Hi all. New member here from Maine. I recently purchased a 70 Dart Swinger 340. 4 speed car in very nice shape. I’ve been working on decoding the fender tag ( with lots of help researching posts here) and have a particular option code that I can’t locate. It is B10. Doesn’t seem to show up with any identification, but it’s very clear on the tag. Car has the bench seat and rallye dash , if that helps. I see that B11 is for front disc and 11 inch rear drums. Maybe brake related?? All other codes make sense and tie to the car. Appreciate any help you can offer. It’s a Windsor car, USA spec also. Thanks!
 
It's not an option code I don't think. It's the build Date.....Maybe September 10th of 1969

Post a picture of it
 
The build date, ok.
But why did Chrysler use sometimes a letter, and sometimes a number..?
Here it's B10, and on my fender tag it's 919 for Sept.19th
 
Thanks all. That makes sense as the door sticker shows build date of Nov 1969. Code refines to Nov 10, 1969. Now the car has an official birthday! Good excuse to pull out the parts catalog. Thanks again

Soon. I’m in Florida for another month but will get photos upon return. Glad to be in a Mopar again. Had a 69 Barracuda 225 six in high school. Nice car despite the missing cylinders. It’s been a long, long time between Mopars!
 
Thanks guys. I can see that this forum will be a great resource. A respray by a prior owner ( high quality) added the traverse stripe in black but also painted the hood the body color. I like the look as is, though the performance hood is a great look as well. Easy to get back to that if desired. Thanks!
