Need help with fender plate codes

[Charles Wise]

i have acquired a 1971 Plymouth Duster 340 Wedge with what looks like Hemi
orange body and flat black hood and upper stripes and a "340 Wedge" decal on
the hood. I'm having trouble decoding all the fender plate codes. any one
know where i can find a more complete list of codes?

TIA

[euphoriab...@gmail.com]

Post the codes here and I'd be more than happy to help.

I can tell you EV2 is Hemi Orange (technically, Tor Red). I bet the
hood is V21 but I'm not sure. Stripes shoud be V(#)X with X meaning
black. I bet the "#" is 5 or 6? Memory is going. . .

Here are the codes as best i could read them ( there was i bit of rust
involved).

V6X V8X EN2
M21 W25 N41 N42 R11 V24
EV2 U C55 G36 J45 J81
EV2 L6XV 5X8 A16 138284
E55 D13 VS29 H18 185309

any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.

"Three speed stick on the floor. I remember them being around. always

Most musclecars from the era came with a 3-speed standard. If memory
serves correct, they may have made more 3-speeds than 4-speeds, which
is probably one of a handfull of cars that ended up that way during
that era.
