Do you still have a fender tag or build sheet for your Charger ?

There was a thread a little while ago about post your build date for your 69 Charger
http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,138337.0.html

I would have thought there would have been more replies

Then I got to thinking I wonder how many truly know very much about the original parts of their cars and if they had a fender tag or build sheet to go by

So lets find out  :2thumbs:

No it does not really matter but it does add a little to the fun
I only have a fender tag on my 69 and nothing for my 70 project ( vin says it was just a 318 car )
Kind of nice to be able to think when your car's birthday might have been  :2thumbs:

Mine was originally a 440. Have the original engine but no tag

Mine was a 69 SE, light gold poly, tan top and interior, no tag or sheet, had the leather seats, woodgrain dash, no power windows, AC, console. The car had already had crappy body work and paint, top removed, holes filled and a wasted interior, the tan door pads were the only thing saveable. 

I had a wrecked triple black that had a perfect interior so I swapped it in and drove it for a while.
I didn't realize it was an SE till 20 years after I bought it and for lack of a better word "restored" it, did some research and found the telltale lack of "charger" roof emblem holes but the two small SE ones instead.

So basically it's now just a regular old 69 383-2 Charger  ::)

I have the original tag, sheet, matching motor and trans for my 70 RT car. The back seat had probably never been out. A sheet for a 383 four barrel Charger was in the bottom cushion and in the upper hanging  by one corner. But I bought my car from the original owners Son.  It was parked in the same garage all it's life.

So Mark, do you still have the 383 build sheet? Curious minds want to know.

While I'm here I might as well add I have a different build sheet for my car and the original owner misplaced the tags. Story of my life. :brickwall:

Yep, still have the original fender tag and some pieces of my build sheet.   Nothing special from the factory so not worried about it. F3 triple green 318 auto ..

Fender tag and build sheet for me, my car isn't exactly 'special' but I love having all the documentation.

Did you have a good look at your build sheet ?

I had one stuck in my back seat also but when I took it out the VIN was off by one number and it was for the car before mine
Same colours and same motor

Both of my 70s have the fender tag, neither have a sheet; I'm holding out hope that the sheet(s) might surface one day.

Yep I pulled out the build sheet and the sequence number matches the fender tag, dash vin and core support/trunk lip numbers  :coolgleamA:

I have the build sheet, original bill of sale, fender tag, the motor matches, the trans matches as well as all the body stamping. I would hope this increases the value for someone looking for exactly that.

70 sublime

A little surprised at the results so far
I would have figured with 50 year old cars that about only half would still have their factory statistics some how
But by the way it is looking right now 90% still know how their cars looked originally and only 10% have lost their info along the way
24 out of 27 know
3 out of 27 have nothing

When I bought my first Charger in March 2000, the seller gave me a file folder with 2 broadcast sheets in it. I didn't look too close. Just a few weeks ago I took them out and saw that they were NOT for my car...and they were for 2 different cars! They were built identically though, as if they were fleet cars or for a rental company. One had a VIN a few digits off from mine.

Yes, we were lucky enough that our '69 R/T SE has both the Fender Tag and 'pristine' condition Broadcast Sheet looks like it just came off the printer, no rips, no tears, no fading.  
The rear seat had never been removed.... ever, and I can feel by hand what I believe another/2nd Broadcast Sheet taped above the Glovebox but just left it there. Yes, numbers matching throughout, UN-restored, UN-rebuilt, all body stampings and most all parts are still original as well(new Mufflers/Brakes/Hoses etc)

Between the two, documents the Charger exactly the same as when new, nothing altered or changed..... which we already knew anyways from historical/chronological work orders/invoices going back many decades, etc.,  but makes everything provable 'as is' same-same to this day.

Put a photocopy back under the rear seat, and documented the original

I think maybe a disproportional number that still have the stuff/equity in the thread are responding..... whereas those that do not ? are merely moving on disinterested because they don't ?

Not scientific.... but the overwhelming majority I know of 'personally' do NOT have B-Sheets and only about 50-60% with original Fender Tags in varying conditions.

Yes it does and will when the time comes.... if that time ever does come ?  
just say'in here....
Very hard to part with these Cars when they are in fine condition and can be enjoyed ? and WTF is the point in putting money in the Bank at DONUT interest rates ?
