Reference Details
- Common issue
- A non-Hemi VIN or mismatched body/engine/year code paired with Road Runner or Hemi badges and later drivetrain parts.
- Confidence
- reported
- Correct value
- VIN evidence should decode to the Plymouth Satellite/Sebring car line, two-door hardtop body type, fifth-digit R 426 two-four-barrel Hemi engine, 1971 model year, assembly plant, and six-digit sequence; Road Runner and car-specific option identity still require tag, broadcast-sheet, or invoice agreement.
- Where to check
- Lower-left windshield VIN plate, then cross-check against fender tag, broadcast sheet, invoice, and body/drivetrain stampings.
