=======================================================
Per the 'How many '69 500's were actually built?' thread post I made this morning I went ahead and started this as a Google Doc. It is meant to be 'open source', meaning I've done about 2 hours of adding to it and I don't plan on making it my life's work, so you are all welcome to edit this document. Or not. I've suggested a layout, give it a try. If it doesn't work, tweak it. All the information I gathered was pretty much DC/moparts/and car for sale sites - pretty public.
The Rules:
1. Do not share owner information - no names, phone numbers, or addresses more specific than a state. This includes previous owners. This is about documenting Charger 500's, not the owner.
2. Information posted should be of the publicly available sort. It should be info acquired by internet searches, viewing at car shows, car ads, forum postings by owners, etc. If in doubt get the owner's permission before posting.
3. Only change information you know to be incorrect. Only add info you know to be correct. No hearsay or 'I guy I know told me...' stuff, try to have photo resources, research, or first-hand knowledge of what is being posted. Post photo links and source links if you can.

Good luck with the Registry! I locked the first line of the document so you can see the title of the column when you scroll down....my contribution! ;)
That's a great start. Hopefully it catches on. I think something to add would be contact info....just in case say an original engine, tranny, broadcast sheet etc was found? Just a suggestion. That could be optional.

:coolgleamA: great stuff !! ( Homerr ) :2thumbs: :cheers: :popcrn:
Thank you Homerr
This is a really cool. :2thumbs: I've always thought there should be a public registry like this for c500's I can see my future 500 in there.
Lots of Hemi cars listed as 440 cars in that list.
Thanks everyone. But I'm serious too about just getting it going. I don't want ownership of this one, it's public. I'll check to see if cars that I come across are on it, but that's about it for my involvement. Go ahead and add to it if you'd like.
Thanks for the catch 69_500, I fixed the J code cars. Speaking of, it already is looking like the Hemi cars were done in batches.
I tweaked my entry slightly. Adding sold from dealer and where it is today (Charlotte).
Very cool idea.
You are missing this one I think. From the Wellborn Collection at Mecum. Maybe someone on the board knows the VIN

Homerr,

What are you going to do with the known 68 Charger 500 and the possible 2nd 68 500 VINs XS orXX29J8B360711 E74 red white XS or XX29J8B360719 E74 black black?
Kowal, yeah I couldn't find a VIN on that one. Several blue ones listed already, which one is yours?
500Jon, that's sort of the point in a way - to figure out the real VINs and provide a public list for buyers/sellers/researchers to match against. :cheers:
BTW, in the interests of disclosure - my motivation here is to see if a public registry works. There is the 500 controversy about how many cars were built and 392 is a small-ish data set to start with. And I don't ever think I'll own a 500 as I like the non-aero 2nd gens, I'm socking away $ for one.

Uhh, honestly I don't even know about those cars. I'll let someone who is more of an expert figure if/how they each fit in to the spreadsheet.
I love the aero section stories and pics, but I'm a real novice at this level of knowledge about them.

'138602
XX29L9B238077 is another RK sold car.
I updated the spreadsheet based on the info in their sold section. I remember seeing this car in Detroit for a bit, then I think it was sold, the owner at that time is a member here.

I have to look at my VIN an add it. Great idea!
99 and counting!
Who's gonna be the 100th to join the list?
Happy New Year to Charger 500 Folks!!! :2thumbs:
I just saw on me tv the mod squad jump of a charger 500 hood in a junk yard. :popcrn:
100-UP!
Maybe by next Christmas it will be 200-UP?
Happy New Year 500-Folks..............
Very cool, thanks for putting this together. Updated my 500's info, glad to see some info for my car listed that I don't believe I've ever put out there previously...
I bet we hit 200 before spring
I am waiting on replies from multiple people before updating the list. If they all say yes I could push it much higher than 200.
Is there a way to have that automatically put the vins in order numerically using just the last 6? It's all over the place now... :shruggy:
Most programs have a "sort' function, but I have not used this version before so I am not familiar with it.
If the VINs were 'split' into the prefix in the first column, then the last six in the second column a sort feature could hopefully be used to sort them by VIN order.
As it is now, if there is a sort feature the engine codes would separate the 440s & Hemis from each other.
Otherwise, if that is not an option this program does have an 'insert' feature, so 100002 as an example could be inserted between 100001 & 100003 if those numbers were on the list.

