As mentioned earlier, the tag decodes as a two-tone car. That is a painted roof from the factory, it may have been repainted but it is a factory painted roof car.I am staying with my theory of vinyl top stripped off then recently painted black.
Look how shiny the black top is compared to the scratched up faded out factory butterscotch color of the main body, suggesting the recent painting of the top.
You might take a close look at the chrome rear window trim to see if there are any auto body sand paper scratches in the chrome trim, or DA swirl scratches from where a DA sander bumped into it during paint prep work.
Under masking of the window trim with black paint running up on it is another telltail sign of a repaint.
Just my theory, have fun with the car.

The butterscotch is a pretty rare color. (Bahama yellow on a plymouth, i think still in 71). Other than a very few mid eighties dodge trucks, i think a two year only color, 69 and 71. It is an acquired taste.
My friend and i have a standing bet: will we see more butterscotch cars or a66's like hers, at spring/fall flings. She has been winning last few years..... one or two el5 at most, no real a66.
I would definitely keep the original colors on that car, but then i have a bahama yellow runner with a black hood, i may be a bit prejudiced.
Well, a trip to My MoPar .com yielded what was talked about.
Top line;
TX9 is the roof, black. The color chart just says X9. What is the “T” in the TX9? It’s also in the interior? On the second line line down, 3 over to the right.

......................... (Ahhhh! My ears!!!) ...........

Second line on the tag;

L1XX unknown/not listed
TX9 interior color - *I Think.*
C10 not listed. Your cars birthday (December 10,1970) the day it was scheduled to be built
Then 6 numbers that I have no idea about;
139196. Order number
Third line;
E24 - 225-1bbl 6cyl. 145hp (Whoa!)
D31 A-904, 3 spd
VL29 unknown. Duster coupe this is the vin
C1B unknown. Engine code, year, manufacturing plant, this is the vin
And another 6 unknown digits;
246685
Sequential number, this matches your vin
Can anyone else add to the unknown codes?
is there a place to go to decode the tag?
It’ll grow on you. I used to say the same thing.Not exactly my favorite color but it’s OK.
My wi fi is really on and off right now,( seems mostly off, lol) and my edit wouldnt post. Anyway, an A66 is a non-R/T 1970 340 challenger. Pretty rare car.
Five lines? I would like to see that tag. The Duster must be loaded.You know since you started the tag info search today, I have a 71 Duster in the wings waiting and I started decoding its tag. It has five lines of code and I found another decoder site.
Try Stock Mopar .com, and input by their instructions. I found some info that I couldn't find before. I like your two tone factory paint. Mine is a GA4 Winchester Gray with a Black vinyl top.
Good luck on your build.
Is that in the A66 registry?This is an a66 car, the R/T emblems were added because he didn’t understand what he had.

The same exact thing happened to my friend's car before she got it. Had R/T emblems and stripes added, and has been wearing them for decades. Thats why she wont show it, gets ripped by judges for stuff she didnt do.This is an a66 car, the R/T emblems were added because he didn’t understand what he had.
