Fender Data Plate Help

So, after decoding, the following questions:

Under TRM R=9 which says special order or leather. Was leather an option in the Newport this year?

Also, second row Q2 says "astrophonic delux am", what's this "astrophonic"?

Is there any place that sells a replica MSRP if I give the VIN number?

"Astrophonic" is a Dodge term. In a Chrysler, sales code 442 (Q/2 on the tag) is Golden tone A/M or the five button radio with tone control.

Is there any place that sells a replica MSRP if I give the VIN number? Lots of vendors sell, generally poor, reproductions of window stickers. They do not have access to the Chrysler data base to reproduce your sticker from a VIN. You might try Chrysler Historical to see if they have a copy of your IBM Card. That would help answer some questions as to how the car was equipped and where it was shipped. (IBM cards are also another lengthy topic)
