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...
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...
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.
The innate hardwiring didn't change. It's the, false, belief that one can override the hardwiring with the wave of a magic wand, or words. That's called hubris.
Back on topic, I'm still recycling the 'ole AEN avatars.
He's reporting data on a CALENDAR year. The data I posted is for MODEL year so the two reports do not mix and match. I'd like to see his documentation for 'sold' numbers.
The number 55,588 is built in the US. And according to the plant production numbers, they were all built at the Belvedere...
Many of you know I'm a 'number's guy'. I recently bought the '67, '68 and '69 editions of the Wards Automotive yearbooks that are filled with all sorts of production information for the automotive industry on a model or calendar year basis.
To my knowledge, there is not a lot of C body options...
