was hoping you guys could help me decipher my fender tag....I don't have a picture but I do have the report I copied from the http://www.stockmopar.com/mopar-fender-tag-decoder.php website.

Only 5 lines of code, the first starts between the mounting screws (i.e. top line is blank):

Maybe this speaks volumes to you guys, but this seems to leave out some of the details I hope to know....it may sound stupid but I was hoping this would also tell me things such as if I had a center counsel, flip gas cap, hood pins, bubblebee stripe, spoiler, etc.

Also why does it say dual exhaust w/o tips, but then say chrome tips? Also what does the "order number' mean? (I wasn't sure if I should hide that one, so I errored on the side of caution)

I hate sounding like such a noob, but I appreciate any explaination of these codes or additional information you guys might know.

Sounds like a Green challenger R/T 440 4spd with no stripes, I'm pretty sure the bumble bee stripe would have been on the fender tag, the hood pins and console would also have been stated if the car came with them. Other then that, i'm not sure. I know i'd sure love to have that car

Thanks!.....and thanks!

Kind of a bummer bout the bumblebee stripe, spoiler and hood pins....those were the things I was hoping I could add on during the restoration. Now I am wondering why I currently have a bumble stripe and why hood has hoodpin holes that have been filed in.............to my knowledge the car has been repainted but previous owner said they kept it the original colors, maybe he lied.....he was rumored to be the biggest drug dealer in town

i dont think that the console would be stated on the fender tag, mine isnt, but it looks like there are no stripes, i think that all of them that get chrome tips had the N41 then N42 codes. also not sure if the spoiler or the gas cap would show on there, dont think that they do. you would need the build sheet to tell you more informatoin. the order number is just the number that they put on when the car was ordered i think. not an expert on this topic, just stating what i see

The fender tag is a body tag...it identifies what options are on the car that require body mods. So yes, the console does show on the tag, as the brackets to mount it had to be welded on the floor pan. Some cars had the dual exhaust with out the tips, so thats why they are seperate. dual exhaust requires mounting brackets on the body, as do the tips, thats why they are shown on the fender tag. Hood pins will show on the tag, a body mod is required. Wheel selection will not, as an example.

the C that starts the order number indicates a canadian order E would be export

N41 - Duel Exhaust w/o Tips

should read;

N41 - Dual Exhaust System

Most online decoders are not model or model year specific, so do not take them as gospel.

Sorry I did not include 'V68' on my stripe code list on the other thread, your car is 'V68' stripe delete so no stripes whatsoever.
