Last post by hemigeno - Today at 06:27:13 PMPosting a pic of the tag you found online with one (or both) of those codes would be a good place to start. That will give us some context.

Last post by hemigeno - Today at 06:21:15 PMHi Bob,
I'll have to do more digging to find the answer (if it's in my paperwork anyway).
I'd be only guessing otherwise.

Did I miss the reference here?
Agree that this is a solid car with some good documentation to go with it.

I wonder what the fender tag code is for a green 727?

To us, it's a matter of what one likes and wants. The newer stuff with all the modern electronics are good for as long as those electronics have replacements available. Once that dries up, the car becomes a host for scavenging usable parts. Our 2000 Ford interceptor is a good example, still scrounging new parts. This is getting expensive. We want the car so we are willing to fork over what it takes. Like everything, there is a limit, just haven't reached it yet.

Charger Discussion / Re: Too valuable to drive?
Last post by Kern Dog - Today at 03:02:59 PMThere is a member of the forum, screen name BDF if I recall...He has a green 69 Charger with a white vinyl top. Nice guy, name of Brent.
He used to post a LOT with pictures of his car out on the road. This is a valuable car yet Brent was out driving it around, enjoying it and exposing the car to what could be new enthusiasts.
When I'm out in mine, people that have only seen the cars in movies and magazines get to see them for real. To me, that is a way of sharing the history. Yeah, I'm at risk of a total loss and that would be tragic, I'll admit. I don't live by the theme of being worried about the negative outcomes, I live in the moment and try to stay positive.
I love knowing that someone gets to go to their friends and tell them they just saw a shiny red Charger out on the road. I know that when I'm in my daily driver late models that I love to see classics out being driven. I don't care if it is even a Ford or an Import. Nowadays it is US against the electrics so I'm happy to see any classic out on the road being driven.

Last post by Kern Dog - Today at 12:50:19 PMYou have been an active member of the forum so you have my respect. I remember some of your posts and the stuff you have done. It does sadden me sometimes to see people fall into the mindset that their cars are too valuable to drive.
Some might be but it is sad to me because for me, driving them is where their value is.

Car Guys Discussion / Re: Have you realized… ?
Last post by b5blue - Today at 11:05:31 AMI agree, just as the value depends on the "feelings" of the buyer. My 70 Charger was made when I was 15 and when I bought it I was 40. While rough after years of drag racing enough was there to put it in service. Many cars are not really serviceable long term without parts. Parts that fail tend to fail for all of the same type so used parts are all failed for repair use. (Our Chargers are rather simple still.)

Last post by lloyd3 - Today at 10:47:39 AMKD: I'm making myself sound more-civilized than I am in truth. When I get exercised about something (or if I'm just feeling a bit cocky) I have been known to pulverize the occasional Prius and even do smokey burnouts and hard-launches just to smell the tire smoke and remember my roots. The bald back tires on my car are a testament to my weakness in that regard.
It sounds like there is a shortage of mothers here.
