=======================================================


Per the 'How many '69 500's were actually built?' thread post I made this morning I went ahead and started this as a Google Doc.  It is meant to be 'open source', meaning I've done about 2 hours of adding to it and I don't plan on making it my life's work, so you are all welcome to edit this document.  Or not.  I've suggested a layout, give it a try.  If it doesn't work, tweak it.  All the information I gathered was pretty much DC/moparts/and car for sale sites - pretty public.


The Rules:

1.  Do not share owner information - no names, phone numbers, or addresses more specific than a state.  This includes previous owners.  This is about documenting Charger 500's, not the owner.

2.  Information posted should be of the publicly available sort.  It should be info acquired by internet searches, viewing at car shows, car ads, forum postings by owners, etc.  If in doubt get the owner's permission before posting.

3.  Only change information you know to be incorrect.  Only add info you know to be correct.  No hearsay or 'I guy I know told me...' stuff, try to have photo resources, research, or first-hand knowledge of what is being posted.  Post photo links and source links if you can.

Good luck with the Registry!  I locked the first line of the document so you can see the title of the column when you scroll down....my contribution!

[Beep Beep Dave]

That's a great start. Hopefully it catches on. I think something to add would be contact info....just in case say an original engine, tranny, broadcast sheet etc was found? Just a suggestion. That could be optional.

    great stuff !! ( Homerr )

Thank you Homerr

[Nwcharger]

This is a really cool.  I've always thought there should be a public registry like this for c500's I can see my future 500 in there.

[69_500]

Lots of Hemi cars listed as 440 cars in that list.

[Homerr]

Thanks everyone.  But I'm serious too about just getting it going.  I don't want ownership of this one, it's public.  I'll check to see if cars that I come across are on it, but that's about it for my involvement.  Go ahead and add to it if you'd like.

Thanks for the catch 69_500, I fixed the J code cars.  Speaking of, it already is looking like the Hemi cars were done in batches.

[Kowal]

I tweaked my entry slightly.    Adding sold from dealer and where it is today (Charlotte).

Very cool idea.

You are missing this one I think.    From the Wellborn Collection at Mecum.   Maybe someone on the board knows the VIN

What are you going to do with the known 68 Charger 500 and the possible 2nd 68 500 VINs XS orXX29J8B360711 E74 red white XS or XX29J8B360719 E74 black black?

[Homerr]

Kowal, yeah I couldn't find a VIN on that one.  Several blue ones listed already, which one is yours?

500Jon, that's sort of the point in a way - to figure out the real VINs and provide a public list for buyers/sellers/researchers to match against.  

BTW, in the interests of disclosure - my motivation here is to see if a public registry works.  There is the 500 controversy about how many cars were built and 392 is a small-ish data set to start with.  And I don't ever think I'll own a 500 as I like the non-aero 2nd gens, I'm socking away $ for one.

Uhh, honestly I don't even know about those cars.  I'll let someone who is more of an expert figure if/how they each fit in to the spreadsheet.

I love the aero section stories and pics, but I'm a real novice at this level of knowledge about them.

Please restrict the list to 392 entries, as anymore is pointless and/or FAKES!

AHA!!  A Christmas present for John!!   

FYI- the boosters and supports are brass!

'138602

[Kowal]

XX29L9B238077 is another RK sold car.

I updated the spreadsheet based on the info in their sold section.   I remember seeing this car in Detroit for a bit, then I think it was sold, the owner at that time is a member here.

[41husk]

I have to look at my VIN an add it.  Great idea!

[500Jon]

99 and counting!

Who's gonna be the 100th to join the list?

Happy New Year to Charger 500 Folks!!!

[billssuperbird]

I just saw on me tv the mod squad jump of a charger 500 hood in a junk yard. 

[500Jon]

100-UP!

Maybe by next Christmas it will be 200-UP?

Happy New Year 500-Folks..............

[charger500440]

Very cool, thanks for putting this together. Updated my 500's info, glad to see some info for my car listed that I don't believe I've ever put out there previously...

[white]

I bet we hit 200 before spring

[69_500]

I am waiting on replies from multiple people before updating the list. If they all say yes I could push it much higher than 200.

[richRTSE]

Is there a way to have that automatically put the vins in order numerically using just the last 6? It's all over the place now...

[Alaskan_TA]

Most programs have a "sort' function, but I have not used this version before so I am not familiar with it.

If the VINs were 'split' into the prefix in the first column, then the last six in the second column a sort feature could hopefully be used to sort them by VIN order.

As it is now, if there is a sort feature the engine codes would separate the 440s & Hemis from each other.

Otherwise, if that is not an option this program does have an 'insert' feature, so 100002 as an example could be inserted between 100001 & 100003 if those numbers were on the list.
