Please help me decode this tag I know gb2 is the color code but what does everything else mean?
I had found most of them but thank you some of those I still couldn’t find out about, so your saying my car was built November 10th and I’m guessing in the year 1970 as 71 production would turn into 72 production by September of 71 correctB41 is front disc brakes
V5X is black body side moldings
V1X is black vinyl roof
R13 is high powered AM radio
L31 is hood or fender turn signals
GB2 is Glacial blue metallic
G2X9 Not sure about the G but 2 is vinyl bench and X9 is black
B10 is Tuesday November 10th
E57 is 360 2bbl
D32 is 727 auto trans
2 door hardtop Chrysler.
B41 is front disc brakes

Correct.my car was built November 10th and I’m guessing in the year 1970
Almost correct -- August, not September.71 production would turn into 72 production by September of 71
That is an interesting take, and I mean this in a good way.And I take issue with this:
000: Full Door Frames
Whatever the decoders say, on our C-bodies this code only appears on hardtops that never have a frame around the door window. With other body styles, this code indicates an interior color.
As hardtops have nowhere to put that interior color, for them the slot is useless. So the meaning is
000: Upper Door Frame Color Not Applicable
And I take issue with this:

That sure calls for some rethinking! Your example is a police car. How does it look on the inside?
It won't have rear window cranks because it is a coupe not a hardtop.
The "21" in the VIN indicates it.

Ahhh,makes sense. I have had a couple 23 b bodies, and older sedans with obvious b pillars. From looking at it, I called it a hard top. I guess I assumed a couple would have more of a pillar. Dang, didnt even pay attention the 21 staring me in the face. I knew that. Thanks
It would be helpful to know if the "Upper Door Frame Color Not Applicable" is your interpretation or if you found it in some period source too?
Nice pirouette. Perhaps you can track that person and find out where he got that info?The broadcast sheet in the previous post could serve as the period source you were asking about. Why on earth would ChryCo put information on door panels in the slot for the Upper Door Frame Color?
Come to think of it, it is the person who first circulated the meaning "Full Door Panels" that needs to explain himself.
I have only been at the convertible thing for a little bit but have seen a similar thing on the tags
On the 69 tags there are paint codes for the body, the roof and the interior (not sure what gets this paint).
Here is my tag, it has both the body code and the roof code, typical of most cars painted one color.

Then there is Martin's tag, it only has the body code

I agree that the 000 is probably a null code for the interior paint as that is the position of the code on the tag and interior paint wasn't needed.
