Re: Original hemi dart information

This is on the 1966 LO23's..
I would just settle for the L023 VIN on the title. Everyone in the Chrysler community knows that the second position in the VIN is the Price Class and that if it is an O or 0, it is a Super Stock car.

According to Chrysler Historical's decoding of my IBM card, "the digit, O, was not an option for the 1966 VIN". Thus my IBM card read LP23D62653XXX. I had to send them my documentation on the D/Dart program to get them to acknowledge the VIN as being LO23. The build sheet lists the car as being an LO23. The fender tag says it's an LP23.

Good luck!!!!!!!!

Re: Original hemi dart information

In nys in a vin sequence a letter o is not recognized it is always defaulted to number 0. I've tried to manually enter a letter o instead of number 0 when doing an inspection to see what happens and it gives an error message vin not correct.

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.

Re: Original hemi dart information

Comparing that second digit with the zeros shown elsewhere on the MSO, I would say that is an LO, not L0. Does everybody agree? Thanks for posting that MSO!

I look and see a difference in the type set. What is printed is a round zero for an "oh" and what it typed is an oval shape for both zero and "oh".

Well , if you compare at the top the dealer number 55024 to the LO 23 right next to it they are not the same. Actually they are opposite of the type my phone is printing. A rounder O in the dealer number and a more oval 0 in the L0 23. Confused yet?

Re: Original hemi dart information

The LO23 looks to me like the same O used below in "DODGE TWO DOOR HARDTOP".

I am back to thinking that it is a letter "O" in LO23, at least as far as the MSO is concerned. As for what got stamped on the VIN, still looks like a zero to me, and that makes sense if the DMV has a policy of not using the letter "O" on a VIN plate.

But...... If you look below that at the spelling of Corporation all the O's are full circle!
So regardless of the type set , was the intent to be a " oh" or a " zero"?
I agree with most that think it is intended to be an "oh".

Yes, but CORPORATION is part of the pre-printed portion of the document, not the part that gets typed in specifically for each vehicle, and would be expected to be a different type-set... my thought on it, anyway.
