I can't read it very well even with enlarging the picture. 507 SPD at Belvedere would be about 281XXX VIN A 300xxx VIN would need to be a late June or July SPD A 507 SPD at Newark would be in the 250xxx ish range. You'd have to go to a late July SPD to get to a 300xxx VIN at Newark.

What was coded, when it was coded, and even where it was coded on a tag varies year to year, plant to plant and even within the model year. Jefferson plant tags are unique. Their coding protocol is actually closer to the Lynch Road plant than other plants. If you have ANY 70 Jefferson tag that...

1. Do you mean Y16? 2. Agree. code 38 on the BS is found with many other Y39 cars. It's one of many codes used on BSs. The designation on the sheet is common and expected. 3. 4. Agree to the designation. Disagree with the possibly of it being a freak. IF that was true, then we should expect to...

YE GADS! Poor thing. 22670X? J99759?

I find it troubling that any entity that 'registers', gathers, collects and archives VINs and information on cars would be so pretentious to assume they are the definitive source for 'surviving'. There are probably cars stuck in backwood ravines in Kentucky, buried underneath collapsed barns in...

Good letter. thanks for posting. RE: The transmission. There's a little smoke going on with that response. Yes, the T code used the 669 transmission assembly. The 670 transmission found in Hursts was used behind B, C and E body 440-4bbl U code 375 horse cars. So the tranny was used in other...

The 383-2bbl, the 383-4bbl 330 horse (indicated as hp in this version of the data book) and TNT 440 were available. There is no '68-'70 383-4bbl HP 335 horse assembly available for a C body. The High Performance (HP) designation stopped distinguishing between a 2bbl and 4bbl assembly after the...

Are you using global Chrysler installation percentages from above and applying them to a sub model? You can't do that as there is no documentation that a global percentage applies to ALL models. The installation rate of an option varies by model. One hundred percent of Road Runners and GTXs...

What is the interior code on the broadcast sheet?

It's a common exercise and many people attempt to but without accurate factory data, it's not possible to reliably estimate production. Producton could be 1, his car, or 10,000. There is no way to know.

Data in the Wards book is listed by both calendar and model year depending on the topic. The pages I posted cite model year and only US production. One has to use the data responsibly. It's difficult to reconcile model and calendar year data from that era as you have to account for major body...

Certicard says H9B light blue leather. Stunning combo.

Ahhhh. Thanks!

I'm scanning the 1965MY Technical Service Bulletins and ran across this reference to 300Ls What does the radiator grill light assembly look like in the day and at night? Is this a large or small lamp? What does the replacement lens look like? Thanks.

1) Who you calling 'nerd'? 2) IF we feed you more, will you share the results in a spreadsheet, not a screen shot, with the rest of us?
