I think you mean what day in July it was built

It should be on the fender tag, Broadcast sheet, If you have them.  :yes:

No, I know the date my car was built. My question is when was the last month the 1970 Cuda built and when did the 1971 start building ?

That sounds like a question for @6bblgt .Dan would you like to take this one?  :popcorn:

the fender tag gives the "SCHEDULED" date - NOT "ACTUAL" date
the door sticker lists the actual MONTH of completion

it appears line #1 at Hamtramck for July 1970 built ~15,000 cars - if you have a broadcast sheet, I can tell you where among those 15,000 cars yours was built - early VS. late

I have most of 1970 (Line #1) figured out, most unknown is around holidays & start/finish of model year  :thinking: I need a few more pieces of the puzzle

 :thinking: @gaddied is your car the FT6 340 'cuda out of Wisconsin w/724 SPD?

if so, your car was "In Plant/In Process" 543 cars ahead of my Challenger R/T, close to your SPD (Friday 7/24/70) about a week before "END of PRODUCTION"

OK , this is what I found out.
July is the last month for the 1970.
My car was built in Hamtramck, MI.
123971 Car, Scheduled to be built July 1970 on the 24Day.
Thanks every one

Yup...my friend has an FT6 with tan interior, 440+6 Shaker Cuda...that he's going to paint yellow with black interior....hopefully he'll never get around to doing that....

I like the "odd" colors especially when the paint is fresh and new :drooling: I've always liked your car :bigthumb:
