Where on the door was your original VIN decal located ? Up high, or in the middle ?

I've seen both in 1970, just wondering which is more commonly accepted

I was thinking the same thing...I know it's usually 100% right above the latch in 1971, but 70 seems to vary....I know the two orange doors I posted are both 70's and original.

"There's no such thing as putting a '70 AAR 'Cuda exactly where you want it. The 'Cuda isn't interested in such things, for they require finesse. Finesse asked the 'Cuda out to dinner once, but the 'Cuda stood it up to go drink beer under an overpass with her hot little sister. As far as this car is concerned, finesse can go stuff itself."

Yes it's a 71' but the point is that it's in the same place as earlier months.

I highly doubt they decided to place it different within the first 2 or 3 years of production.

This is where my vin is located since 1985 I owned the AAR
It was taped over before the color change it was not removed.
