Barracuda, Road Runner and GTX VINs

Classic Plymouth Muscle VIN Decoder & Registry

Plymouth’s muscle-era VIN contains model/series prefix, body, engine, model year, plant and production sequence. PetrolJunky uses those positions to identify the car while explicitly separating VIN facts from packages that require a fender tag or broadcast sheet.

Decoder reference

What this decoder page is designed to answer.

B-body and E-body cars use recognizable prefix families

RM identifies Road Runner, RS the GTX in supported years, and BH/BP/BS cover Barracuda and Cuda families as the model moves from A-body to E-body. PetrolJunky validates the prefix against year rather than applying one timeless definition.

Engine letters are decoded in year context

Codes for 340, 383, Hemi and 440 engines changed across 1968–1974. The decoder therefore combines the VIN year with the engine character before reporting displacement and family.

Superbird authenticity is deliberately not inferred

A Superbird originates from the Road Runner VIN family, and the VIN alone is not enough to authenticate the aerodynamic conversion. PetrolJunky returns Road Runner and leaves Superbird provenance to the fender tag, body numbers and documents.
