    Don't have my book of codes, but going from memory here's what I see....

    383 HP Motor
    Auto Trans
    R/T Challenger
    Built in Hamtramck
    Plum Crazy Purple without vinyl top
    Built Dec 11 1969
    Ralley Gauge
    Console
    Bucket Seats
    other standard stuff like mirror, dual exhaust, bright tips, am/fm radio, hood tie downs and tach.

    Hard to tell, but it look like the "68" stripe delete code.  Looking at the rust on the tag I would guess the rest of the car is in need a major resto.

    The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

    Thank you all.. I can get the car with the matching number motor for 6500...

     Needs total restoration to include floor pans and trunk pan but the outside looks good.

     I guess i will go for it...

    Did you check yourself if it's numbers matching or the seller told you? If so you should check yourself. Whoops forgot he sent you the pic.  :banghead:
    Also good idea to check that the the tag matches the vin, door,cowl, and rad support.

    That's a good price for a 70 R/T. I hope the frame is solid.

    Well here it is... frame rails are all good except for a small spot below where the battery was..

     Do have a question though.. Why would this car have to fender antennas? One on both fenders in the factory looking location and factory antenna base?

     Possible Police car?
