Decoding the Tag
Section Codes from Tag Description
Production Row 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 (top row letters) The numbers beneath this row are plant-specific internal sequencing, routing, or inspection marks and do not decode into specific options.
Alphabet Row A B C D E F G H J K L M N P Q R S T V W X Y Z (middle row letters) Numbers under these letters indicate specific features or options. Some known codes from a general list for this era include:
3 under C Likely related to the car's engine (e.g., specific slant-six) or safety group.
1 under D Indicates a 3-speed manual transmission.
5 under F Could be for a lower body finish panel/applique.
1 under M Could indicate power door locks or a roof rack.
1 under T Likely indicates a tachometer option.
1 under V Likely indicates back up lights.
Bottom Row SO NUMBER (Shipping Order) 10310 indicates a build date around October 31st (1=Jan, A=Oct, etc.). The following digits are a sequential order number.
BDY (Body) 6247 identifies the body style. 6 is for a 2-door sedan (Y=1), and the rest is specific to the Dodge Dart 170 model.
TRM (Trim) 711 indicates the interior trim grade and color, such as vinyl bench seats and a specific color.
PNT (Paint) 305 indicates the exterior paint color, likely a medium blue metallic or similar shade (color codes can vary between years and plants).
NNP (Paint Style) NNP likely refers to the paint style (mono, two-tone, etc.) and upper door frame color, typically a monochrome paint job in the body color.

Thanks for finding that. Similar options as mine, but his is a GT, mine is a 170.

What I was really looking for was seeing which transmission it left the factory with. When I bought it it had a Torqueflight with pushbuttons. However the brake pedal was from a manual transmission car, and when I looked under the dash I could see that someone sawed the clutch pedal off! Not sure if the car had a manual trans swap at some point, or if they just changed the pedal assembly. In any case I found a proper pedal assembly and it will have a proper auto trans brake pedal going forward.

I assume that if it was a manual the trans tunnel would have a hump in it on the driver's side for the shifter..


Also your tag says A-3 which the post says is automatic

Only 2 transmissions in 63 3 spd on the column and push button automatic and the 3 spd is the standard option and would not have a code.

What is the 4th digit of the VIN as it tells what plant it was built at?

Good point. This does not have a cutout and hump for a manual. Someone apparently just swapped the pedal assembly for some reason.
