Rear Seat Tag
« on: February 03, 2007 - 08:49:40 PM »
Since I got my Challenger, I've been wandering around these forums for the last several months and haven't seen anything about an aluminum tag that I found under my rear seat.   Are these normal?    :clueless:

Attached is a pic...

Very normal. They have the part number and date code.

You are a wealth of information, Barry.   Thanks!   So, how do I decode the date on this one?

Most of my knowledge is 1970 specific, so if I am wrong, someone please correct me....  :1zhelp:

3123 - 3 - last digit of year, 1973. 123, 123rd day of 1973.

Edit;
I think I got that bass ackwards, this makes more sense for your car;

312 - 312th day 3 - 1973 (1974 model year)
