The golden era of American muscle cars brought us some of the coolest vehicles in automotive history, with Mopar — a combination of "Motor" and "Parts" under Chrysler — leading the charge. Between 1960 and 1976, Mopar manufactured a wide array of A-body, B-body, and E-body cars under its Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth divisions. These included legendary models like the Charger, Challenger, Barracuda, Road Runner, Super Bee, GTX, Dart, and Duster. Enthusiasts and restorers alike often rely on decoding information such as VINs, fender tags, and broadcast sheets to verify originality, specs, and authenticity. Below, we've provided a detailed VIN decoder and step-by-step guide to help you learn more about your classic Mopar car.

There are a number of vintage Ford Mustang enthusiasts who work at Classic Industries. In fact, the CI colleague who spied this very 1995 Mustang Cobra convertible with the removable hardtop at the 2024 Mustang Madness show, had never seen a '95 Mustang Cobra convertible with a removable hardtop in person before. When photos were shown around the CI office, none of us knew what the heck we were viewing on the colleague's cell phone.
