Fender tag info

[71bigblock]

Hi guys, pretty new here.  I found a 71' challenger R/T sitting in a dude's yard who's gonna "fix it up  someday"     Anyway, wrote down what the tag says, whats the info on this car, or where can I look it up?  Thanks!

Can you post the info from the second tag as well or was it missing? I can decode it, but would rather do it all at once if you have the info from the second tag.

Awsome looking car...Plum Crazy with white top, white interior, white R/T stripes and hood black-out treatment with R/T callouts, plus a 383/slap-stick auto.

Yeah, the second tag was there, nothing legible.  The guy told me it was plum crazy, I saw the white top, white interior, white r/t stripe, and I was like      It had a 340 in it, he said it was like that when he bought it in late 71'.  The car is complete, but needs major, and I mean major work.  All new quarters, trunk, floor needed.  What would a car like this bring?  Sorry, I know that  , but they are coming for all to express their sorrows with me.

Nice car and almost has as many options as my 71 340 RT. I would love to see the car restored as it has to be one sharp car.
