    data tag decode
    « on: November 29, 2006 - 08:35:54 AM »
    Looking at buying a cuda. I'm new to Plymouths. I have restored 2 1970 Mustangs and I'm looking to do a cuda next.
    Can somebody decode these 1973 data tags for me?

    thanks in advance

    Really hard to say without seeing a pic of the car....a rusty 73/318 car wouldn't fetch much money IMO...If it is a real BS23G3 car, then I would have to say thats a little rare, but I still don't know how much without seeing pics.

    some little corrections:
    J54 = Sport Hood
    HB1 = Blue Sky ("Light Blue" was Dodge only) :angelwings:


    btw:
    L31 = Fender Mounted Turn Signal
    G27 = never heard or seen : Barry please help :dunno:
    318 (150 HP) engines were standard on Cudas in '73
    In 1973 only 1832 Cudas with automatic and 318 were built

    My bet is that G27 is actually G37 - Chrome racing mirrors with drivers side remote.
