What year is your Mopar? I have the book for 1969-1971. Let me know.

Based on the VIN (WP29N1E127812) that is on the fender tag, it is a 1971 Charger 500 383 4bbl built in Los Angeles.

Here is what I am able to come up with. You should recheck the fender tag, as some of what you posted is not correct.

Y14 = Sold Car
26 = 26" Radiator
N41 = Dual Exhaust
N97 = Noise Reduction Package
P31 = Power Windows
R35 = AM/FM Stereo
V78 = Accent Stripe/Colored
H51 = Air Conditioning with Heater
J52 = Hood Release
L31 = Fender Mounted Turn Signals
L37 = Concealed Headlamps
M21 = Drip Through Moldings
M31 = Belt Moldings
V4W = Canopy Vinyl Roof, white(or Body side stripe)
U?? = Tire code
A35 = Trailer Towing Package (not so sure about this on a Charger)
B51 = Power Assist Brakes
G31 = RH outside mirror
G33 = LH outside remote mirror
GB5 = Bright Blue or True Blue Metallic Paint
D3B5 = (P3B5?) P=Premium 3=Vinyl Split Bench Seat B5=Blue
GB7 = ??? (GB7 is a paint code, this position should most likely be 000 for Full Door Panels)
C03 = Production date Thursday December 3, 1970
109237 = Vehicle Order Number
E65 = 383 4bbl
D52 = 2.94:1 Rear Axle Ratio
WP29 = W=Charger P=Premium 29=Two Door Sports Hardtop
N1E = N=383 4bbl 1=1971 E=Los Angeles
127812 = Assembly plant sequential number

thanks. ehostler, but now iam wondering why the car has se emblems on it and all the extra chrome trim. have you got any ideas about this . is there a code for an se package or maybe some one added this to the car since i ve only owned it for 2 years and bought it here in fla. thanks again for the help. by the way it does have a tow bar on it. looks like it could be a factory type.

Does this car really have a towing package?? If it doesn't, look closer at the A35 code, as it may not be A35. The A series codes are package options.

Was there anything after the U code??

Also, take a closer look at the D52 code. That axle ratio doesn't seem right for that engine.

V78 is delete accent stripe. V4W is a white canopy vinyl roof. U is US made. A35 was optional on Chargers with 318 and 383 only.
GB7 is the color of the upper door frame above the door panel. D52 is correct.
WP29 is a Charger SE. WP23 is the 500 or R/T.
