I don't think I've seen anything like that for any year, although a lot of people compare info from the registry to approximate it. Be something pretty cool to have, though.

All the people hoping to make fake fender tags would LOVE to see a chart like that.

I didn't think about that. I guess I've always been jealous of the Shelby guys, who seem to have lists of every service station their cars ever filled up at. With my year I don't even really know how many were made  :pullinghair:

NCRS does a great job of that type of stuff, and being new to mopar I thought maybe they had the info also.

There actually is one that is a comprised of data that has been collected since around 1979.  The owner won't really let anyone see it.  It is not Barry.  Although I am sure Barry has a few himself.  As Barry said, this information in the wrong hands could be bad for the hobby due to fraudulent use.

Are you missing a fender tag?

There is just no way to know that, sorry.

Hamtramck built other models, the very 1st VIN assigned each year ended 100001, but going up from there in 1971 some were Demons, some were Dusters, some were Barracudas & so on.

Also, the cars were not built sequetially by VIN. As an axample, 100001 may have actually been made right after 100032, or even on a different day.

Your car was built in August, which was the first month of production for '71 cars if it was made 8/31/70.  An example of an early car: a Challenger built 8/28/70 had sequence # of 1082xx
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.
