Fender Tag - code listed twice. • The Dodge Challenger Message Board

I'm about to purchase a '70 R/T Challenger, and noticed that a code on the fender tag is listed twice.

The paint code FE5 (Bright Red - the car has been repainted, obviously) is listed twice. Once for the exterior paint code. Anybody have any idea what the 2nd 1 is for? I thought it might be for vinyl roof colour or something, but I'm unsure.

I ran the tag through the decoder from StockMopar, but that particular code in that place came back with this: The provided code/year combo is currently undocumented.

Car is Hamtramck built.

Also, anybody have an idea on what the "15" stamped in the top right corner of the tag has to do with?

Answered on another forum.

Upper code is for the upper body colour (painted, vinyl or convertible).
Lower code is for the lower body colour.

"15" is an inspectors stamp.

Thanks Alaskan_TA! :thumbsup:

haha ... I checked that thread, but for some reason I either didn't scroll down far enough, or scrolled too fast, and completely missed that 1 image.

:hmmm:

Yeah I thought so. :wink:

As you now know, that place is for the roof type code. Most Challengers would come with a vinyl top code there. The ones without the vinyl top in most cases would come with the paint code the same as the body. In some rare cases you might get a different paint code there when they roof was painted a different colour to the body. In these cases the same polished steel trim used on the vinyl top cars was used to cover the edges of the two paint colours.

These two tone cars are VERY rare though.
