a5 = buddy seat or folding arm rest (Mother-in-Law seat also) a6 = center console (if you have no number under the “a”, then you got no console or center seat, kinda rare to have no option here) b4 = front bucket seats g0 = chrome belt line mouldings (all 67 Chargers will have this code) h7 = fender mounted turn indicators (all 67 Chargers will have this code) j4 = body sill moulding (all 67 Chargers will have this code) k7 = passenger side door mirror (manual) u1 = sold car (someone ordered this car) w6 = built for Canada order or New car with 5 gallons of gas Second Row (all capital letters) A1 = 26” radiator core width D9 = front disc brakes (power brakes mandatory, but I have seen cars without power brakes & have disc’s) E1 = clean air package M2 = This is not an "option" on the car, it stands for the car was made on assembly line #2 at the factory. There were 2 assembly lines for the 67 Chargers & Coronets and if your car was assembled on "line #2", it was coded this way. R1 = 2 watt AM radio R2 = 5.5 watt Astrophonic deluxe AM radio S1 = factory installed A/C with heater (if car has “add-on” A/C, there will be no number under the “S”) T4 = console mounted vacuum gauge T7 = tachometer (not sure why this code, all 67’s had tachometers) X1 = all tinted glass (not all cars have this on the tag but have tinted glass) X2 = tinted windshield only Y6 = black vinyl top Y7 = white vinyl top Y9 = special order color top Third Row (numbers 1 thru 8) There should not be anything under these numbers in 67, if somebody has codes for these, I would like to know. “AX” is for rear axle ratio. We will deal with the “A” first..... A1 = 2.76 to 1 ratio A2 = 2.94 to 1 ratio A4 = 3.23 to 1 ratio A6 = 3.54 to 1 ratio (dana rear end only) A6 = 3.55 to 1 ratio A7 = 3.91 to 1 ratio A9 = special order ratio X8 = sure-grip rear axle (if no code under the “X”, then it’s an open style rear end, or non-sure grip) “TRM” This is the interior style & color. There will be numbers & letters under all 3. The “S” under the “T” stands for “Sport Interior”, The “6” under the “R” stands for premium grade vinyl on the bucket seats. All 67’s should start with “S6?” so we will concentrate on the letter under the “M” which is the color of the interior. A= gray & black B= blue C= white & blue E= black & gold K= copper M= copper & black P= white & turquoise Q= turquoise R= red T= tan V= white & red W= white & black X= black Y= gold “PNT” is the outside color of the car. All 3 letters & numbers are read together. AA1 = silver metallic BB1 = black CC1 = medium blue metallic DD1 = medium/light blue metallic EE1 = dark blue metallic FF1 = light green metallic GG1 = dark green metallic HH1 = dark copper metallic JJ1 = chestnut metallic KK1 = medium turquoise metallic LL1 = dark turquoise metallic MM1 = turbine bronze metallic PP1 = bright red metallic QQ1 = dark red metallic RR1 = yellow TT1 = medium copper metallic WW1 = white XX1 = light tan YY1 = medium tan metallic ZZ1 = gold metallic 661 = mauve metallic 881 = bright blue metallic “UBS” codes are for the upper door frame paint, buffed paint (code AA1 only), and for the exterior stripe color. The upper door frame paint is usually the color of the exterior or interior. Under the letter “U” will be: B = black C = light blue D = medium blue E = dark blue G = green H = tan K = beige L = dark turquoise Q = dark red S = pewter T = medium copper W = white Y = medium gold Z = gold The middle letter in the “UBS” code is the letter “B” The only time you should see a number under this letter is if you have the paint code of “AA1” (silver). If you have this color paint, then you should have the number “8” under the letter “B”. Otherwise there should be no code there. The last letter “S” is for the roof stripe. Under the letter “S” will be: W = white stripe B = black stripe C = blue stripe H = red stripe 8 = stripe delete Now for the very bottom row...... All 67 Chargers will have “XP29” in the lower left..... The next 2 digits will be engine size: 41 = 318 2bbl 61 = 383 2bbl 62 = 383 4bbl 73 = 426 Hemi 83 = 440 4bbl The next number tells you the transmission type: 1 = 3spd manual column shift 3 = 4spd floor shift 5 = automatic The next 3 numbers will be tire size....the first 2 are read together, and the 3rd is by itself. 41 = 7.75 x 14” blackwall 31 = 7.35 x 14” blackwall 33 = 7.35 x 14” whitewall 43 = 7.75 x 14” whitewall 47 = 7.75 x 14” blackwall 48 = 7.75 x 14” red wall The next single digit will more then likely be the number “5”.....this means that all the tire sizes above will also mean the spare tire is the same size. If no single digit here, you got no spare. The next 3 digits tell us the “birthday” of the car. The first of the 3 is the month....A = October, B = November, C = December, if there is a number for the first digit, than that is the month, 1 = January, 2 = February, etc..... the second 2 tell us the day of the month the car was scheduled to be completed. So A11 would be October 11th, and 502 would be May 2nd. The last 5 are the “shipping order numbers” ....they mean nothing as to what the car has for options. All 67’s had 4-way flashers. You could get the automatic shifter on the column or the floor. If you have the buddy seat, then auto shifter was on the column. You could get a 4spd car without a console or the buddy seat. You could have power brakes and no code listed on the tag. |
