My 74 challenger vehicle order number starts with 829, but my VIN ends with 1168XX.  Does the 829 suggest built in August??  doesn't sound right.  I must be missing something.


You have to look on your febder tag and look for the date code. 

If you look at the pic below, this car's schedualed build date is 930= Sept 30.he "0" is for the 1970 model year so this would mean that the car had a SBD of 9/30/1969 as the model year run ends in July of that year, but begins August of the previous year.

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.

Pic #2 and 3 of my ARII 1/24 scale model car 

Phil in New England-Massachusetts  Always thank God for what you have!

BUILT 8/1973

 :iagree:  If the Scheduled Build Date is 829, then 8/29/1973 is correct.  It's possible that it was built prior to the model year.

My '72 Challenger had a SBD 8/17/1971.

kissalien, If you don't take Barry's email off of your post he will get spam mail. If you go to his profile, and then his website, you will find his email address under contact.

Spam sucks.

Posted email addresses are picked up on open forums & used to distribute spam mail, it is a fact of life.  :walkaway:

I did get the photos of the broadcast sheet in question, but my eyes are not good enough to read them. A scan would help considerably.  :wave:

It is not posted directly on either site unless I missed something?

You have to click on a button to get to it, so the 'bots do not navigate to it.  ;)

It is on this page, but not as a clickable or whatever you would call it;

http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/contact.shtml

The spam-bots look for the "hot" clickable ones.

Edit;

I do see it on the T/A site, no WONDER why I get about 100 emails a day for little blue pills.  :faint:

Sounds good.

If that does not work for whatever reason, can you mail a color photocopy?  :dunno:
