Fender Tag - code listed twice
« on: May 15, 2010 - 10:57:02 PM »
I'm about to purchase a '70 R/T Challenger, and noticed that a code on the fender tag is listed twice.

The paint code FE5 (Bright Red - the car has been repainted, obviously) is listed twice. Once for the exterior paint code. Anybody have any idea what the 2nd one is for? I thought it might be for vinyl roof colour or something, but I'm unsure.

I ran the tag through the decoder from StockMopar, but that particular code in that place came back with this: The provided code/year combo is currently undocumented.

Car is Hamtramck built.

Also, anybody have an idea on what the "15" stamped in the top right corner of the tag has to do with?

Cheers!

Bottom code is the lower body color.

Upper code is the roof.

Upper code can be the same color, vinyl or convertible top or another paint color. (two-tone)

15 - Inspected by inspector 15. (likely before paint, after body work, panel alignment, etc.)

Also, the car was on Ebay back in 2003, it was in CA back then.

Awesome. Thanks mate.

I thought it had something to do with the roof, but wasn't 100%. Appreciate your time.
