Per an appropriate on-line definition - To set down in writing; record: "It is for the historian to discover and register what actually happened" (Robert Conquest). (Emphasis is mine)

I believe that a registry could document our cars in all regards, for the benefit of current and future owners/participants. Right now lots of detail with regards to these cars are discussed in this forum, and many others, but have not been brought together in any single accessible format to refer to and utilize. Look at the '69 and '70 Charger registries to see, in the proverbial nutshell, what gems of information they contain.

The Official 1968DodgeChargerRegistry is not yet born, as there is a lot yet to be done. In the interim if you feel the need to share your '68's registry information (vin, owners name, address, fender tag info (photo), and any other information you deem appropriate) please do so at the email address shown below my post. Thank you for your patience.

Ah..ok.....so it would be useful for a guy who bought a Charger but doesn't know anything about them.....I get that.
But to "register" it??? To to see how many are "left"?

I "personally" feel no need to "document" my car for others.....the OG window sticker and build sheet does just fine by me.....

PS.....hope I'm not offending anyone with my "ignorance"......

The larger benefits come later on when buying and selling them.  Unlike the GG Registry where information seems to be bought, sold and misconstrued (whether his fault or not) registries such as the Shelby one for example become a great tool for anyone wanting to authenticate the history of their car.

The registries also help with reconstructing the past. Since Mopar lost many records, the registries can semi-accurately predict the breakdown of options and cars sold. They also help identify when particular changes may have taken effect. Even if you personally don't see any value, it can certainly help the hobby as a whole. Lastly, they help identify bogus cars or cars with a shady history. If you were buying one it would be nice to know if it had any secrets before you forked over a pile of cash.

If you need database assistance, I would be glad to help. Dont know much about the Website development part of the world at this point, but develop and program in Microsoft Access and SQL Server for a living.

Really???    

My whole database is in an Excel file....while easy to use & navigate I always wondered if there was anything "better/easier" to use....

Uh, yeah! Well, better for sure but maybe not easier unless you know what you're doing. I am a DB by trade as well (although these days I spend a lot of time on data mining and "business intelligence"). The 68 and Daytona registries are going to be based on the web so Access or Excel would be a poor choice. Since the Daytona data format closely resembles the 1969 and 1970 formats I'll be able to go over that with you and the other Chris G (assuming Gene is ok with it).

Just let me know. Be glad to do what I can. Whatever I can offer, big or small, would pale in comparison to what this site has given back to me.

Any update ?

[Mr.Sixpack]

It would be nice with a 68 registry.
I'm in

[Ghoste]

HA! one thing I have guessed correctly on lately of the many.    Though it was kinda obvious.   Looking forward to seeing the registry when it arrives.

I always wondered if there was anything "better/easier" to use.

I use Microsoft Works. Great database program, easy to use. One file has over 10,000 cars in it - so far.