That'd be great! :2thumbs:
Ok guys, I'm gonna step in for a sec....
1. Line 1 was unlocked and moved to the bottom, I'm putting it back at the top and locking it.
2. I've split the VIN in to two columns for formatting. There are probably more advanced ways to sort by digit position but that's beyond my ability and it might be easier for now to K.I.S.S. If you run the cursor over a column head (A, B, C, etc.) there is a little down arrow that shows, then you can 'Sort sheet A-Z' to clean up the order. Sorting Column B will now sort the sequnce part of the VIN. XS29 cars will be in order and not at the top as well. Thanks Alaskan_TA for the suggestion!
Your correct Danny, you could easily push the number over 200
The old club had lists .In my ads theres vins in certain states

You do not need to worry about Danny...he has the confidence of many.
Registries are excellent sources of information about entire runs of cars. I can see a security concern with sharing your VIN, but perhaps he could substitute it for a unique ID that only he would be able to match up? Of far more interest is the configuration of your motor, transmission, interior and exterior colors.
If THAT is more than you'd like to share, perhaps he could that information above along with others to get aggregate data... ie, let's say you have an F8/F8 440 auto car (it's a common combination that I just totally made up.) Cars with more information shown would be listed, while cars owned by people demanding more privacy could just be added to the totals. Say there are (again, invented) 37 F8 cars going onto the registry...there could be a change in the total to 38 at the bottom of the spreadsheet.
It's your car but please consider sharing what you're comfortable with for the sake of accuracy.
No means no, I assume Danny will keep his word
you do realize YOU shared your vin yourself?
And that was one of my points about some of the difficulties registries face.

What a dumb ass comment - I wouldnt give Danny my info. until he assured me he wouldnt be sharing it .
Is it true that this list is just to list cars that are known to exist?
Or is it intended to account for all the cars that we can? A car that is known to have been scrapped for example---would (or should) the vin for that car be on the list?--IMO a listing of known dead cars has value on a list like this.
I can see a bit of struggle with questions like this but by no means should the idea be scrapped when it gets more complicated. Corrections and adjustments can be made as it becomes more complete. :cheers:
BTW the vin for my car is on the list and I have much less problem with that than the fact that I have a license plate on the back of my car and I drive it around in public for all to see. That information can be used more readily to learn every thing about me and perhaps lots of stuff I'd like to know about myself. :smilielol:

It's only a vin, I don't see the harm it sharing it. I understand not wanting to share owner info, as I wouldn't want to be bothered by people about my car, or worry about people knowing where I live and keep my car. My vin is already on the list, and I've also posted picts of my fender tag and build sheet on this site too. :Twocents:

i doubt anyone was going to share it, especially danny, but it was most definitely posted by you.
who is the dumb ass now?
the purpose of a list like this is to know how the cars were built 46 years ago. not one damn thing has to do with who owns them now.
i don't have a 500, so i will use the daytona as an example. the fender tag reads as follows
26 EN2
G15 M21 M31 R11 V88 Y39
A01 A11 A36 B51 C16 C55
B5 B5 C6D B7 605 926912
E86 D32 XX29 L9B 409053
that is every piece of info that a database for daytonas would ask for. no ownership info past or present, nor the car's location at any point in time, is revealed by the codes on that 45 year old piece of tin.
it is every owner's right to choose how they look at the hobby. thankfully most are interested enough to help compile an accurate history.

