Author	Topic: Paper label under hood hinge
luch POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:Newmarket Ontario Canada Registered: Nov 2007 Admin Use	posted 04-07-2008 09:38 AM Was wondering what the paper label under the hood hinge left side is? What do the numbers and words mean? How can it be removed to be saved without damage? Thank You

idive POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:Texas USA Registered: Apr 2003 Admin Use	posted 04-07-2008 11:54 AM I know for a fact that it is not a production run number for your car. I believe it is the production run number for your tub. I have words on mine but do not recall what it is at the moment and I am not home to check it. But I have, in writing, what my car's production number is, and I checked that against the number on the sticker in question, and they are not the same number. UPDATE: Here is the sticker on my car. My car's build number is 156. My VIN# is neither of these numbers. This message has been edited by idive on 04-08-2008 at 10:33 PM

Registered: Dec 2004 Admin Use	posted 04-07-2008 12:53 PM Mickey, to my knowledge, pilots and pre-production tubs counted in the sequence #, but not in "production" sequence #'s. The 2000 Silver mfg. in Oct. 99 had tub # 5506 and the 2001 Orange mfg in Nov. 2000, has tub # 7979. The 2001 Orange mfg in late Dec. 2000 had # 8378, one of last Plymouths.

Or is clear tape covering my only choice? Could this mean 11428th prowler of the 11702 total made? What does OPM72VY3AJ mean?

CJ POA Lifetime Site Supporter Prowler Junkie Personal ScrapBook From:Rochester Hills, MI USA Registered: Jul 2000 Admin Use	posted 04-07-2008 01:41 PM I posted this back in 01 in answer to a similar question. quote: To answer the tub question: The metal tag on the passenger's side is indeed the tub ID info that includes the part number and tub number. A paper tag also has the tub number on it and is located on the opposite side of the car near the hood hinge. The paper tag is just a temporary tag and will peal off and fade if it gets wet.

392HEMI POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:The Villages, Fl. Registered: Dec 2004 Admin Use	posted 04-07-2008 02:40 PM Mike, the VIN numbers were inter mixed with Viper #'s that is why you cannot get an actual sequence # from the VIN#. You will get a series of VIN's that will stay in sequence for maybe 200 or so numbers, but it appears random.
CJ POA Lifetime Site Supporter Prowler Junkie Personal ScrapBook From:Rochester Hills, MI USA Registered: Jul 2000 Admin Use	posted 04-07-2008 03:08 PM Mike......here is a link to the thread. The info I posted was given to me by the plant. http://www.prowleronline.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/003217.html Here is other info and the link to it: quote: Once, when I was visiting the plant, they had the first of the Candy Red tubs stacked up. I told one of the workers that I was having a Candy Red built and how would I know which tub was mine? I was told that the tubs were randomly picked when each car was built and there was no correlation between the tub numbers and the VIN/VON numbers. http://www.prowleronline.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/011338.html Another thread that might be helpful to you: http://www.prowleronline.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/013073.html The Vipers and Prowlers were built at the same plant. The VIN numbers were assigned randomly between the Vipers and the Prowlers. For example, they might have assigned 6 numbers to Prowler and the next 8 to Viper, etc. Since these vehicles were handbuilt, processes were different than in normal manufacturing plant. Came across this in my search also: http://www.prowleronline.com/ubb/Archives/Archive-000002/HTML/20060221-8-004300.html

The only way to get your actual build number is to call the factory and have them look up your VIN#. You won't get them to do that at this late date. They will use the last 6 digits in the VIN# to find what the build number is. For example, 501386 may be build number 497. My build number is not any part of my VIN#.

idive POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:Texas USA Registered: Apr 2003 Admin Use	posted 04-08-2008 10:21 PM I laid a couple of pics on ya in my first post up top. I edited out my address and VIN# from the letter confirming my car's build number.
Leo Prowler Junkie From:Tucson, AZ, US Registered: Mar 2004 Admin Use	posted 04-25-2008 12:28 PM Maybe we should add this type of info to the "Owners registration" information. That way, in years to come we will have a database of production information. I remember that when I restored my 63 vette 15 years ago, this type of info was inportant becasue I tried to "Make the numbers match". It may not be inportant to us now, but it could be years from now! ------------------
