The T is 440 350 horse
Pretty sure that is B51, not 851, which is power brakes

Correct on both counts. B51 all-way power drum brakes, and in 1970 T effectively repeats the info from E85.
PS: V3W (not V9W) is white vinyl soft top. Perfect color combo!

M6XW is a predominantly white vinyl bucket seat interior with black instrument panel, black steering wheel and black carpet.
On convertibles, only a single rear seat speaker was available.

So this car is supposed to have black seats but white door panels? All the seats in the car are white and all the interior panels are white.

Ok this makes sense. This exactly as the car is.

Here's my 70 vert.
PM27G0D203850 is a new one to me, thank you for posting! SBD was Feb. 16, 1970. Citron metallic with black top and interior, that is a sharp combo! I like the photos you posted back in 2014, if you have any update we'd all love to see them.
It would be great if you could post more about the car's history. Cheers!

Bought at auction. Original owner passed and left his entire estate to Easter seals. He had 3 cars. Somebody wanted one of the others. Easter seals made him buy the whole estate for that car. He auctioned everything else off. I bought it to flip it. But fell in love with it. That was 2014.
We retired in 2020. So last three years I went thru it all. Rebuilt the 318, 904 with shift kit and 8.75 axle. All new carrier bearings with green axle bearings. Whole new front suspension, motor/tranny mounts. disc brake upgrade, new fuel tank, fuel lines and brake lines. New master cylinder and proportioning valve. New carb and intake (4 barrel), power master alt.and starter. Electronic ignition upgrade. Headers and dual exhaust. Every part that came off was bead blasted and repainted. I wire brushed the underneath and repainted it.
First drive was to a car show 50 miles away. That first drive is always fun and nerve racking all at the same time. She made it there and back with no problems. Had to rejet the carb a few times along with a power valve over the last month. But finally got her dialed in.
Next project is a 76 Power wagon from Oklahoma. 400 4 speed.
I'm living the dream.

Good evening, sorry for being late to the party (I was busy doing a bunch of nothing today). Here is a pic of ours and a couple of pic's of the engine bay. We have been cleaning it up but it has been a long slow slog.

Thanks. Good looking car. Do you know any history on the car? Is their a broadcast sheet or window sticker available?
Thank you for posting about CM27T0C106747 — great to see a current photo of the tag (here is the tag in a prior incarnation, when it was painted black).
Early car with an SBD of August 26, 1969.

Good evening, I do have a few minor things on the cars history (so far). It looks that from 1973 till 1997 it lived in southern Calif. after that it lived in the Pacific north west. Portland area and was owned by an older couple that were early 1970's Mopar fans until 2022. I haven't looked into the cars first 3 years yet but will do that soon. If anyone knows of a way to track the cars first 3 years, Please let me know. The condition of the car seems to back that up as it is rust free and had a California emissions engine fuel/timing upgrade info data decal dated 3/10/73 under the hood (which we were able to save) and Calif. emissions pass decals on the lower right side of the windshield. It still has Oregon plates on it with the renewal stickers dating from 1997 to 2023. I do have some doc's for it but I don't think they will help much. I'll update if I find anything new. Thanks!!

You had to remind me of how bad it looked? It was pretty bad but is getting better (slowly). Soon hopefully the under hood stuff will be done and the trunk will be finished. BUT on the bright side I have found that the car is numbers matching!! I never would of thought that but it is. Thanks

I remember the new models always showed up on the dealership floor in September of the prior year, so an August build date would fit that scenario.

CM27T0C114682 is currently for sale in Ohio. Thanks to @67newport for the tag!
DR8 originally, now red. Well equipped. The first owner seems to have been Ms. Theresa Johnson from Springfield, Massachusetts.

And... that would be? Not all of us speak code; I know I don't. DR8 is???