:2thumbs: :2thumbs: This can work well if we keep at it and address the glitches as they come up.
Arrow, I will not give out any car info unless I have been told that I can. There are multiple cars I have been told to not mention.
I realize the reason I have been able to locate and track so many of the 500's is due to not releasing a lot of these things. It has allowed me a pretty big database. And for that I am grateful.
Happy New Year to all.
arrow,
It sounds like 69_500 is not only adhering to the rules that I set in the first post, but he is also adhering to agreements he made with you personally. There is no need to link a VIN to your name and not the intent of the registry.
held1823 & richRTSE,
We get it, but would you mind removing the info about arrow? If it was posted in the forum I'd say it could be included as a VIN in the registry, but let's not use this thread to link owners to a car unless they do it themselves. I'd rather this not be a place for antagonizing owners. It sets a bad precedent.
ws23rt,
The intent was to register all 392 cars (or more if there are any). So, yes, wrecked/scrapped/totalled cars are to be counted. There is a column category named 'Fate'. If you have the VIN and know what happened to the car posting the info would be great!
Hi 500 Folks,
Large Can of Worms opened up here!
If Certain Folks are saying that they have no VIN on trunk rails and Rad supports, I see it as a green light to potential Fraudsters!!! :scratchchin:
Thats way tooo much info already............
Just keep it simple methinks. Vin and order numbers, car in existance and current condition maybe?
If you know of a scrapped 500 then get the Vin on here asap.
Yes there is a constant worry about Theft and Fraud, but some Folks don't need a database, they just need a GUN and some drunk mates!!!
Just watch World's dumbest criminals or World's craziest FOOLS!!! :slap:
The A12 guys have had a registry for years, with VIN's, no names or addresses, I don't believe there was ever a problem.
Somebody sees your car at a car show or cruise, photo of the VIN and the license plate and they know everything about you! (That is one of the reasons that I use a vintage plate on the car, no need to tell anyone where to follow me home to!)
The fender tag could be a bit much, but unlike an A12 car it isn't like a Charger 500 is easy to clone.
Here are the A12 links
http://a12mopar.com/yabb/YaBB.pl (Their forum, which is quite good and very technically orientated)
http://sixpacksixbbl.homestead.com/registry.html (The VIN list)
http://sixpacksixbbl.homestead.com/index.html (The registry home page)
Just look at all the cars at shows that keep the hood closed or if its open there is no fender tag. Then note how many of those cars have conveniently placed something on the dash over the VIN.
You guy's have nothing to worry about with 69_500.

:iagree:
Some people such as Danny have been allowed to see / document very rare cars because it is known by the owners that their cars information / photographs will be kept in confidence and not displayed for the world to see. Doors open sometimes when people request to see cars for the right reasons and not for personal gain. There is a difference between documenting and publicly displaying a car.
I have no problem with releasing any known info on my C500, including my name. That being said, anyone that would not trust Danny with aero car info, has never sat down and talked with him about these cars for any length of time.

i will not entirely remove my post. my first comment toward arrow made no mention of a vin, but simply pointed out that WHEN, not if, his car made it on the list, it was via information he posted himself. rich is apparently more forgiving than i am, but arrow's attitude made it clear that he would blame danny if the vin surfaced, and i will not allow that to happen. had arrow not fired back with the "dumb ass" comment, the vin would still be buried in the ancient threads. there was no intent to antagonize arrow, and any bad precedent was set by his asinine remarks and stance towards a registry that would provide answers that even he has expressed interest in over the years. removing the vin now serves no purpose; it is already out there and should be on the list.
danny has spent countless hours and untold dollars to amass the c500 database that he possesses. not once has he broken a vow to keep information private, and this thread serves as proof of danny's integrity. the thread also speaks volumes about arrow. it is a sad situation when danny would share his knowledge with the hobby at no cost, especially in light of the fact that the most important document of all, the factory c500 list, is in the hands of someone who will take it with them to the grave. we expect no less from gg, but it is an absolute pity that owners like arrow hinder keeping c500 history accurate and complete.
since rich has already removed the original quote that showed the number, i will edit the screen shots to remove them as well, but i refuse to remove the evidence that exonerates danny. this edit could allow for the vin to remain on the database list without identifying who owns it. it's not like the existence of a c500 with this vin has been a secret the last few years.
knowledge of VINs has lead to rampant fraud, theft and pestering of car owners worldwide - NOT! :brickwall:

Arrow, no apology needed. I know there are several cars in my list I am not at liberty to share anything about. And those cars are marked in my list and I exclude them anytime I make mention of totals and such.
Hope everyone is having a good 2015.
My personal feelings on the list on Google is that it should probably be limited to just VIN and not show entire fender tag info.
The Shelby Registry has made ownership history an available bit of information (where possible) almost from day one. Combined with the car history (was it destroyed, rebodied, etc) it has helped the Shelby owners immensely. Truth is, rather than assist fraud it has prevented a lot of it. It's a touchy subject though, I'll admit that even with being the steward for the 69 Registry I don't know that I would be comfortable with publishing the VIN and location of my own car and it isn't even a particularly unusual or valued 69.
100% Danny. The fender tag info isn't required for the public at all.
I had saved this off the internet many years ago...Galen's 181 "known" list....my 500 was not on there

