I bought a 68 Charger parts car and it has a 69 383 in it with a stamping on the pad just above the oil pan that reads XP29?9G181853. The missing character would have to be a G or H. Does anyone have any records of a Charger with that VIN?

I cleaned it up some more and I think I can barely make out a "G"????

Holy crap is that ever close to my car.  As for G or H , is there any original paint on it?

    Edit_ Maybe not so close. Is it possible to have the same sequence number at each assembly plant?

Yes. It is possible to have the same VIN from two different plants with the only difference being the plant code.

XP29H9GXXXXXX

AND

XP29H9BXXXXXX

is possible.

Have to check.  You're only half a state away. Unlikely, but possible

The car ins't in the 69 Registry.  Was it a stock intake on it or aftermarket?

Take a picture of the ID pad in front of the passenger side head & post it, that may help.

That is not on the front, that is the VIN pad on the side.

Look on the front below the passenger side head. (behind the alternator)  :scope:
