AWESOME! Thanks!

 

[ODZKing]

Got any pics of the car?

 

[Squirelly1]

Yep il take some. Its sitting still. This is the first year I have had a place to work on it thoroughly. I didn't want to start anything on it and tell I was committed. I don't want boxes of parts being lost and forgotten over the next 10 years because I never really was ready. Although that may happen anyway hahaha. You guys will probably just say that it looks awful LOL

 

[Squirelly1]

It was my dad's first car. He should have bought a 69 Road Runner. Lol... no just kidding. I am happy that it is a big block car at least other than that I think it's nothing real special.

 

[Squirelly1]

I pulled the backseat out and to my delight found the build sheet in really good shape. Then as fast as I was excited I was no longer excited. For whatever reason the build sheet is for a 73 satellite and not a charger. I was told by someone that back then they could have got the seats mixed up at the factory. If I can find the 73 satellite chances are possibly my build sheet is under his seat. I don't know that's a lot to ask. Just really really strange that it turned out like that. Everything on the car is original.

Yea it happens. Mine had 3 blank broadcast sheets with the original stacked under the carpet

Its special because of its history and its yours enjoy

 

[Bruzilla]

I doubt your sheet was a mixup at the factory. That's a Plymouth sheet in a Dodge car. I suspect the rear seat of the Charger was damaged and someone along the line pulled a seat from a Satellite and put it in as a replacement.

 

[Squirelly1]

Thats very poss as well.

 

[Rolling Thunder]

5th digits an M on fender tag and VIN plate?

 

[Squirelly1]

It is on the vin plate...not sure what line you are referencing on the fender tag....?

 

[YY1]

Some seat fabrics and patterns were common to both Dodge and Plymouth in 72-74.

Very possible a line worker grabbed a seat of the style and color called for without matching build sheet VINs.

I had the wrong sheet under the rear seat, but the right one under the front.

 

[Squirelly1]

Well someone maybe has a satellite and would love to have this build sheet...it was fairly optioned up and is in really nice shape.

 

[ODZKing]

Yes, 73 Satellite/Roadrunner rear, in fact all seats were the same pattern. Could have gotten swapped at a Dodge/CP dealer as it was ripped or something like that. I don't believe Sattys and Chargers were built in the same plant. I believe they were moved to Windsor in 73, could be wrong. Top row of build sheet does it say RP23 ?3R ... it's Windsor. G is St Louis.

Beautiful Big Block with History!
