Re: 69 Charger Find
I think I can pinpoint the part of your confusion:
[ QUOTE ] The absence of a "C" in the /6 production numbers means there were NONE for these /6 Charger being discuss shipped to Canada. He indicates in his remarks that "E" indicates shipped export cars but there are none indicated throughout my book, and as I posted above may account for the missing figures YOU commented on. [/ QUOTE ] You are incorrect in inferring that a lack of detail on C or E numbers means there are none. Posted here for your perusal is what Galen has - it's a production figure report (in this case, for a 1969 Barracuda):  This list is for US-spec cars only. This is how Chrysler kept records. Were Canadian cars kept by Chrysler of Canada? Possibly, which is why it's so hard to find info on Canadian numbers, if not export numbers. If you're so sure that the lack of Canadian /6 numbers in the book means none were built for Canada, why didn't Galen indicate Canadian figures for every other car in the book? And have you noticed that the Canadian figures in the book are mainly Hemi cars? There are plenty of Mopar people who can back me up with this. You need to chalk this as one of those "Damn, I was mistaken all this time" episodes, which happens to me on occasion.

Re: 69 Charger Find
I'm not worried about the hijacked thread. My head is just spinning from these guys saying the same thing back and forth over and over. 1 of 200 and 1 of 250 is really the same thing if you ask me.

[/ QUOTE ] Not true look at the amount of "C" bodies that have Canadian production numbers. Does you more current book indicate any 1969 /6 Charger that show any designated "E" or "C" production numbers? Until you provide a CREDIBLE source that shows anything different I (and the rest of the hobby) will be accepting the recognized authority (GG) that HAS taken the time to publish what Chrysler had to offer on this subject.

Re: 69 Charger Find
I had as neighbor that worked for Chrysler in the 60's & 70's
When it was damp out his brand new company car would never start ... Imagine hearing the constant whirr of a Mopar starter on a cold dark morning until it wound down to rrrr rrr click That's the truth as I remember it and I don't care what they did in Canada ...
