Rare 1967 Mr. Norm's 383 4 speed dart

Chrysler has all the records for 67 cars, (not for 68s and up).

They have the IBM punch cards, aka buildcards, and if you send proof of ownership they will send you a copy along with a letter decoding it.

This includes everything a buildsheet and fender tag would include, (as they were made from the buildcard), and more, and it is more accurate.

So, if someone at Chrysler would go through the buildcards for 67 Darts and Barracudas, they would have a complete and accurate count of all cars built with the H code, body styles, transmissions, etc.

Anyone know someone who works at:

I have owned 3-67 GTS's and have been involved with a dozen or so including 2 convertibles. I have known about the 457 number for 32 years now and believe it to be true. I have also contacted Chrysler Historical several times on the cars I have owned and know about and they do not have every IBM card (or copies) produced for these cars. The 457 number includes the convertibles and there is no breakdown between the two. Plymouth indeed produced the big block A-Body's first but Norm did not use parts from one to build the Dart. I have used B-Body manifolds before and you have to grind a little off the driver's side to work but bolting up the exhaust pipe is still a pain.
