Hey everyone, I was on ebay motors not long ago and I was looking at a '73 challenger. The owner had a pic of the car that showed 2 fender tags, one was perfectly normal but the other said "special handling" on it and the owner said it was refferred to as an "h code" car. I was considering purchasing the car and I was wondering if anyone has any idea what "special handling" means? Hopefully this is not some dumb question that I should know the answer to. Any tips on this would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

what are all the # on the tag and i can tell you exactly what it is

 

The "H" code refers to the motor being a 340. The "Special Handling" could mean it's a ralley 340, I don't recall f the Ralley was classed as special handling. The numbers off the fender tags would provide much more info.

 

sorry guys, but I can't find the car on ebay any more, some 1 must have bought it I do know that it was a numbers matching 340 4 barrel, according to the owner. It was a yellow 4 spd rally car with a rear spoiler that he said was stock. Thanks guys

 

Special Handling mean just what it says...Special Handling. Most executive leases were special handling, Show cars were special handling. Some cars were flagged for special handling because of overly critical dealers. System try out vehicles were special handling. Police and Taxi units were special handling. Most special handling cars went to a section of the plant after they were built and this section was called "New Car Service". The cars were looked at very closely and prepped prior to shipping.

Bottom line is special handling meant just that. They were to be looked at a little bit closer during the build process and after they were built.

 

thanks 65Satellite, I figured someone would know.

 

the car I was asking about has been relisted on ebay. the fender tag reads:
V21 26 EN2
N41 N42 N48 R11 V6X
G36 J54 J82 MOB M21 M26
V1X U A57 B41 C16 C56
FY1 A6X9 000 123 235175
E55 D21 JH23 H3B 333011
and of course the other one says special handling like I mentioned. Thanks again
