Mopar Crash tests

[Topcat]

So I decided to E-mail the NHTSA and ask them if they had video streams of the crash tests of Mopars back from the 70's. Here is their reply.

Safety Hotline Information Center.

reports and high speed films are available from George Washington
University's National Crash Analysis Center Library. 

They can be reached at (703)726-8236 or you can visit their website at:

Barry let's not give up yet. They had to of filmed it or them. So they must know of their where abouts also.

It is probably archived. They most likely feel that there would be no request for data on vehicles that old. You may have to try for a person search of their data.
