    For simplicity lets take the Vin First some ot this info will be repeated on the metal fender tag anyway...

    1st digit B = Barracuda (A -Body)

    2nd digit H = High Price Class

    3rd & 4th 23 = 2 dr hard top...

    5th digit H - 383 1-4BBL 8 Cylinder "B" engine (High Performance)

    6th digit 8 is the year verifier 1968 model

    7th digit B - Hamtramck, Michigan this is plant where that carwas manufactured this is also considered to be Chryslers main plant...

    Remaining numbers of the VIN are strictly the sequence # of what # your car was to roll off the assembly line...

    here is a sample of some of the info you seek here...

    I'll try to walk you thry it... Year ones link show a sample of the 1967-1968 tags...

    on your second line FYI the tag says GG! (not 661) that is the original paint color it is called

    "Forest Green Poly") poly means its a metallic and so this is a dark green metallic... auto color library show a exaple of the color here...

    the 062 on 1str line from bottom verifies engine as

    062 383-4bbl-hp

    005 = 3 spd auto trans

    038 = e70x14 wsw is tires it should have came with

    A19 = ???

    double check some of your fender tag some of it not making sense compare with the Year one example

    BH23 ... 62 .. 5 .. 38 ... A19

    #62 - 383 4-bbl HP

    #5 - 3 speed auto

    # 38 - E70x14 redlines steel belt

    A19 - 10/19/1968 ( build date)

    As for the other numbers I need to know the numbers and letters they are under.

    2 line is #1-8, AX, TRM,PNT,USB

    3line is A-Z

    4 line a-x

    As for the block I will have to look it up.

    Second line

    1-9 = wide sill moldings, 2-5 = drip rail moldings, 7-8 = wheel lip moldings, AX A-4 = 3.23 ratio, X-8 = sure grip rear end, TRM T-D = Deluxe, R-6 =vinyl bucket seats, M-F = Green, PNT, P-6 = Dark Green Metallic color of roof, N-6 =Dark Green Metallic Color of the body, T-1 = Monotone paint

    UBS, U-6 = Green, .

    Third line I'm guessing here?

    D-9 = front disk brakes, F-7 = Formula S package, H-1 = power brakes, R-1 = AM radio, Y-4 = Green vinyl top, 24?

    fourth line

    a-6 = console, b-4 = bucket seats, u-1 = Built car (someone ordered it).

    That is my guess on your numbers!!! Hope that helps you.

    Nice Cuda!!!
