When I got my Cuda in 1982 it was a stripped shell with no drivetrain. I built the car with the help of parts cars for interior and drivetrain. I would like to know what my car was supposed to be, color, stripe, options ect. I have tried to decode this, but the early fender tags are a little tougher. Thanks for any help. Craig

Thanks dartcuda, my problem is the cars floorpans trunk underhood and when I pulled the windows out in 82 to do my first restoration it looks like the cars original color was silver with a dark red stripe down the middle. also there was still trim on the top of the a pillar and the c pillar from a vinyl top. The build sheet was long gone with the interior. The number 17 that is stamped into the fender tag on the very right side is odd looking too, I am not sure what that stands for??? I have never seen another 67 with the center stripe and a vinyl top. Thanks for any help, Craig
 
thats not 17,look careful. the number 1 is under tha letter R,that means AM radio.The number 7 is under the letter T,thats means the car has a tach.

I think he is talking about what looks like a 17 on the far right of the tag (around the Z)

Even if that is a 17 on the far right is has nothing to do with options…. It is probably an inspection stamp the got accidentally on the tag in the process line….
 
I ran it again using that decoder…

Looks like the car was silver with a red stripe and red interior.
