Interesting build sheet. 1970 codes on a 1969 format. Looks like they wanted to burn up the paper from 1969. I have an A06 dated build sheet in the same format, so not uncommon.

This is an interesting car. Keep digging. Can you post the body numbers? Are the engine and transmission numbers matching? What size radiator does it have? What is the EAD (Engine Assembly Date) under the F440 stamp?

You have a very interesting car with a colorful history. There are several clues that will reveal what you have.

What do the upper rear corners of the door windows look like? Especially the drivers door with the VIN sticker. We will figure this out with you. Regardless of this mystery, you have a nice car.

Yes, stay safe. We are living in crazy times.

After viewing everything you’ve posted I think the factory just messed up and stamped and wrote everything rm23 even though the car is clearly a factory rm21 car. Document all this in it’s rough dirty form as you discover everything so it is believable down the road if you ever restore and or sell the car.

Chrysler has made many a mistake transposing numbers and doing things like this, although this one is a first for me.

I agree, the posts are factory installed. Like Roadtrip says, photo document everything. Post the other VIN numbers and photos requested as you get them. A K frame date code will help too.

Good luck with your quest!

AZ Desert,
Center front give or take. It will be a funny number because it is on the 10,000 day calendar if memory serves me right

It will be facing forward on the K frame right above the support to the bottom of the yoke under the radiator. It will be in a Julian calendar format so it will be XXXX X. The first 3 are the day of the year, the fourth the year and the fifth digit the shift.

So, for example, 1639 2 is the 163rd day of 1969, 2nd shift.
