[Glenn Jackson (Henner)]

looking for a little help with my vin tag here's what I need to know what does h6x9, vx7 and gy3 stand for. Thank-you Glenn

[Ted S (Teds)]

They sound like option codes from the fender tag?

[Hans (72challenger)]

Don't tell me you didn't knew what he meant Ted!

H6X9 = Black vinyl interior trim
VX7 = ??
GY3 = Yellow gold exterior

Post your full tag Glenn, then I'm sure somebody else can help you with the VX7 code

[Mike Lanouette (Mikel)]

V7X-ACCENT STRIPE (BLACK)

[Dave-R (Roppa440)]

I cannot stress enough the importance of the position of the code on the tag. Just where it is tells you what it is. Have a look at this and you will see what I mean.

http://www.challenger440.pwp.blueyonder. co.uk/cgi-bin/disc/show.cgi?tpc=6&post=5 873#POST5873

The tag is slightly different from 1972 though.

Also read the other tag examples and the comments with them.

You will see two of these codes on the other examples in this section of the board. H6X9 is black vinyl bucket seats. GY3 is a paint code (if it is in the right place on the tag) which you can find by going to the correct page on my web site for the year of your car and look for the link to the color chart with the list of paint codes.

The VX7 has me stumped though.

[Dave-R (Roppa440)]

You guys are getting in there faster than me these days! GOOD!

[Glenn Jackson (Henner)]

Thanks heres the full tag r26 vx7 26 en2 m31 m42 m44 n41 n42 c55 g11 h51 j78 j81 m21 u a45 a46 b51 c16 gy3 h6x9 000 a12 018177 e55 d32
I don't know what the u stands for either. the vx7 accent stripe was that just a plain black stripe? I have decoded most of the vin its just the few that I have listed that have me stumped.

[Dave-R (Roppa440)]

Glenn. PLEASE read the other threads in this section. See how the others have written out the tags? Unless you write out the tag as it looks in real life line by line then it is VERY hard to make sense of. You will also see things like the U which stands for USA ordered. It also means your car is a 72-74 model whch again is kinda important to know when trying to de-code these things.

Tags are read from the bottom line UP. If you read the other examples on here you will see what I mean.

[Jack T (Jackt)]

I'll bet it has a painted roof as well, since I don't see a roof code in that string - Glenn, even a repeated code means something different each time because of its location.

[Glenn Jackson (Henner)]

the title says its a 71 the title matches the fender, dash, rad support and engine numbers now I am scared because dave says its a 72 to 74 car. yes it does have a painted roof. ok here we go

yes v7x sorry I messed up on the first message thank-you guys so much I am glad I found this site

[Dave-R (Roppa440)]

My mistake. It must have been 71 they started using the 'U' code. I can never remember any of this stuff of the top of my head so I don't understand why I try?

GY3 is the paint alright. It had a painted roof too which is why that code is on twice. Aerodynamic spoiler package too. Nice.

I don't know what that A46 was though. I have not seen that on a Challenger before that I can remember (yeah like I would be able to remember!).

[Hans (72challenger)]

The A46 is the molding group however I do not know which moldings they included in that group. Maybe the wide hood molding as they didn't have a code apart for this option as far as I'm aware?

[Dave-R (Roppa440)]

Sorry! I just don't have time at the moment! Looks at a glance that you got it right Christer. I will come back to it when i have time.

[Glenn Jackson (Henner)]

here is a web site I found not to long ago this might help some folks hopefully. That is if you want to look up your own vin codes.
http://ozmopars.50megs.com/mopar_option_ codes_worldwide.htm

[Todd Hall (Insuranceguy)]

Thanks Christer!

Todd

[Jack T (Jackt)]

Todd - would you check that N93 again? It's not listed as an option code for the 1974 model year. Also, I have a new 72-74 book so I am once again able to answer questions about those years accurately.

[Todd Hall (Insuranceguy)]

I'll check this afternoon (currently 10:22 am my time, and my job is getting in the way of what's really important..)

Todd

[Todd Hall (Insuranceguy)]

Jack,

I looked at the tag again, and it might be n95, there is a screw that obscures the number. I can email a photo, but I don't know how to make it 300 x 300 or smaller.

[Jack T (Jackt)]

N95 would be an emission control system in 72, 73 and 74.

[Todd Hall (Insuranceguy)]

Thanks, Jack! My friends at summit racing shipped several large boxes to me, many of which said " non-egr". Wonder what I'll do....
