Help With Fender Codes

Postby Gerrad Friedline (Gmfried » 12 Apr 2002 23:07

I tried to use the options code page, but I couldnt get all the info I wanted, and some option codes on my plate were conflicting. For example: 1st line "N41 N42..." According to this my car had: N41 "Dual Exhst. W/o Tips, and N42" Chrome dual exhst tips.
I am new to cars in general, and my challenger is my first collector car. Am I reading this wrong? Or is it right? A few other codes defy me as well.

5N2, V9W, 26, V1W, FK5, H6K4, 000, C08, 013585, G55, JH23, H0B, 214527

Im guessing that the longer numbers mean dealership codes, and production numbers, but a few defy me. The V1W and V9W, does that mean my car had a white vinyle top? and a white bumblebee stripe? My cars color is a burnt orange mettalic from what I can tell (A lot of redone bodywork, some original paint).
Also The Options codes lists my car as a 4-spd manual, but my car has an auto, with a speedgate shift, and automatic console, is it possible that somebody has changed my car this much?
Here is the complete tag, maybe you can tell me something I might be missing.
5N2
N41 N42 R11 V9W Y05 26
V1W A66 C16 C55 J45 M21
FK5 H6K4 000 C08 013585
G55 D21 JH23 H0B 214527

Thanks for your support, it is wierd doing this when you are really new.
