Now, if you have a Canadian-built Dodge 440 . . .
6-cylinder non-wagon : 4249
8-cylinder non-wagon : 5249

Pre-1966 American VINs do not have a digit for the body style while the
Canadian 1965 does (although not before 1965).

6-cylinder Dodges were assembled at all plants - Hamtramck, LosAngeles,
Newark, St.Louis, and Windsor.  The Lynch Road plant did not build Dodges in
1964, only Plymouths.   The only Dodge engines that were plant-specific were
the 426 wedge and 426 hemi.  They were built only at Hamtramck.

By assembly plant, 1964 Dodge production :
2 - Hamtamck : 163,731
5 - LosAngeles : 18,429
6 - Newark : 32,477
7 - St.Louis : 34,012
 Total U.S. : 258,649

9 - Windsor : 28,339

The 440 series consisted of 2-door sedan, 4-door sedan and 2-door hardtop,
plus 2-seat and 3-seat wagons.   The 2-door sedan was U.S.-only while the
wagons were available with a six only in Canada..

424x if its a six cyl. 440
624x if its a V8 440

"x", the 4th digit is the plant code

4241 Lynch Rd. six cyl. 440
6242 Hamtramck V8 440
6245 Los Angeles V8 440
6247 St. Louis V8 440

my info shows that V8 440s were assembled at Hamtramck,  Los Angeles,
and St. Louis ... and six cyl. 440s were assembled at Lynch Rd.

of course, I don't think any 440's were post cars, unless you are
talking about a 4dr....
