Bill, it does make sense to grab 50 in a row. But that could be an exception instead of a rule. I just don't know enough about the proceedures and hoped it would give people who do know more something to consider.
I'm pretty sure specialty cars like Challenger T/A's, Dodge Charger Daytona's, etc. were not sequential. But it would be interesting to find out how smaller runs of other special cars were done. (i.e.: '68 Hemi Cudas and Darts (they had VINs, didn't they?), the 383 Darts that Mr. Norm got and converted to 440s, aluminum-nosed cars from '64, etc.)

Terry,
If there were 57 Z-11's built by Chevrolet for the 1963 model year, why were they never legal for Super Stock (they weren't, back then.) It's been 46 years ago, and I frankly can't remember, so maybe the rule was for 100 cars built to be legal for S/S... but there weren't 100 '68 Hemi A body Barracudas built, and I don' think the Darts would fall under the same "umbrella," so that probably waan't the case. Maybe you'd remember, or Chuck, or Tony Janes... it just escape me. Sorry for the hijack, but I've always wondered why those Z-11's were forced to run F/X.

First thing would be to adjust the factor, 275 is pretty steep.

The best the Politician ran in 1966 was a 12.92, the best MPH was 105. Here's a slip that I got from Ralph Costa a couple of years ago. It has Ted's notes on it.

Alan,
A thought on the actual production numbers: Since these were built in 1966, Chrysler should still have the IBM Cards for these cars, correct? I believe they offer that service on cars up to 1967? I would talk to Darrell Davis and see if you or someone else could possibly make a trip to Chrysler Historical to go through the files. This could answer your question about VIN's, Production Numbers, and Shipping Dealers. Just my two cents. -Steve |

To put "how far we've come," into perspective, there's a 235HP 273 Valiant 2-door "post" running in Div. VI in K/SA that has run 12.0's (and, maybe quicker, by now), driven by Angela Bushmaker, daughter of longtime racer "WILLY B" Bill Bushmaker, a Seattle area Mopar devotee. I ~think~ Larry Hollums does the engine for that car. Dunno how much quicker it might go with the D-Dart mods, but it sure would be interesting to find out...
Bill
