I have always wanted to see what the codes mean on my fender tag. Can anyone help decode this? I searched the forum, and didn't get very far.

Here is my tag:

EW1 U G51 R11 V5X END

EW1 A1B6 000 816 153784

E24 D34 VL29 C4G 100863

Thanks! :D

Thanks for the info! But the things I quoted you on don't seem to add up. The interior was tan (gold-ish) and black and the bench was all vinyl when I bought it. The sheet inside the drivers door with the vehical build info on it I could have sworn it said the build date was October 28, 1973 (same vin #). I took it off, so I will have to find it and check.
