That's a tough one 426, since any car whose order originated overseas would get the "export" code on the fender tag. A lot of export cars never left this country, as the order for them originated at a Military Base from a serviceman who was ordering a car thru the PX so when he got stateside the car was waiting for him. So the car would have the export code on the fender tag and the export tag, as the car's order originated overseas, but it never left here. Here is a pic of a 440-6 4 speed export code 70 Cuda I once owned.

Hemi71,
My 71 Barracuda live in the UK for 33 years, starting in 71.  What code indicates EXPORT?  I have a small tag attached to the fender tag. But I thinks its American spec 100.

If it's an "EXPORT" ordered car, the SO number (2nd line from bottom, far right on fender tag) will begin with an "E". Also, there is an oval "Built in USA" Chrysler export tag mounted on the inner fender.
