Proves that they are still out there waiting to be discovered. Ramcharger post car with an odd color combo I believe. Post some more pics up of that diamond in the rough.

Los Angeles assembly, that's the "e" in your vin. If I remember right, LA assy is least likely to have a broadcast sheet in the car , but it is sure worth looking for! Its like finding the mopar pot of gold, all questions answered, except original selling dealer. If it's basically been sitting for a lot of years, you might get lucky.
If you find it, let us know! Lots of decoding help here!

Nice find. Auto or manual? Similar story to mine as far as being stored since the late 70’s. Last registration and insurance on mine is 1978. Fortunately mine came with years of old documents. Unfortunately it sat in a wet barn near North Carolina!

Build sheets in California produced cars are rare from what I understand.

I tried to find an original road runner my father purchased new from Lansdale Chrysler Plymouth in PA. He custom ordered the car, but I did not have the VIN number. The dealership still exists, though they moved. They purged all their old information years ago. Struck out. Pic of car is from the third owner. Special order paint...believed to be B7. Platinum interior with decor package. 383 with 3.91 rear and heavy duty suspension/radiator. Would love to find this one.
