Hello, to all group members, New Here
Thanks so much for all the kind words. I have been very happy with the way the car has cleaned up. As far as the engine compartment goes, I tried to go with all the correct mopar items, repo, and NOS. A couple of the items that are not right are the headers, and the Non-Mopar Heater hoses. I just couldnt bring myself to spending $60-$70 for heater hose.
As far as the build information. I sent Galen Govier color copies of my window sticker, build sheet, and pencil rubbings of my fender tag, and vin plate. He e-mailed me shortly after and stated he had good news. He stated that my car was built of the last day of production at the Hamtramck Plant, and was the highest vin# of any 69 Dart that he had seen in 30 yrs. Approx. 10 months later, YES I Said 10 Months, I got my paperwork. I got the Chrysler Registry, a report on a breakdown of options and color, and how many cars are know with these. This info provided stated (4) F6 Green cars are know of, and (1) F6 with the options on my car. This is just of cars registered in 30yrs worth of gathering info. vins, etc. for the database. Of course I think that his info. is only as good as the database can show. I think that numbers could change over time. Also I got paperwork that shows how many cars were build with each option available. It is a really good item to get if sending for info on a car. Example: It tells how many cars were built with say, door edge gaurds, Something like (22), Just some cool info. It does this for every options you could get on the 69 Dart.
The paperwork stated that 16,637 69 Dart Swinger 340 were built for U.S. specs, 8,834 4 Speeds & 7,803 auto.
Hope I did'nt rattle on too much. I will try to help anyone out on any numbers if I can. Thanks, Mark
