my bad: My SPD 717 car is a 2dr HT, not a vert.
Highest sequnece VIN I have for verts is this one:

As I wrote before, these pop up for sale in Finland once in a while:

Sorry, no fender tag. It is 220 miles away, and there is snow & ice on the way up there.

Thanks to @Michele 300 Mopar we know of another 300 'vert that he owns in Italy. CM27T0C129043 was originally FT6 and is now painted white. Nicely loaded car, SBD of Sept. 23, 1969.

More info is here. We would love to hear more from Michele about the car's history, especially given the German-language VIN tag.

Thanks to @straightjob we also now have CM27T0C142447 -- and ER6 Scorch Red 300 'vert with an SBD of October 13, 1969 that he recently acquired from Mesa, AZ. Nice set of options!

Just might be one of those Swiss imports from back in the day. As you know, a company called AMAG AG imported Mopars to Switzerland from the ’50’s to late ’70’s. They even had an assembly line for the A, B and E-bodies. In late ’50’s they assembled the precursors of the C-bodies, too.

Actually, it is not -- my bad. ER6 in 1970 was indeed called Scorch Red at Plymouth, but Crimson at Chrysler. See here:

the AMAG plant assembled Plymouth Forwardlookers. Later on A-bodies.
No B- & E-bodies were ever assembled in Schinznach at the AMAG plant.
Those got assembled in the Netherlands (De Nekaaf, Rotterdam).
That doesn't mean they wouldn't have gotten an AMAG tag if the cars were sold in switzerland.

This tag of the 300 is held in german but has no AMAG identifications.
The german TÜV requires a similar tag. So at one point it was maybe living in germany.

The car itself, CM27t0c129043, original FT6 now white was buillt for the US market.
The VON has no identification for export shipping (VON starting with an "E"). No "B" or "C" for Canada either.

Thank you for clarification, @fc7_plumcrazy on the AMAG product offerings. BTW, do you know who imported Chryslers to Germany back in the day? Somebody must have done that, as they (at least New Yorker and Imperial) showed up in the Auto Motor und Sport magazine price lists, IIRC in the spring, at the same time with the Geneva Show.

they were not imported offically. Chrysler Corp didn't sell here cars after WWII till 1988 when they returned.
Only a few big independed car dealers offered some cars. It was just grey market.
Known dealers were in Hamburg, Frankfurt, Berlin and Düsseldorf in example. The amount of sold cars is not known but over all type of models there will be just a few.
Today I know of roughly ten old Mopars from the 60s/early 70s that sold brandnew in germany.

The german manufacturers for luxury cars didn't give Chrysler the idear it might be a worthwhile market.
Totally different to most other european countries.
Explanation for our US/Canadian friends: Even A-bodys were big for Europe back then. Due to the strong US-Dollar back in the day they were always kind of luxury, too

Thank you again, @fc7_plumcrazy. I figured they must have been independents. Perhaps Auto-Becker, and such. So the numbers must have been very low indeed. Perhaps one hand figures.

While taking a coffee break today, I happened upon a 2020 post re: PM27G0D15798? (the last digit is missing) -- does anyone recognize this G-code Fury iii 'vert? The SBD must have been Nov. 12, 1969 or the day before based on my records. It has the M4B3 blue two-tone vinyl bench interior with front venter armrest. No idea if the white paint and top are original -- from the sills, I suspect that the car has been repainted, possibly in the original EW1 color. The engine bay has definitely been repainted. I see H51 manual A/C, L31 hood-mounted signal repeaters (which suggests that the car has the A01 Light Package ). Interestingly, the car seems to have manual brakes.

The photos from the ad (from a dealer in Batesville, MS) live on ClassicCarBays:

I have not seen CE27L0C148406 mentioned anywhere, so here are some photos for records. Apparently, this 1970 Newport 'vert was located in Miami, FL at the (unknown) time she went up for sale. The engine bay has clearly been repainted, and the exterior color does not look original either (FT6 Burnt Tan metallic was AFAIK not compatible with the E2Y4 interior):

@kyle340 advertised this 1970 Newport 'vert back in May 2020. He kindly posted the tag. SBD of October 28, 1969. Here it is for records. Perhaps Kyle can update us on what happened to this EB3 Ragtop (repainted white if I see correctly; the top was originally V3W white but is now black).
