OK now that they are out and about is anyone starting a data base of all the little details we MoPar Nuts are so fond of ? You know paint and crayon inspection marks, tags, documenting how good or bad things fit....it dawned on me that just like in 1969 we can't wait to add our own flair to these cars and now is the time to collect all the info you will want 40 years from now to do a perfect restoration! A great idea in my book would be to get access to the people on the assembly line and get there experiences and photos or whatever now. Is there a registry yet? :shruggy:

You are ahead of the curve aren't you?  I haven't heard of any registries for them yet but their must be some kind of group for them, they had them up for the new Charger fairly quickly.

Some of the most discussed details of our cars are the very early production ones....funny I thought by now I would run into a person or two that was determined to preserve there car "as delivered".  :scratchchin:

Ted Stephens of Stephens Performance did that with at least one of his new Challengers.  When it rolled off the carrier, nobody was allowed to touch it for two days while he meticulously went over it with a fine tooth comb photographing every mark and using tweezers to pull off the little paper stickers which were put in little plastic jars.  Every item of packaging, every little piece of foam, plastic wrap, etc was saved and preserved.

I do know one guy like that.  He bought two of the first edition SRT's (must be nice huh?) so that one is for limited driving and the other is his B-J get stupid rich in 20 years plan I guess.

He isn't even a what most would call a wealthy man.  He owns nothing else really and had no other debt so he went into deep hock for the two cars and now works LOTS of overtime.
