69 Charger 500's

$100 for a 30 minute phone call? And all you get is where the car was sold new?

doesn't seem right to me

That is the standard fee.   On the other hand, you have up to half an hour to discuss anything about these cars in person that has been keeping you up at night.    

I know some are not going to like the idea of paying for information, but let's not go down that road.    All I am saying is that if you want the information, it is available.

I think it was 1972 someone asked Chrysler how many charger 500 were built. If they put XX29 in the computer, and it said 392, what about all of the XS29 charger 500 that are out there. These may have been lost in the count. One of mine is a XS29    Rick.

Me too........ Until otherwise "educated", my answer when I'm out and about with the cars will be 392........... This topic is like an oldie-goldie....... Don't hear it much, but when you do, it brings up a lot of memories, emotions and well,,,,,,,,,,, in this genre, controversy....

An XS29 charger 500? It is new to me.

early 69 500's were XS before the XX designation

By coincidence, I spoke to Diane at Galen's office this afternoon.   After answering her questions,  I asked her about the Charger 500 VIN list.   She later called me back and said she had found the information.    What she described to me was similar to what arrow talks about in the post above.  

I then asked what would be involved for an owner to obtain the information on their particular car.    If you own a '69 Charger 500 and would like to research the name and location of the dealer where it was sold new, you should send an email to her at gts@mhtc.net    You will need to provide her your VIN.   If she has information on your car, she will set you up with Galen for a 30 minute phone consult.  You will probably need to provide some proof of ownership and they will want to verify the fender tag info if you have that.   The cost for the phone consult is $100.

 

So they have a dealer/shipping list with each VIN. I wonder where this was acquired from. I know where my 500 was shipped to, so probably not alot Galen can tell me that I don't already know.

so you can now pay yerself $100 for that info

Do aero cars rust less around the rear window, hence more being around?

[Ghoste]

No, its just that as homologation cars they tended to be purchased more frequently by ardent enthusiasts right from the beginning so they were better taken care of than the "garden variety" musclecars.  Hence the better survival rate.  You see it with other vehicles of the ilk as well.

Doug what is the survival rate of the Talladega's? Percentage wise just curious. I think a big part of the survival of the 500's that I have seen has to do with the fact that 90 are Hemi cars. I know typical rates are somewhere in the 20-30% survival rate. But I think with Hemi cars its probably around 70+ right? Then I would say around 40% for R/T cars maybe higher still for RT/SE. So if you figure all 500's are compatible to all of those and lump them all together you would have a high rate of survival. Just throwing it out there.
Me I am not sold either way on how many there were produced. I just know how many I have tracked down. I do not evere expect that number to be higher than 392 though. I am actually surprised at how many I have seen so far considering that the most I have ever seen at now show is 13.

These numbers are rough.

154 Spoiler II's accounted for out of 503= 30%

269 Talladegas accounted for out of 748 = 36%

385 Daytonas out of 501 = 76%

1257 Superbirds out of 1920 = 65%

[Ghoste]

So they either needed a letter "e" on the end of each of those or they were discussing who did the conversion?

Thanks, had not seen any real photos.  Lot of work there, I see someone saving it for sure, but for comparison.
T3 XX29J with apparent no sale at 99k, no bids.  Not in a color for me ,     but looks very very nice in photos.