i respect both of you guys a great deal, but disagree with two things here.
1 - being forced to exclude known cars from a total is the very essence of incomplete information. i know WHY you have to do it, but that doesn't make it suck any less.
2 - a great deal of interest revolves around option codes - how many were built with what equipment. vin lists are cool, but do not answer anything. the fender tag shows how a car left the factory over four decades ago, and nothing more.
the charger sitting here is probably a desirable one, and i've not lost one minute of sleep worrying about it disappearing in the night. i have, however, found a bit of joy in adding its codes to help create an accurate and more complete hobbyist database. what good is our knowledge if it passes away with us?
diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks, i guess.
I love the idea and added XX29L9B239388. I will edit my Fender tag info later.
Here is how I see the adding of fender tag info.
On my car,I could care less if anyone knows the fender tag info, as I park it at every show with the hood up for the world to see. However I do not feel comfortable publishing other people's fender tag info unless I have been given the ok to do so.
Ernie, I understand where your coming from on wanting to know how many of what color and such. In the thread I started about 500's I have posted this kind of info. IE how many of what color exterior, how many Hemi, and how many 4 speed and such. What I did not do in that thread was point out exactly which ones they are. So a person could see that I have say 34 R4 cars, but they do not know which ones in the list they are.

Yes, same thing with the 69 Registry. I can tell at a glance how many had which options and with a little work see how many were grouped in various ways. This info can be graphed and its something I'm trying to put together for the website. What you won't see are SO numbers, locations, owners, or VINs. Maintaining privacy helps to establish trust with the people who are really opposed to sharing their info and so hopefully encourages them to participate so that the information that can be used comes forth.
Nice one Arrow, takes a real man to apologise, especially when you ain't done nowt wrong!
No more talk of right and wrong is needed, just add to the list or don't!!! :2thumbs:
Once more than 200 Folks are on there, the others will follow!
The mystery of C500's live on and this thread proves it!!!
Supersonic work by RICH!!!
GG's list out in the open albeit outta date now.

again, i understand WHY you "official" guys cannot share some information. i agree 100% that owner names and locations should not be disclosed. however, i disagree 100% that vin and so numbers have any connection whatsoever with identifying an owner. these numbers got the car down an assembly line, period. even so, there are still owners like you state, whose unfounded paranoia dictates how the information is used.
i haven't fooled with it for a few years, but i have a decent start on a database for the daytonas. there is nothing in it to identify a single owner, past or present. it is simply a list of cars and options as they left the factory. what this information has to do with anyone's privacy is beyond me, since not a single person even owned one of the cars at that point. in reality, the information i have gathered does me no personal good - i know the entire history of my car from day one, but keeping this information locked away on my hard drive does no one any good. i will fix this dilemma by years end, hopefully with the help of fellow enthusiasts, but alone if need be. i will not let this work pass away with me, in the end.
Well said Ernie!!! :2thumbs:
Paranoia is the problem here as with any ownership of anything with rarity and desire!
Once the C500 list becomes established the problem will ease I'm sure.
My C500 was already a victim of a Fraud by an unscrupulous person.
A whole new Daytona was faked and sold using my Vin, lack of knowledge and info allowed it to happen.
That would be laughable now as we all know that Daytona Vin's are totally different to the earlier C500's.
Build dates, order numbers etc, etc etc...........
Knowledge is good not BAD!!!
The internet has changed everthing, hopefully forever!!! :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

i haven't fooled with it for a few years, but i have a decent start on a database for the daytonas. there is nothing in it to identify a single owner, past or present. it is simply a list of cars and options as they left the factory. what this information has to do with anyone's privacy is beyond me, since not a single person even owned one of the cars at that point. in reality, the information i have gathered does me no personal good - i know the entire history of my car from day one, but keeping this information locked away on my hard drive does no one any good. i will fix this dilemma by years end, hopefully with the help of fellow enthusiasts, but alone if need be. i will not let this work pass away with me, in the end.
Second, my take is that as we can show more and more VIN's without any side-effects that some owners that may hold back their VINs will come forward. Give it some time.
Lastly, the fender tag info is optional. I included it since it was in pics of cars advertised on the internet. I agree that it is just documentation and doesn't provide any unique identifiers to an owner (unless they want it to via posts elsewhere). Maybe in 20 years the VIN list and fender tag will info will be as complete as it ever can be.

