Since both the turquoise K code E85 350 horse and the L code orange E86 375 horse were available in a Sport Fury and you are making it up anyway, you may as well go with orange. The VIN or fender tag won't match so you can argue for the orange and be correct.

The short answer is no. The SCHEDULED Production Date (SPD) is an administrative function generally unrelated to actual assembly. For a variety of reasons, cars were built well before and after the SPD. We can document this. The SPD is unreliable when it comes to assembly.

IF it is even stamped, a '68 VIN will be on the back of the block by the oil sending unit. 69 and later will be on a pad on the passenger's side of the block. A partial VIN can narrow down what the engine came out of as we know what plants built what cars for each model year. After that, if...

Given the liability of selling a car that could have received structural damage and become a legal safety problem or ongoing warranty issue, it was probably smarter and safer to just salvage them, collect the insurance and build a new car. This is a good example as to why the 'built' and 'sold'...

Here's something I found... There is a name change to A48 sometime in late August of 1968. Here are two different invoices from the same car plus an invoice from a different car. The 8/16 invoice lists A48 as PROTECTION GROUP The 9/4 and 10/28 invoices lists A48 as POLARA DECOR GROUP...

SO is all one number. Its administrative purpose and application can vary by year making it hard to use sweeping generalizations prior to 1968. It is unrelated to actual assembly. In some years, the SO number generally designates a make and body line (A/B/C) pricing hierarchy within the...

Here's an ADSN from a 1974 Imperial listing the standard and optional at additional cost items. Interestingly enough, air-conditioning WAS standard in '74 but a radio was not. Any item that was deleted from the standard offering, such as a stripes or a heater, would be documented. Deleting a...

Thank you.

Sorry. I don't have anything close to that one. So...it's out of either a Chrysler or Imperial.

Here's an interesting apples to apples fall of 1971 price comparison between three similarly equipped cars. Interesting details include the availability and price discrepancy of things like the engine, tires, tilt/telescopic wheel and destination charge (Jefferson vs Belvidere?) Please notice...

The light package cost a little more on the 41 compared to the 21.

There are far, far too many printing, layout, coding and spelling errors and omissions. Whoever did this did not do good research. They simply looked up codes and prices they thought should be on a WS. IF the actual IBM card or broadcast sheet, does exits, that would be very helpful. This...

Beautiful car. Bogus documentation should always make you perk up..... Making up paperwork always sounds good at the time but in the end, when it's time to sell, it raises more questions than it should. Simply shred it.

The Schedule Build Date (SPD) and the following six letter and/or numbers together compose what is know in 1969 as the VEHICLE ORDER NUMBER (VON) They are administrative in purpose and totally unrelated to production. Cars were built well before and after the SPD. It is far more unlikely the car...

It's a known typo for '69 Jefferson. One can find similar misstampings at other plants. Humans made tags. Humans make stimakes. Tags have mistakes.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding..... We can certainly document the different VIN ranges for US and Canada sold cars in 1966 but I think we'll find for '65 Chryslers, there is no split VIN range between US and Canada cars. We can document US sold '65 Chrysler's with VINs in the 200000 range. The...

Do you mean built for sale in Canada or built in Canada?

@Torky is doing some really nice work on the 65s and earlier.

As we've seen, what actually came in the packages varies by trim level and/or body style. Here's a PL23 vs DL23 A07 comparison:

Nope. Read the letter.
