The new guy from East York

Found this site while looking for info on identifying a Challenger. So far so good!

Besides the VIN on the dash board where else can I find a serial number? Found a '71 R/t with a 383 but it has a plain dash. I thought all R/T's came with the upgraded 4 hole dash? How do I determine if I am getting a correct R/T and not a plain jane?

Thanks
D in East York

Welcome to the site. Fender tag and driver door jam should have the vin # too.

Welcome aboard!

Not sure about the dash, someone with a lot more knowledge than I will chime in.

Thanks! I looked for a fender tag but there was none. Nothing on the doors. Would there be a number on the rad support or firewall, frame rail?

Welcome Vin sequence number should be stamped on the top or the backside of the radiator core support sometimes under the original coolant decal and on the drivers side of the top of the cowl panel alongside the screen

Welcome to the site. Here a guide to look for the cars' numbers.

A 71 R/T should have a rallye instrument cluster. If it has the standard cluster, the cluster may have been changed. The VIN should start out as JS23 for a R/T. Post pics of the car. We will be glad to let you know what the car is. Get a pic of the fender tag. That will be helpful even if the car is a R/T. We'll work with you to help you to not make a mistake.

Welcome to the site from the Motor City! I'd give my two cents but I think I'd be waisting my time as it seems these guys have it covered. You have definitely come to the right place.

You have definitely picked the right site. I learn something new all of the time. Good luck.

I would be REAL careful of a car with no VIN number!
