When it comes to Mopars, there's a lot of BS numbers out there. Documentation or walk! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

I don't know where a build sheet would be in a Dodge. Found out today that it has a 4pt. bar in it, said to be an amazingly perfect fit. Said to be a 440, 6pack,( induction there, don't know how to tell a 440 from a slant 6, well, you know!), but vin says it's a 383 car. This thing is in perfect condition and has apparently carried this story for quite some time.

Under seats(front and back). Behind dash and under carpet are places to look. Among some others. Good luck! Patrick

With a cage and thinking about the dual tank thing, did Dodge ever run anything like this in the Panamericana road races? . What else is unique about this baby, is the suspension anything special....additional supports at torsion mounts, extra tire clearances etc? . Is the paint just a solid color or is there any clues there?

I bugged my buddy to look for the build sheet on his '69 Satellite a few weeks ago. . Within about 5 minutes we were reading it after finding it in the rear seat bottom!

the other tube coming out of the trunk floor and going to the opposite side of the car is a california emmisions option and it was a vent tube that looks the same as the gas filler tube on the opposite side of the trunk.

Have you ever seen the CA emissions vent tube option on a non-CA delivered car? I.e. a Lynch Road built Massachusetts delivered '70 B body.

[/ QUOTE ] This thing has the racy gas filler door/cap on each rear fender. Please note that I'm working w/2nd hand info here, he e-mailed me pics that didn't get thru. I may get to see it Sun. It's for sale and we're trying to determine if it's something good or not.

If you like the car go for it.But if your into the car being orginal with # matching drivetrain ect.I would go with 442w30's suggestion documents or paper work proofing that its real.

Honestly, only interested to flip it, it would be like the Harley I had... all I'd think about was, 'Geez, I could have another Chevy for this kind of money!'. It's a pretty good chunk of change ( at least to me!), so it's got to be doc'd or I'm passing on it.

I finally have the VIN #XP29C8G204xxx. Anyone know what the heck any of that means? Also... stamped on front of block...F440 (?)

Re: 1 of 8?
 
XP29 MEANS CHARGER 2 DR AND THE C MEANS 318 I BELIEVE.OR MIGHT BE A 6 CYLINDER CAR. I GET CONFUSED SOMETIMES. THE F440 ON THE ENGINE MEANS 1969 440. IF IT WAS FROM. AN RT IT WOULD HAVE A HP AFTER THE 440 STAMP.SOUNDS LIKE A CLONE TO ME. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

GTO_DON, come on down! Found out today, the previous owner 'knew' of the '1 of 8' and faked it up. Never buy until you're zestfully sure!
