VL29C6G216739 vin#

Model: Plymouth Valiant / Duster
Price Class: Low
Body Type: 2 Door Sports Hardtop
Engine: Special Order 6 CYL
Model Year: 1966
Assemble Plant: St. Louis, MO, USA
Sequence Number: 216739 - 116739th Vehical Built

IS THIS CORRECT thanks for your help guys

Use the VIN decoder at http://www.maxwedge.com/ . It's more accurate.

Model: Plymouth Valiant / Duster

Yeah, sorta, but whoever put together the lookup tables in the VIN decoder you used was lazy. VL29C6 is a '66 Valiant V100 with a special-order slant-6. What does "special order" mean? Well, there aren't a lot of things it can mean in '66. Does the car have factory A/C?


(it's also fun to play with these VIN decoders and put together impossible cars. Put in VH45A9G216739 and see what you get back!)

hey dan thanks for the website this is what it said for the vin# thanks

VL29C6G216739
This vehicle is a 1966 Plymouth Valiant V-100
2-door Sports Hardtop,
Special Order 6 engine
and was the 116,739th car scheduled for production at the
St. Louis, MO assembly plant.

it has no ac thanks

Well, the only nonstandard slant-6s available in '66 were heavy- and extraheavy-duty (which went mostly in trucks, though fleets could order heavy-duty engines) and taxi-econo (with smaller/leaner carburetor and different distributor). The export 2bbl setup didn't arrive until '67. So, what's special about your engine?

man i don't know you know anybody who is in the expertise on this car i don't have a clue and i don't know why the engine is a special one might be a vin mistake at the factory don't know ANYBODY KNOW

Bold added to quote. My guess since you said this is a Duster, that it's a 76, which means you need a decoder that covers that year. Here's two I found with a quick Google search:
AutoHobbyDigest Mopar VIN decoder - covers from 1960-88.
Mopar VIN Decoder - has four different decoders covering 1962-65, 1966-74, 1975-80, and 1981+.

Tha AutoHobbyDigest one still indicates it is as special order /6, while the other seems to indicate it's just a regular 225 - maybe you have a Feather Duster?

so how come my engine is a special slant six beats me thanks guys for you help

Oh, lookit that, I completely missed that we were talking about a Duster. Yep, both the VIN decoder you first used and the one I suggested go up to '75 only, AFAIK. And yes, "C" in the 5th digit means a 225 in '76.
