Fender Tag Decoder?

This is one of my go-to favorites - Mopar VIN Decoder
You can either start by decoding the VIN at the page you should land at, or, look to the upper right and you will see the link to the fender tag decoder.
I hope this helps.

You can also try dodgecharger.org they have a page for 67 tags.
You'll notice it can throw multiple codes or incorrect codes. Online decoders are hot or miss, but generally can get you close. With you having the broadcast sheet, you can verify which codes are accurate.

Never mind. . . I thought had a decoder for you, but it was hinky.

MODEL YEAR: 1967
BUILD DATE: June 21.
AXLE: Unknown Axle Code
INTERIOR: Black Interior.
PAINT: Light Green Metallic (Dodge, Plymouth), Mint Green Metallic (Chrysler), Haze Green Metallic (Imperial).
OTHER:
MOLDINGS:

Power vent windows?
I'd like to see what those switches look like, and where on the door are they mounted.
No A/C, no power seat, no tilt steering.
But tires are 8.55, not 8.25. I thought they went with the wider tire when you had a BIG engine with A/C.

OK, so here goes.
From the bottom up, left to right.
CL23 is the car line and body style - C - Chrysler; L is the price class - Low; 23 is for two-door hardtop
61 is the engine - 383 2 barrel, 270hp
5 is the transmission - Torqueflite Auto
635 is the tires - 7.35X14
621 is the scheduled production date - June 21, 1967
13119 is the shipping order
The “1” under the upper case “A” is axle - 2.76 ratio
”TRM” is the trim - L - Low; R - Bench Seat (cloth and vinyl); M - Black
”PNT” is paint - FF1 - Light Green Metallic (I am not certain, but I believe the second “F” would be for the lower paint if it was ordered with a painted roof (this is true for my 64 Polara which has a white painted top and an Anniversary Gold bottom)
The “8” and “9” under K and L should correspond to power items - 8 - Power Windows and 9 - Power Vent Windows
The “R” is for Radio - 2 - Astrophonic Deluxe AM Radio (5.5 watts)
The “2” under ”X” should be the glass - tinted windshield only
The “6” under “Y” should be top/roof - Black Vinyl Roof
The “6” under “d” should be rear options - deleted heater
The “6” under “g” should be Mouldings - bumper reveal
The “7” under “h” should be lights - hood mounted turn indicator
The “1” under “u“ should be Vehicle Sales and Delivery - sold car/expedite (I assume this mean order, not bought off the lot)
Now my caveat, I used the ninth edition of Galen Govier’s code book, so, there may have been some update I am not aware of. A shameless plug for his books - all are very good reference books.
Out of curiosity, I would like to know if everything seems to match what you have/can see on your car.
I hope this helps
Thanks Clayboy and Ripinator. Great detective work! Everything you guys posted jives with the car except one thing:
the driver's outside mirror isn't remotely operated. Otherwise everything else is spot-on.
One oddity not mentioned is that this car has dual exhausts. Would there be a code for that? The car was re-painted in red at some point by the original owner I believe. It was a thorough job, very well done, but the 2nd owner stored the car outside on the street, which took it's toll on the paint. Still, it's presentable.

Really? A full-size Chrysler C body would have come with 7.35 x 14 tires?
You have passenger side view mirror - was that standard? If not, no tag code for that?
Clayboy's decode does not show remote operated driver side mirror, which you don't have (but you have cover trim for it, which is strange) so there's no discrepency there. Can't quite tell if your windshield has upper tinting, sort of looks like it doesn't.
Dual exhaust was probably standard for a 383 - yes?
I would love to find a pair of vent motors and the switch. Very nice.

very nice car. I am sure you can locate the correct remote mirror. My 67 has one, and looking at your door panel, I see the hole for the remote cable is plugged. When the car was repainted (changed), did they paint everything, including inside trunk and engine compartment ?
