Best Answer

The 1st letter in the VIN is the car model ("W" for Dodge Coronet and "X" for Dodge Charger), the 2nd letter is the price class ("M" for medium-class line, "S" for sports line), the 3rd & 4th numbers are the body type ("21" for 2-door coupe, and "23" for 2-door hardtop), the 5th letter is the engine type ("H" is 383 cid, "L" is 440 cid, and "J" is the 426 Hemi), the 6th number is the model year ("8" is 1968), the 7th letter is the assembly plant ("E" is Los Angeles, "G" is St. Louis, etc.), the 8th thru 13th numbers are the vehicle sequence number off the line at that factory ("123456" would be the 23,455th vehicle, as the numbers always started at 100001).

Example: WS23J8G123456 Hope this helps you out.
