The VIN indicates a 318 Challenger of 1972 vintage, and the trim codes on the tag are easily decoded with one of many books out there. Galen Govier's "white books" are very popular, and accurate. The codes on your tag are as follows, for all that I have immediately available to me: E44=318-2V engine; D34=Torqueflite; TB3=Super Blue; B6B5 is a blue interior; V1W=white vinyl roof; B51=power disc brakes; C16=console w/Bucket seats; C56=Bucket seats; M21=roof drip rail moldings; M42 is front end moldings; R11 is the Music Master AM radio; V7W is a white stripe, and EN2 signifies the end of codes.

It is probably right though....

They changed how they did things at Hamtramck for the '72 models. I do not know the first day of scheduled production for sure yet, but the earliest 1972 model I have seen from there so far is dated 720.

Don't know who's tag you want but here is the one I used to have.  Sold it to a friend of mine.  Hope this helps.

Coupeman,

  Your codes are pretty cool.  The blue car with white top and white stripe surrounding a blue interior is awesome.  That car will look stunning in that form if you are to take it back to original!