First, I'm happy the thread is back on track.
i missed the part where it went off track, but that's nothing new
As an aside, my personal reason for not revealing SO numbers in the 69 database is because that tidbit can make it just a little easier for the clone crowd or someone wanting to "recreate" a fender tag that already exists somewhere. ;)
And we aren't completely cruel here, we insist you finish your supper before going to your room. (but don't even think about dessert or coming down later for a snack Mr. :nono: )

Thanks to richRTSE posting the GG list, we're now up to 217 cars!
edit: deleted 2 dupes due to formatting errors.
Danny... do you have this one on your list: XS29L9B210714? Buildsheet located here http://www.superbirdclub.com/membersmopars.html
Slow down Homerr!
At this rate there will be 300 by the end of the year LOL... :2thumbs:
Well done to everyone in compiling this list for the Ginger-haired stepson's of the Mopar World! :nana:
Happy New Year and C5oo's are COOLIO!!! :notworthy:

Wonderful work Homerr!!! :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs:
You is da MAN!!! :notworthy:
The list grows every day and no record of scrapped/extinct cars yet?
I thought there were a couple on there?
Maybe this thread should be sticky so it is seen by visitors?
going over the list I noticed 238099 was listed and counted twice?
Theres some more 500 vins on this older post http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,85583.0.html
All I have is the Motor for one .. It seems to be listed but have never been able to find the car....Maybe the car owner will Find me NOW!!! :cheers:

Awesome Hemi there XS29J!!!
How did it get separated from the 500?
What's the casting date, I'm guessing March/April 68?
Manual or Auto?

If you get tired of waiting let me know. It's 6 digits off of my car. I would take it off of your hands.
The motor came in this yellow 440 bird I owned in 1999 took the motor out and sold the bird for 28K! One of my big mistakes...

Not so fast, I have 224394. Only 5 away... :boogie: :boogie: :boogie: :boogie:
For the "500" and its motor to get separated I'd think it might have been wrecked early on ..
Great thread! Thanks to the OP for the registry and this thread! :2thumbs:
Hi Excess29J.
Done worse things myself if that makes you feel any betta!
Sold a sixpack 69 Bee for £2500.
Sold a 70 383 4-speed Cuda for £3800.
But my biggest regret is not buying a Petty-Blue bird in 1999 for £5000!!!
Makes you Bird sound a tad more expensive LOL!!! :2thumbs:
Keep your fingers crossed and the God of Mopars may reward you with a C500 roller with a 224399 vin attached!!! :2thumbs:
NEVER SAY NEVER... :dance:
Just a housekeeping note on the last 10 or so VINs added. They were input as a single cell with spaces added so they looked correct, but weren't sorting right. The VIN is split in to two columns, the first 7 digits and then the last 6 so the overall VIN sequence sorts numerically. I corrected this. Please tab between the columns next time.
But in any case thanks :2thumbs: for adding the info.
Ok so I finally had time to sit down and go through the list that is posted online. I have a few questions for people who have posted on there. And if you would rather PM me or email it would be fine.
I just have a few questions about the following cars
XX29L9B156045
XX29L9B210549
XX29L9B224391 its listed as both a HEMI and a 440 in registry page
XX29J9B224402
XX29L9B231992
XX29L9B236610
XX29L9B238077
XX29L9B238098
Those were the only ones I had a question about as far as the ones that have already been posted.
There are many more 500's that are known, but just not at liberty to post their information. Out of obligations I have given to people over the years. And if they said no, they said no. That is their choice. For the ones who said I could update their info I have updated a few. Others I was just told I could put VIN on there but nothing more.

So, do you use some kind of place holder to tally up the total ?

Danny, there are 244 cars listed on this registry and you know of many more that you are not at liberty to list. What would your educated guess be of the total C500s built and how many would you estimate still exist?
69_500, besides still existing how many total VINs have you accounted for on your list?

