Build date

[Strato58]

Trying to find the build date on my F labeled 1970 broadcast sheet but can't find the damn thing anywhere. This is for a reproduction window sticker and it is hinting it should be a letter and 2 numbers. Can anyone point me to it. Thanks

Also is it possible to find out what dealer the car was sold from?

 

[R/T Boy 67]

The scheduled production date is the first three characters under the vehicle order number heading. The only letters would be A, B or C, for Oct., Nov. or Dec.

Mine is 304 and there are no letters? Would this be March 4th? The place that sells the window stickers is looking for a letter and 2 numbers? I attached the top of the broadcast. Any help is appreciated.

They didn't give you all the information.

R/T boy is correct. Follow his advice.

Yes. 304 is the first part of the Vehicle Order number and your scheduled production date.

Have you done your due diligence before you spend the money? Meaning have YOU researched what a correct window sticker should look like for YOUR car based on the time of year it sold, dealer information, etc?

Have YOU consulted with anyone that isn't interested in your money before you trust someone that is?

Most of the vendors are more interested in the accuracy of their invoice over the accuracy of your paperwork.

Read my first sentence again and ask yourself if this is the type of business where you should spend your money.

The car is fine and can stand on its own with that broadcast sheet. Go make a color copy and display the copy.

Nobody on planet earth can tell you the dealer your car came from. Unless it is a Mr Norms car.

Forget about making the fake window stocker, it will just bring the car down, not boost it up.

Thanks to all for their advise. Much appreciated!

Wow your car was built a day before mine at the same plant and close VIN numbers. Can I ask who’s doing repo window stickers? Would love to get one made

 

[Strato58]

Wow thats amazing! Give me more details about your car! Company is Triple A Enterprises. Window-sticker.com

Scheduled dates, and VIN assignments, are administrative in nature and not related to production.

His car was, very likely, built early, or before the SPD. Yours could have been weeks later.

On 67 and earlier cars, the Chrysler Historical report can tell you the dealer and shipped date for most cars I believe.

Also an original owners manual and certificard can have dealer info.

On my '66, the Chrysler Historical matched the dealer that was on my owners manual.

My SPD date is 427 (April 27, 1966), but the shipped date is June 2, 1966. And then the dealer delivery date written in owners manual is June 18, 1966.

Agree with all you state here. I was typing about his 1970 vehicle.

Yes. I put that there for anyone reading that might have a 67-earlier.

Also, it might give insight to show how the SPD and Build dates are obviously much different. I would assume that my car was built sometime the week before the shipped date of June 2, 1966? That's a month after the SPD date on the Data Tag. @69Coronetrt might have a better idea of that?

Unfortunately there are no Historical services for 68 and newer.

If you can document things like the shipped date, then, yes, you can absolutely form a more reasonable prediction of assembly. It might make a difference if the car was an ordered car or sales bank car. A sales bank car may have sat on the lot a little longer.

It's really hard to know when most cars were built. For pre door sticker cars, there are some tell tail signs of production IF you have things like broadcast sheets, invoices or ADSNs. Window stickers are dated but there can be different versions of the sticker making the print dates unreliable.

Sorry if this is getting off topic, but do you know on a '66 how could I tell if it was an ordered car?

I have fender tag, buildsheet and punch card.

Code 691

Code 691

I have 691 code. So that means it was ordered, correct?

The delivery date on the Owners manual is 6/18/66. Is that the date it was delivered to the owner? or delivered to the dealer?

 

[R/T Boy 67]

Yes it was ordered. Your punch card will have the shipping date, which is when it was shipped from the plant. I don't know about the date on the owner's manual.

Punch card from Chrysler Historical said June 2, 1966 was the shipping date.

So it was shipped form St Louis on June 2, 1966. And then picked up by the original owner on June 18, 1966 in Santa Ana (between San Diego and L.A.)

Sounds like the ordered car didn't sit at the dealer very long before the owner picked it up. BUT the interesting thing is the Son of the original owner bought a red 66 Barracuda Formula "S" at the same time!! I have pictures of both cars....they have consecutive license plate numbers !!!

The owner as that's when the warranty period would start.
