Yeah, now.... Not while it was living around here......  At one point the owner discussed selling it to me... We couldn't agree on the price. He wanted $7000.00.... I couldn't justify more than $5500..... But it was the mid eighties & I knew of a nicer V code vert that had been for sale for awhile & the guy couldn't get $5500 for his.... At the time I knew this one was odd, didn't fully understand why or how special it was... Neither did it's owner....

What is J0B?

What is J0B?

JOB is something you need to pay the bills.....In this case it refers to the Sequence Number or build order of the cars on a production line.

[6bblgt]

pre-production "PILOT" cars were numbered with their "BUILD" or "JOB" number to account for them prior to being assigned a VIN

I would estimate the JOB NUMBERS 5 thru 12 accounted for above were built around April/May of 1969 - these tags have many differences in use & coding that differ from production

the above accounted for JOB 159 thru 166 were built around June/July of 1969 and are often found in early advertisements/road tests/etc. - fender tags are looking closer to production pieces.

the "PILOT" JOB NUMBER system covers the entire Chrysler - Plymouth - Dodge product line consecutively 1 thru 166+

the above listed VINs above 0B100028 are PRODUCTION not "PILOT" builds

30-BP23G0B100030--XXX-D32 do you have evidence of this, I believe it is actually BP23G0E100030
35-BS23V0B100035--FE5-D32
36-BS23V0B100036--FE5
52-BH23G0B100052--FE5

162-XXXXX0B100162--XXX-XXX-JOB 162
166-JS27V0B1000121--XXX-XXX (JS27V0B100021)

these are production cars NOT "PILOT"

100008 was in this area for awhile back in the 80's.  Had a shake on it and the bubble bolted to the hood 

I'll see if I can fins a pic or two...
