A third one that I had owned and sold a while back was also issued an L023 title. The DMV said that the "O" was not recognized in their system as a Dodge Price Class for 1966.
The Chrysler documentation from back in 1966 doesn't really specify it as LO or L0. I think it depends on what typewriter the documents were typed on whither it was an O or a 0. I believe the intent was an "O".
Just looked at my Hagerty insurance. One's LO23 and one's L023. Guess I'll have to call and have that corrected.

See, that's what I've been saying I believe to be true, but you're the first person on this forum who agrees that it might just be a zero. I agree that the Chrysler classification system designates it an "O" for Super Stock, but unfortunately they didn't check with the DMV who won't use "O" in a VIN (as I mentioned above). Sooo, my thought is that the MSO and fender tag might read LO23, but the VIN would actually be L023.
The question might really be, should the title reflect the actual VIN, or the MSO/fender tag? Maybe it doesn't really matter, but I posed the question here in hopes of finding somebody with an ORIGINAL title to their "LO23" Dart. And here you are saying that THREE of yours (granted, '66 Darts, but assume it would be same situation) were issued L023 titles. So, my thanks to you for chiming in. I'm afraid to call the gal I've been working with at the State DMV again; she is already getting fed up with this car. At this point, I will just take the title she sends me, whether it is with a "0" or a "O".
