Chrysler assembly line workers!

We go on a cruise every year, last year I met a guy that worked for Chrysler from 1960 to 1990. I was telling me a story of a Hemi theft ring going on back in the mid 60s at Chrysler.

Any one else heard of this? Undocumented Hemi's may be out there somewhere


I was talking to a guy in Warren Truck plant once who used to drive the trucks off the line to the parking lot. They would have him park some trucks off to the side. Then found out later that a truck was found "up north" with a VIN number of another vehicle. They were making "duplicate trucks", two trucks with the same VIN and sneaking them out. He never knew who was involved, he just did what they told him to do and didn't question it. It turned out that all of the trucks that he was told to park off to the side were duplicate VIN trucks. They were building two identical trucks with the same VIN. The second ones were then being smuggled out "under the radar".

There easily could have something similar going on with Hemis.

In the mid 90's they caught a conspiracy going on at Toledo Assembly plant where people would order Cherokees as base model car (Laredo), but they were built on the assembly line as fully loaded (Country Editions) and the window sticker only reflected the price and options for a base stripped down model. So they got fully loaded cars at base model pricing.
