare tire is the same size. If no single digit here, you got no spare.
Sept 15 build date 28,103 order number

Did some checking and t0 code is unknown. K8 is power windows. Y2 is white convertible top. These seem correct? That t0 is an interesting one. The only code I have seen on that end before was for the "u" just after that and was u1 for a special order car.
