What was the difference between the Canada and US made specs? Y05 and Y07 - Sales destination for the car.

What is B17? - Most likely the scheduled production date, where is it on the tag?

A05 - Protection Group? - This could also be the scheduled production date also if it is on a different tag?

Photos help, some data has a different meaning depending on where it is on the tag.   ;)

Thanks for the reply!

The B17 is in the third row down from the top:

A05: There is just one tag. On the second row from the top:

OK, so a 1970 Challenger from the Hamtramck plant then?

B17 is the scheduled production date (not necessarily the date built, it varied a lot) Nov. 17, 1969 (1970 model year)

For info on the A05 option, see this page;
