Where did you find out the D25 was a 5 speed?


Thats the idea Cody, there is no D25 from ma Mopar....thats my code for the tremec 5 speed in the car.

R38 is the non-existant code for the hidden audio AM-FM with 10 CD trunk mount changer.    :thumbsup:

TX9 is the code for Black

All the rest of the codes are legit except for one more...and it's more of an inappropriate use than a made up code. Anybody get that one?

P38 is power windows...thats original to the car.  Matter of fact most of the codes on this tag are legit and original to the car.  And B51 always shows up on the fender tag of power brake cars, no matter the axle package.

And i have seen factory 383 and even 1 340 car with a dana 60 rear, maybe they were snuck thru, you know Ma Mopar, never say never!

Romi, this tag was made by AG Backeast (Data Tags). You'll have to layout the tag for them, they wont do it themselves, and you MUST include the word "CLONE" on the tag somewhere or some other method to make it clear this is not a real tag. Cost me $50, and the look on some peoples faces when they read this kind of tag is well worth the $50!

 :cheers:      :cheers:

I'll make up a "Fender tag decode" sheet to display with the car, then when i show it, I'll have that with the car to explain the codes.

 :thumbsup:

V01 is the code for monotone paint (and never appears on a fender tag).  A correct solid color Black Velvet (no vinyl roof) TX9 car would have TX9 repeated in that space.  A V code would only be there if the car had a vinyl roof (i.e. V1X  for a black vinyl roof). Nicely done hemi71.

Thanks ttt !  Good catch of that code....I thought i'd put that one in there as another way to make it different.

  :biggrin:

BTW...this car started life as a 383 4 speed Cuda, with power windows, factory A/C, and tinted glass,standard rallye hood, 3.55 sure grip, AM radio. Triple black car. I have the original 383 #'s match short block for it.
