You don't get a build sheet. You get a letter listing options, manufacturing date, selling dealer's name, and then they give you a copy of the IBM punch card.

I thought all C Body records were destroyed. When did that change?

I think the cut-off is 1968. Not positive about that, but know for sure that 69 and up are gone.

The cut-off is '67.

Probably. I might do them, but I'm not sure. My welding skills would sure need to be upped before I even attempted it.

'67 and prior.

I have a 68 and a 70 and was told that I was SOL for any official Mopar records due to a fire.

Does the punch card have the same data as the build sheet?

Update:
Engine and transmission are out! Last night, my dad came over to the garage to help me finish taking the car apart. We wound up pulling the engine and trans as one unit. This took us around three hours. The transmission is getting a complete rebuild, while I am just going to be putting the correct intake and other assorted pieces back onto the engine.
Pics:
It has become obvious that this car has had some sort of accident damage in it's past, as the inner drivers side wheel well and fender are blue. The good news is that the engine is almost definitely original due to it's 8-9-'65 build date (made a month before the car)... Now where did I put that trailer?

I see three Horvaths.
Sr., Jr, and who's the third?

He is my Grandfather. Not a Horvath though.

So, he's the Superintendent that watches and tells you how its done.

Not too much of an issue. The previously rounded off bolt heads were what was holding us up. We had to take it all apart to get it to come out though.
Are you pulling the trim yourself, or leaving that to the bodyshop? Excellent thread you've got started... every time I think I will take pictures of a project I get focused and forget about the camera until cleanup time. Please keep it up.

I will be taking off the trim and doing my best to restore it or replace it with what precious extra I have acquired. I'm glad that you enjoy the thread!
