This is the plant sequential production number starting with the number 100001.Hello from kuwait, skip the underlined if you dont like reading stories.Īfter 2 years of visiting the dealership on monthly bases prolly over 20 times in total. The R/T cars mostly seem to have been built on line #2. Challengers were built at two plants in the U.S.B = Dodge Main, Hamtramck, MI (all models)Į = Los Angeles, CA (no hemi cars or convertibles) This is the last digit of the model year (Not necessarily the year of manufacture)Į.g. 0 = 1970, 1 = 1971, etc. V = 440 ci six pack (1970-71 only) Sixth digit The 1971 ordering guide lists it as JL21 but they are known to be stamped JH23. This tells us the body type.23 = Two door hardtop27 = Convertible29 = Special Edition car (with the small rear window)Īgain there is some confusion as to the Challenger Deputy. The Challenger Deputy is reported to have been “L” (for Low) but examples seen seem to have the “H” instead. All others (including the 1973-4 Rallye) have the letter “H” (for High). The 1970-71 Challenger R/T and 1972 Rallye have the letter “S” (for Special). For a Challenger this is the letter “J” Second digit The first digit in the VIN is the car line. Note that the plant and date code digits (first two of the last eight) exchange places when stamped into the body. The radiator support, the cowl, rear package tray, convertible cross brace, rear body behind the bumper and (although I have never heard of anyone finding one on a Challenger) on the left-hand trunk weather-stripping rail. The last 8 digits of the VIN are also stamped into the body in one or more of these places depending on where it was built. The VIN can also be found on a label, attached to the rear face of the driver’s door near the striker, that also has the date of manufacture and certifies that the car conforms to federal safety regulations. This tag also has many of the codes that identify the options that originally came with the car. ![]() ![]() The second main place is on the metal tag attached to the top of the driver’s side inner fender. ![]() The first and main place to find the VIN is on a plate attached to the edge of the dash pad on the driver’s side and is visible through the windshield. The VIN is a thirteen-digit number which is stamped, whole or in part, in various places on the car making it very difficult for anyone to sell the car as something it is not. It would be easy to take, say, a 1970 318 model worth a few thousand Dollars and drop in a Hemi engine and sell it for tens of thousands of Dollars if it were not for the VIN. You can use this number to check how rare or original your vehicle really is. The most important documentation to come with your Challenger is its vehicle identification number.
