V6X=? White longitudinal Stripe for 1973?

Yes a white sport stripe

Wonder why TB3 listed twice?  :clueless:

The one towards the top of the tag indicates the roof color.  In this case, the car had no vinyl roof, just the body color roof.  If the upper TB3 was V1W for example that would indicate a white vinyl top.

I wonder what the interior color is?  The code, A6X9

A is the trim grade, 6 indicates it's vinyl buckets, X9 is the color (in this case black)

Thanks for the clarification, Jamiez!  :thumbsup:

Weird, I just thought if there was no vinyl roof it was assumed to have body color and not mention any color code.  Good to know!  :thumbsup:

There are some two tone painted roof cars, in which case the second code indicates the paint.  A quick google search found some here

Locally there was one of those painted roof Challenger T/As.  Look different.  I know some Darts came like that too.
