The most common Mopar Date Codes are the 4 digit Julian Perpetual Day Calendar. The first 3 numbers are the day of the year and the last number is the year.
Example: 2979 would be the 297th day of 1969 = Oct 24th, 1969. Typically production Model Years for Cuda’s & Challenger’s would be from August 1st to July 31st.
