Registry Statistics; A66 Verts w AC

Just some A66 Registry Statistics;

In responding to Justin's inquiry regarding A66 Challenger verts with AC in the A66 Registry; I went through the files in our Registry. There are 46 A66 convertibles listed in our Registry with full or partial data recorded. From the 46 verts in the A66 Registry, there are only 9 A66 verts with AC. Justin's car is one of them. Additionally, only 8 A66 verts in Registry came with automatic transmissions and AC. Only 6 A66 Challenger verts in the Registry came with an automatic, a rallye dash and AC.​

A66 Statistical Information from the A66 Challenger Registry;

Bryon H. raised the question of how many A66 cars came with the Rallye Dash option. Specific to our A66 Registry; out of a total of 227 A66 cars in the A66 Registry with full or partial information, 63 A66 cars have the Rallye dash. Not included in the count are 3 A66 Challengers where owners added the Rallye dash. That translates into 27.7% of A66 Challengers in our Registry have the Rallye dash option

Car sold very cheap for a 5 year old Challenger at the time.
Any one own or know of this car?

It just occurred to me, when I got the Mr Norms sales paperwork for my Challenger T/A, it showed that when the car was purchased new in February of 1971, the buyer traded in an H code '70 Challenger towards his purchase.  I'll have to remember when I get home and dig out the sales envelope and post the VIN of that trade in.

I just pulled out the paperwork folder and here is the info on the A66 Challenger traded in on my T/A in February of 1971 by Patrick Willford of Rolling Meadows Illinois.
It was orange though which orange wasn't specified.
It's VIN was JH23H0B268210
They marked down it had an automatic and a radio, no other details.
I wonder if JH23H0B268210 still exists by any chance?

Thank you for sharing the A66 data. The serial number was not in the Registry and I added it with the related information that you had.
Greatly appreciated in your data adding to our Registry information.
Based on the serial number, it looks to have been scheduled to be built in late February or early March 1970.

Again, would love to know if the car still exists!
Thanks again
Phil

It's interesting that the owner bought a 340 Challenger most likely in spring of 1970 around the time that T/As were being introduced, then less than a year later bought a leftover T/A in early 1971.
Maybe he'd had buyers remorse after getting the A66 and finally months later decided he'd get a T/A after all?
I tracked down an address for who I believe the Patrick Willford who owned these cars, still in the area, but he never responded to my attempts to contact him.

 I would say that it isn't all tgat unusual.
My 71 cuda, of which I'm the 3rd owner,  was bought by my buddy in 72, with 8000 miles on it.
The original owner sold it to buy the hemi cuda he missed.
