1970 & 1971 Dart GT VIN, fender tag, & build sheet Decode Info

Page Updated: 08-28-2005

NEW ! Part Number reference page! Click HERE

This page is here primarily for all owners of 1970 & 1971 Dart GT's.

All of the VIN, fender tag, & build sheet Decoding Info will relate to these cars only!

I will list all VIN, fender tag, & build sheet options as I receive them from members.

Please note: Not all of your cars options will be on the fender tag,

A lot more can be listed on the build sheet!

This is why it is so important for all of you to send in copies of your build sheets!

And we must have rubbings or photos of your fender tags to keep this Registry legit.

For all other VIN, fender tag, & build sheet decoding... Please go to "The Dart Files" page

And then go to The "Technical Minded Tab" of your choice.

First of all, fender tags are read from the bottom up.

For our example we will use Melanie Budbill's 1970 Dodge Dart GT:
