Help decode this tag 4 me

[Moparal]

It.s mine. I've had it since 1980 or so. It is my race car now, and have forgot what it came with over the years.

I know it was a 340 auto with an automatic and console. Mirrors were painted and it didnt have a rallye dash.

Hey Alan,

The a does not look right, should be an "H".
It is a Rallye Red body and Rallye Red roof car, black interior.  What else do you need to know ?

[Moparal]

I got the tag in my hand. It def says a6x9   Just trying to remember the insides of the car. It had sway bars n stuff. standard disc brakes as I recall, but cant remember but I think standard steering. It has been a long time now.

Hey Alan.

I do not have a 72 up decoder.  So i do not have a clue what the "a" stands for. i know the 6 is bucket seats and the X9 is black interior.

You would need a build sheet to know what steering wheel it had buddy, these are not in the fender tag codes.

C16 is center console,  But can you check the C56 is right ?

[Moparal]

It had a regular 72/74 wheel I am sure of that

[hemiken]

it more than likely would have had the two spoke wheel.

And is the C56 correct ?
or is it C55..........

[Moparal]

c56 and g36

[hemiken]

I have no idea what the C56 is, but the G36 is the left outside racing mirror painted.

I found it hear

Cool mate.

[bb71challenger]

C56 is just the modified number for bucket seats after 71. They changed the design somewhere in that time frame that got rid of the plastic seatbacks but I always heard that started in 73. Nicely optioned car Alan. 

[Alaskan_TA]

C56 is bucket seats for 1972.

The A in A6X9 is the trim grade.

Did you get it all figured out Alan?

[Moparal]

I had it all figured out but the a6. Thanks Barry. The car probably wont ever go back on the street again. I have everything, but it is all in pieces. I am useing just the windshield frame and pillars. I had considered mailing you the vin and fender tag. I have the cowel, rad support and tittle to, but im not interested in rebuilding the car back to original anymore.

[hemiken]

Hey Alan,

Did you build the 72 as a steel shell first and then slowly changed it to its current fiberglass state ?

[Moparal]

Didnt need anything from the windshield forward, so it is in the barn in Louisiana, then I mounted glass doors and decklid. Then hurricane katrina blew the shell across the yard when it was on a cart and munched the quarters. The frame rails are at the shop to. So it's a pro stock tube chassis car now. In the mean time, my friend made a fiberglass roof, and now fiberglass quarters.   Big ole jig saw kenny. not worth it anymore.


It was a 9 sec street car all steel before I cut it up
