Thanks guys! Yep.... here's the tag and what all that jibberish means:
BS23: (B) Plymouth (S) Barracuda Special, 'Cuda (23) 2-Dr Hardtop H0B: (H) 340 275HP 1-4BBL 8 CYL (0) 1970 (B) Dodge Main, Hamtramck, MI, USA 326808: Sequence number E55: 340 cid 4 barrel V8 275hp D21: 4 Speed Manual Transmission FC7: In Violet Metallic Exterior Color H6X9: Trim - High, Vinyl Bucket Seats, Black 000: Full Door Panels 430: Build Date: April 30 115945: Order number FC7: In Violet Metallic Top Color C55: Bucket Seats G36: OS Dual Racing Mirrors J45: Hood Tie Down Pins M21: Roof drip rail moldings M25: Wide sill moldings M31: Belt Moldings M88: Decklid Moldings Treatment N41: Dual Exhaust N42: Chrome Exhaust Tips N96: Fresh Air Hood (Shaker) R11: Radio Solid State AM (2 Watts) Y05: Build to USA Specs 26: 26in Radiator EN1: End of Sales Codes I've got pictures of the original ad on craigslist of the car, second/ third owner info as well. Second owner bought the car to part it out but realized the rarity being a factory 340 N96 car, and started collecting parts to restore. Sold it to the next guy who sold off most of the parts he had acquired to make money, then sold the car to James. James found just about all the missing parts (including the unobtanium 340 N96 base plate) so most ofthe hard detective work is done! The car was repainted white way back in the day, so the ad shows White car. Guess In Violet wasn't a very popular color after the 70s fads faded. Cheers |

Dave . . . do not give in to the dark side and add stripes (V6X). They weren't on the car as ordered. It is a very rare car because of the N96 Shaker Hood. Without it, it's just a 340 'Cuda and Plymouth built plenty of them:

Yep, correct. No stripe. I don't like them anyway and it's one less thing for me to screw up!
Cheers Dave |

Interesting that you used "In Violet" and "faded" in the same sentence, since that's what many In Violet cars tended to do early on......and may be why your car was painted white back in the day.
