72 Challenger Fender Tag
« on: September 05, 2008 - 08:18:07 AM »
Here's the fender tag for our 72 Challenger, I don't think there is anything special, but thought I'd check with you guys. :thumbsup:

N23 R11 V78 26 EN2
M51 J25 L25 L31 M21 M42
V1X U C16 C56 G11 G35
CY4 B6Y3 000 623 340669
E44 D34 JH23 G2B 485368

I've got a pic of the fender tag if any of these don't seem correct. The only code that was really hard to read is M51.

I think M51 is H51 (A/C),
CY4 is GY4 (Light Gold)

CY4 is actually GY4 I bet......

A photo would help. Sometimes if it is rusty or if it has been painted several times the back of the tag is easier to read.  ;)

Is the GY4 Light Gold color really a yellow? The car is currently painted blue, but the engine bay, firewall, fender tag all have traces of a yellow color.

Not the greatest pic, but you can see some color on the fender tag below



One more question, does the B6Y3 code indicate that the interior was Light Gold as well???? The current interior is gray.

Thanks for all your help!

That's pretty similar to the fender tag on my 72 challenger.
