I know for the Chevy Tri-fives, they has very detailed production numbers available. But so they have those for Mopar as well? I'm just curious what the numbers are for 1970, different body styles.
Unlike the A/B/E cars where there are solid production number records,most C body records were lost in a fire years ago.
There are some members here that may have some further information.
Others created a registry for certain make and models to document the cars still in existence.
Thankss for clarifying that!There was no fire!
They were thrown away ...
I think you mean parted out...There was no fire!

The acknowledgments state this book is in the Library of Congress. I’ve had this since new.
That's just idiotic, surely they could've given the files and documents to car clubs/museums."The Standard Book of Chrysler" also has production figures, mainly by the model year and model, without the detailed installation rate of colors/options that can be found in the B/E-body cars.
I understand that much of what was in Chrysler Historical before the financial issues was moved off-site by the man who oversaw that department. When things were safe again, he moved them back and was heralded for saving much of Chrysler's history in the process. Seems like he passed away about 10 years ago?
Unfortunately, many of the car companies purged their archives when they needed room for more modern vehicle records. You had to know it was going to happen or be near a dumpster before the truck arrived, as was the case with lots of early Buick items. Or just got lucky to find them before the garbage truck arrived.
Just some thoughts,
