Vin # help

Thanks, cant remember what the 1st "B" stand for...my 69 for example
BH27P9BXXXXXX. The P was 340 if H it was 383. 9=69.
Your 1st B I think is "base"??

Very interesting. I read on another forum that the 67 and 68 trunk lip numbers did not match the vin number. They didn't start doing that till 69.
 
For 68 Only

B-Hamtramck
8-1968
B-Barracuda
A44II9-SO Number (A44119)

This will pair with the data/fender tag
Will need a broadcast sheet to connect to a VIN

If i dont have the data/fender tag am i screwed? I only have the shell/ back half no other data tags
 
I know that, he asked if he was "screwed". I'm assuming he wants to title it in his name as a 68(or 9) barracuda. I mentioned nothing about the BO cudas.

The claim of being a BO29 shell is void without documentation to connect it to a BO29 VIN.

I was of the understanding that 69 is the first year of vin body numbers plus the regular VIN tag on the dash frame. 68/ earlier only have the order numbers on the body, which must be matched via the certicard/ fender tag. If you have a 67, it would have the VIN on the driver's door frame. If you have a 68 you are screwed if you have no dash VIN and even if you had a title I know of no way to match that to the car--without the dash.

If this is a 69 the body stampings should be a partial VIN. But without a title I don't know how you'd go about it.

If you only have the back half of the car, not sure what you plan on doing with it. I presume you don't have a title for it? If you plan on building it into a car, you will need to (as 4spd said above) acquire a Vin tag (located on the dash) along with a title that matches the Vin. As stated, 1968 bodies have no Vin stamped in them anywhere.
 
Have you found any of the original paint anywhere ? All BO29s were white with black fiberglass fenders and hood .
I had an encounter with Ron McDowell once without knowing who he was … and he told me
he owned a Hemi Cuda at one time .. I asked him what year thinking he was full of **** and he said it was a 68 . Sure you did…. What color was it ? He answered White but the hood and fenders were black because they were fiberglass . I then realized he had campaigned the BO29 car Gentle Ben in 68 !
 
Even if it was a genuine BO29 shell, it is going to take more than some white paint to add value to this shell, might as well be a slant six.

It has been dipped. Also all front fiberglass was presumably destroyed. The guy I got it from said a younger gentleman in southern Arkansas crashed it and never got it back to racing shape. I don't know if the guy was from Arkansas or if the car was crashed in Arkansas
 
you mean dipped as in “stripped of paint “ ?
and when you say you only have the back half does that mean there are no fender wells or front frame rails/suspension?
