Need your help on spreadsheet

[commando1]

I'm working on a project to identify all C-bodies in a format that is easy to understand for Newbies and vets alike.
I need your help.
View the speadsheet and look at Column B.
As you look down the column, do you see any models missing?
Thanks.

Each year has different VIN classes
in 69
DL - Polara
DM - Polara 500
DH - Monaco
DP - Monaco 500

Probably holds true thru the other years and car lines.

MOPAR C-BODY LINE

Stan, just to clarify...are you looking for actual sub models as indicated by the second letter in the VIN? (PL, PE, PM, PP, etc)

PP - VIP
CL - Newport Custom

DM (70) and DL (71) - Polara Custom
DM (71) Polara Brogham

DS - Polara Special

Regarding Imperials:

D body was full frame, ended in 66. Imperials from 67-73 were not D bodies. They were C unibodies with unique stub frames to achieve the 127 inch wheelbase.; or stretch C bodies, if you will.

What a can of worms.

We beat this horse when Joey labeled the site four years ago

 

[CanCritter]

Sport Fury GT and S23.

cough ..cough...ahem......sport fury GT Brogham :O)

 

[Mr C]

Imperial South Hampton, Crown, Ghia Limo

South Hampton was a term used to denote hardtop. The South Hampton moniker was dropped in 64, and therefore not applicable to the spreadsheet.

Not a model but a trim package...cough cough

Good point. Applies to many of the cars mentioned (Polara, Polara Custom, Newport, Newport Custom, NY, NYB etc.). Lots of trim levels...

 

[amazinblue82]

seems like a a worthwhile effort as commando1 opened with.

But, some things to sort out as polara71 (and others) says as to what words mean (1) "models" vs "model trim level" vs. "packages", vs "options". (2) C vs. D bodies with the Imps (dunno if this one will EVER achieve consensus but we'll see), (3) etc. and so forth.

last, will the final spreadsheet be "authoritative" by an electronic "show of hands" OR is "authoritativeness" NOT an objective to strive for? maybe "guidance" is the best outcome for the effort?

in the end, I hope this forum can "get it done" or "improve upon" previous efforts at this analysis -- we are probably the only ones who care enough and are skilled enough to do so for our beloved C's

 

[mr. fix it]

I am not the one that could figure it out, but I think it would be interesting if there were a place on here whereally members could register their cars, maybe even ny the VIN. Would make a permanent searchable data base. Seems like from time to time a car shows up for sale and some wonder if that belonged to a member at one time
