Actual Production Date VS "Scheduled Production Date"

[ec_co]

Here you go Dan, talked to Cody not long ago and Dan would be interested in your car. I hear your the numbers guy so here goes. 1970 Dodge Challenger, SL6, 3-speed and power nothing. EK2 exterior, burnt orange interior. Fender tag, door Mylar, dash tag all share the same V.I.N. I bought it as a daily driver in early 1973. She rolled off the LA assy. line 818 (Aug. 18, 1969) sequence #113 (100113) pretty early I think, how about you? Then to a dealership somewhere in SoCal, maybe. I do know that according to my Cal registration it was not sold until April 22,1970.that was of course to whoever bought this car before me. Seems like it was a lot lizard for awhile.

pretty sure ours rolled out the same doors within a few days of each other. I wish we both had our broadcast sheets. my vin ends in COE100322 with an 820 SPD  love those little tidbits

My AAR SPD of 4/03 on broadcast sheet has a door sticker date of 3/70

with the recent eBay auction of a well documented AAR, I thought I'd bump this thread .....

BS23J0B292397 - SPD 402 = Thursday 4/2/70
engine assembly date - 3149 = 3/12/70
transmission assembly date - 3155 = 3/18/70
"In Plant/In Process" = Monday 3/23/70 EARLY

car would've had a "3-70" door sticker

wow - 3 months since my last post here

figuring when Christmas - '70 New Year break was is proving difficult - any broadcast sheets from Dec. '69 - Jan. '70 would be greatly appreciated,

Dan,

Based on the information you've collected thus far, is it possible to tell the difference in the SPD vs. Actual Production Date for 70 LA built Cuda's that do not have a broadcast sheet? I'm asking because that's the case with my Cuda...it is a LA car with a SPD of B21.

I see tavis has already given you my cars info. So you're saying it was scheduled on 825 but not started till 829? Or ginnished on 829? Mine is Jh23C0B107922.  Also would you have the dealer code for mount vernon motors in alexandria virginia? Paul page sold this car to annette wrights parents who gave it to her as a going to college gift. This car was on the road 915 which was earlier than they were supposed to be released to the public. The" sold car" code. Does that mean the dealership ordered the car or was it ordered by her parrents at the dealership?   Having a brain fart at the moment and need tp refresh my brain 😉

Would be cool to know what day my car was built

[Cuda Cody]

@6bblgt  do you have a good calendar of actual built dates for 1971 cars?

And great to see you post here @Radarlover

BS23H0B161615 , door sticker says 10/69. Tag on back seat has a date of 10/17/1969.  I have no legible build sheet so I'm just going to say it was completed on October 21, 1969... My birthdate  . Any help figuring out the real date would be appreciated.

Ok, how about this one...door vin/decal shows she was born 5/25.   This should be interesting.  Thanks for all you do!

@B5Cuda440-6  I haven't figured out LA "with a sheet" - it appears the sheet tell the car's start position on a day, but I don't see any clue to WHAT DAY?

with around 300 cars per day - I think LA had better control over scheduling/production and built them closer to their scheduled dates - but that's just a guess

best to check all the dated components & see how close to 11/21/69 they are - but another problem for LA is that some of the parts travelled from the other side of the country

@72fury  I believe the "date" I can determine is the FINISHED date - but it is not guaranteed that once started "In Plant" that it continued on schedule to that finish date, but since you have an August door sticker it couldn't have been any later - so confidence is high "FINISHED on 8/29".

the other post mentions Indiana - I do NOT have a dealer number for a MOUNT VERNON MOTORS in Virginia or Indiana?

I do have a MIDWAY MOTORS of NORTH VERNON, NORTH VERNON, IN dealer #64283 ?? 

Y14 = ORDERED - it could be dealer or customer - a clue would have to be on another document

@Radarlover any other documentation?  "SCHEDULED" is all the fender tag is going to tell us

@Cuda Cody I started one, but it is very early in the process - need more info, especially broadcast sheets from cars with original door decals

@Pentastarnut  right now I'd need that broadcast sheet, how much of one do you have?  is any of it legible?
