Who is good with decoding fender tags and the like

[djohn658]

After searching all over the web for information on my 1962 Fury convertible, I'm still at a loss as to what all these numbers mean.. I've got the vin tag figured out, but the fender tag and the partial build sheet I found under the springs of the rear seat (mice, gotta love em) still don't mean much to me.. Is there a definitive source out there that can decode what these codes and numbers mean?

Here's what I have so far...

Vin tag (inside of drivers door frame)
3321168445 I found that this means Plymouth V8-High trim-1962 model year-Lynch Rd plant- vehicle 68445

Now, how about that fender tag?

This is what I am having problems decoding.

If some guru could help me figure out what this is supposed to tell me, that would be appreciated.

Also, does anyone have a photo of a complete lynch road plant build sheet from 1962? That might help me start to reconstruct the missing parts of mine...

Thanks!

Don

I've looked at that, it's for 67-68.

Correct me if I'm wrong Kpf, but I believe that Kpfsuperbees was suggesting that if you look at the top, right-hand side of that link he gave you, it says..."Don't speak MOPAR? Have your 1962 to 1981 MOPAR decoded - Click Here." You have to pay to get the info....

 

[kpfsuperbees]

not there u can do it your self i decoded my 67 and 68 darts on that page hang on ill write down ur numbers and try it

 

[khryslerkid]

'62-'65 can be a crap shoot on the fender tag decoding. You'll find info here and there. A lot of it comes from comparing other owners tags that have been documented. Info on '66 and up isn't what you want. The other alternative is to pay for the decoding from companies who do it.

Try looking under your dash, attached to your glove box, for a broadcast sheet. A real good place to find the complete sheet if the glove box hasn't been tampered with...

Here's some '65 numbers. I like this website for some good info,

Some members on here have access to decoding books and should be able to help out too. Be patient.

Some nice person has posted scans of the white book here :evil5: -

That looks like everything I have found so far. I wasn't sure of the engine. The trans in this car is a pushbutton automatic, though- No column shift.
I've wondered if the "3 Backuplights" is the reason this car has 3 rear lights on a side like the Sport Fury, without all the big engined goodness....
