I have a 68 Dodge Coronet 440..I have 3-4 questions if any body can help me out..Now I bought the car the way it sits and the girl I got it from said she knows nothing about it that it was her dads an he is gone now.

Iam trying to figure out if my car had the stripe on the trunk out of the factory and what color was it if it did have it.






1.) UBS on tag.

• I have a B under the U
• Nothing under the B or S

Next up is "UBS" . The first one is the interior upper door frame color. It will have a letter/number under it same as the paint codes, to designate your color. The next item is to designate buffed paint, which was only for Silver Metallic. The last item here, is the stripe designator. Here are some of the codes:
Numbers are sport stripes, and letters are accent (pin) stripes. The sport stripes are tape, and the accent stripes are painted. The standard black sport stripes have been found to not be coded on the fendertag. 0 - Black Transverse (Bumble-Bee)
1/B - Black Horizontal
2/H - Red Horizontal
3/W - White Horizontal
4 - Red Transverse (Bumble-Bee)
5/C - Blue Horizontal
6/P - Green Horizontal
7 - White Transverse (Bumble-Bee)
8 - stripe deleted
9 - stripe deleted

------------------------------------------------------------------------------





Now my car has the following but the Vinyl top and iam sure it could have been removed, But do the code on my car mean it DID have it when it first come out?

1. 1 under the A = (26" radiator Diameter)
2. 1 under the R = (A.M. Radio)
3. 1 under theS = ( A/C)
4. 1 under the X = (Tint glass)
5. 6 under the Y = ( Black Vinyl top)

The next rows above, have the last digit of the sales code for optional equipment. Here are some of them: A - 1 = 26" radiator diameter
B - 3 = cruise control
D - 9 = front disc brakes
F - 0 = decor package
F - 7 = Formula S package (Barracuda)
H - 1 = power brakes
K - 8 = power windows
N - 8 = rear window defogger
P - 6 = rear seat speaker
R - 0 = AM radio with stereo 8-track tape player
R - 1 = AM radio
R - 8 = AM/FM radio
S - 1 = air conditioning
T - 7 = tachometer
X - 1 = tinted glass (all)
X - 2 = tinted windshield only
Y - 0 = green convertible top
Y - 1 = black convertible top
Y - 2 = white convertible top
Y - 4 = green vinyl top
Y - 6 = black vinyl top
Y - 7 = white vinyl top
Z - 8 = performance hood treatment (Roadrunner/GTX)

raycan2,
According to the Dodge & Plymouth Red Book your car "probably" did not have a stripe or it would be listed under the S in UBS.. Same on the Trim Tag Decoder site:
http://www.jani-immonen.net/decoders/tag6768.html which is pretty cool.
You're correct, the B under the U in UBS denotes Black upper door color which seems correct as the rest of your tag shows a black interior. What does seem odd though, is that your paint code is SS1 which denotes a Yellow car, however your inner fender appears to be White while your trim tag is Red. (tag from a different car altogether?)
I've found that not all trim tags show all options/orders so the fact that a stripe code is not on your trim tag is not definitve proof the car had no stripe. A yellow car with black interior, black vinyl roof and black stripe would be pretty sharp looking!
Good Luck,
Greg

 

The inside of the car is Yellow in the trunk and motor area...I was just wondering on the black stripe.............I did find an article on the internet that most cars did not have the code for a stripe on it. But I am planning to paint it and put on the vinyl top.

 

I think that combination will look terrific. Good Luck!
