Wing car and C500 production question ?

[hemikev]

Ive never seen option production reports for the c500 nor the wing cars   ?? (such thing as pw,wheels,gears,colors and other options )   .  Were these cars pulled off the line and sent to creative  or was there a bunch of these cars sent to their facility already assigned a vin  order number and fender tag...  I assume all wing cars were not ordered cars and some were just factory to dealership lot sales car    just asking   i am in no way a wing car expert   just interested in the way things happened back in the day    Thanx     hemikev

Basically complete RT's sent to Creative after assembly.  Except Superbirds.

did thet arrive with xx vin numbers and changed at creative  ?     Are we to assume that they are part of 69 charger r/t production   ..  im just tryin to understand how production went down     thanx

[Ghoste]

Yes, arrived with XX and rear window plug and front end and wing on Daytonas changed at Creative.  They began as normal RT's but for that and some of the very first 500's still had XP.

so thats how they no say  414 000  were daytonas or 500   s     just certain batches of r/t runs sent to creative  ?        didthey send regular runners to same place  but no its superbird from tag and sheet....    did the xx s  get their own b sheet prior to delivery to creative   i know alot of question   but  you dont no if you dont ask   ...  thanx

They were done in batches and they knew which ones prior to assembly.  There is another code on both the broadcast sheet and the fender tag which would indicate it eventually going to Creative for the conversion.  Superbirds were done in house but the same things apply.

..... and some of the very first 500's still had XP.

correction....some 500s still had the Charger R/T vin "XS" code, not XP. 

Mine has the XX vin tag, but XS on the fender tag and build sheet...

Ooops.  I deserve a huge slap for that one.

Not as bad as calling your wife the wrong name but still pretty bad.
