Well, it's a fusey, so it's no older than '69. With those particular taillights, I'm thinking no newer than '71. I can't see the front fenders well enough from this angle to tell if the side markers are the '69-only reflectors or the '70 and later lights. The VIN would tell you for sure. Let's say this one is CM45G9DXXXXXX. 1: Car line (This would be C) 2: Price class (I'm gonna guess M for this one--Chrysler price classes are different from Dodge and Plymouth) 3: Number of doors (4) 4: Body style (5 or 6 for a wagon) 5: Engine (let's say it's a 69 with a 383-2, which would be G) 6: Model year (9 for a '69, 0 for a '70, 1 for a '71 and so on) 7: Assembly plant (it'll be a letter) 8-13: Sequence number
And if you already knew all this, I just wasted a bunch of time... <span class='smallblacktext'>[ Edited Sun Nov 06 2005, 10:08AM ]</span>

but thank you for wasting your time . what I really want to know is if it's a 69 cause I need a 69 specific part which may come on wagons also. I'll be going back next week to chech, but just thought I'd ask. Thanks Bert
lemme's see the grill. I owned a 69 T & C Looking at the wood grain though, I say it's a 69 in the color combo. Exactly like what I had <span class='smallblacktext'>[ Edited Sun Nov 06 2005, 05:11PM ]</span>
You can always look on the tail lights and see what year they're date coded for. Usually a "D", "P", or "C", with a two-digit year before or after it. I think it's usually in the "69P" format for a 69, but I don't have my lenses sitting in front of me.
