additional VIN numbers for Daytonas, compared to the ship list

[xs29j8Bullitt]

For what it's worth, for about 3-4 years now Troy P. and I have been gradually developing a Daytona Registry that will allow users to search the respective Shipping & Dealer Invoice list for certain cars, sort through registered cars for certain option combinations (no publication of owner's names, etc.), and a bunch of other cool features.  It's obviously been in the works for a long time, but hopefully someday soon we can have a roll-out of the initial website for everyone to kick around.  One of the problems in developing such a thing is the more I stew on it, the more ideas I come up with.  Troy probably cringes every time the phone rings and it's me on the other end.

Very much looking forward to the debut of the Daytona Registry...

As far as I know, 381550 is not a duplicate listing.  #470 on the list is 381554 if I'm not mistaken.
I haven't had time to go through this thread as carefully as I'd like, but it's a good thing for multiple people to be checking and re-checking the list.

thank you for the clarification on #470. i am working solely with information gathered from old threads, and without the benefit of a ship list copy to cross-reference things. (my email address is on my profile, should someone be inclined to share it.)

your list/registry is, without doubt, far beyond the stuff i have gathered. like the masses, i look forward to its release. in the meantime, i intend to continue humoring/frazzling/occupying myself with this pet project. if nothing else, it passes some time until the registry is released.

...funny, looking thru this old info and listings...brings up names I haven't heard of in years...I remember some of the names from 30 years ago...are they still out there, do they sill have a winged car, are they even still alive...some times it feels like time has stopped, so many of the same people in the winged car hobby

thanks, dave.

that document has always been an interesting piece of daytona history. topic #3 mentions storing the cars at "new car driveaway", which happens to be an alternate spelling of the trucking company name that was visible on the transporter in the creative industries photos. two separate things, or not? The material control manager named "LB Wiser", also mentioned in #3, would have been a fascinating interview. Has anyone ever heard his war stories? they would have been nearly as fascinating as those of the engineers.

topic #4 mentions chrysler's quality control department. with the time constraints they were under to deliver the cars, you just know that these guys were cringing at some of the work being "ok'd for shipment. it would have been a "ship it now, repair it later" nightmare. paint quality alone would have drove them nuts. i know our daytona was completely repainted just weeks after delivery, along with who knows how many others.

...my F6 was repainted when new also, paint flaked off

i've finished combing through the hundreds of threads here, and plucked all of the information from them that i could. whether it's accurate or not is anyone's guess, since i don't have a copy of either factory list to double check things against. should anyone want to email either list in the next day or two, i'm willing to continue on. otherwise, it was fun while it lasted.