224402 might be an error, just found the vin in a charger sunroof discussion as XS29L9B224402...
http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php?topic=109801.25 (http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php?topic=109801.25)
I did find a picture I had saved as XX29J9B224402 though, anyone recognize it? :shruggy:
My entire list contains 291 numbers currently.
Driving right now but that looks like 138602 in that picture. After its restoration. Again I am driving and reading all this when stopped in traffic so do not shoot me if I am off.
My list contains 11 broadcast sheets to cars I have yet to locate. As well as 3 that are known to have been scrapped.
Looked at picture again. 224401 I believe was B5 car that Galen Govier had in the 80's. Might be that one.
XX29J9B224401 B5/C6D Charger 500 HEMI auto 4.10 car Galen, Ron Slobe, Pete in Ohio all former owners
XS29L9B224402 Y4/CRX Charger R/T SE 440 auto 4.10 sunroof car
Danny, other than myself do you know of any other original owners ?
DonMoody is an original owner of a Hemi 500 that still has his car.
Sorry Ernie but I made a typo when I was asking about cars.
XX29L9B238097 is what I was meaning not 077. 077 was a board members car. Have seen it several times.
no worries. sadly i have zilch on that one

Side note as well. I had Gordons car logged as being 231998 not 231992. Can anyone confirm if the last digit to his VIN is a 2 or an 8? I had it listed as an 8.
the tag photo isn't large enough to blow up clearly, but i think you are right, it does look more like an 8 (compared to the ones in the v88 code) than a 2.
:scratchchin: I think it's an "8" :icon_smile_big:
Nice rivets.
Thanks. The only time I saw Gordon car there was a paper on the dash. So I got pictures of the car and fender tag but never one of the dash plate. I had it wrote down as being an 8.
Here's pics I have of a car & a partial VIN that's not on the list. Does it look familiar to anyone. It appears to be a legit car, but is the VIN legit? XX29L9B171xxx
& another ??? XX29L9B155758 (with a note "FAKE 500 was XP29G9B155758")
Meaning fake 500 is now a fake Daytona??
There's a whole lotta Faking going on!!!

I recently found this web site and I am in possesion of a 727 auto tranny part number 2892094 and it has a full vin# of XX29J9B220089 I know it is from a Charger 500 with a Hemi and was wondering if there is anyway of telling if this car still exsist? I would like to return it to the original car if possible. I got the tranny out of Alabama while trying to find my original missing transmission so maybe the car was originally there at some time.
If anyone knows of the car or can lead me to the rightful owner I would appreciate it.
It was on e bay as a project car in Texas once, but??... :shruggy:

Well it appears it will take me about fifteen years or more to get back all of the information I lost on 500's when my external hard drive crashed yesterday. Lost all pictures and database.
Been there. Sometimes I think that actual pictures and paper documents is sometimes better. Hope you can somehow recover your info.
Thats horrible Danny, hopefully it can be recovered. I try to keep the 69 Registry backed up over a couple of drives but a paper copy is maybe a good idea too now after reading that.
I pay for Dropbox and Flickr...
Danny have you contacted any of the hard drive recovery places either around you or on line? It's a couple hundred bucks minimum (and it will be higher) but when our server crashed at work they got back more than 70% of our data.
We bought a Seagate Blackarmor RAID drive after that.
There are free programs that can recover some/most of what is on a drive if it can spin up and mount. If you don't know what you are doing get someone that does to help out. I've done this many times for others and usually it has pretty good results.
http://www.easeus.com/datarecoverywizard/free-data-recovery-software.htm
But overall for $50-60/year something cloud based like Mozy, Crashplan, or even a free Dropbox account are much better options than a physical drive.

Added XS29L9B210699, 18 spline trans is at Brewers. It's in line with other Charger 500's so the VIN should be XX.
If you don't have some type of confirmation that specific XS VIN is actually a Charger 500, it should NOT be added. There are plenty of gaps in the Charger 500 VIN #s during the production run.
I'll check when I get home, but for some reason I think that car may already be in the database as an RT. (which also is not definitive, I'm just saying there may be some more info I can add to shed light on that one) (or not)
This is the problem with an open data base. It's better than nothing, but it should be consulted with skepticism.

Thanks for posting tallzag, but I've removed this one. There is no proof of this one being an XX, really the contrary as you posted it is an XS. During the production run of the 500 the range of VIN numbers ranges well over 100,000 for all models.
Quote4. Only change information you know to be incorrect. Only add info you know to be correct. No hearsay or 'I guy I know told me...' stuff, try to have photo resources, research, or first-hand knowledge of what is being posted. Post photo links and source links if you can.
Okay, I got a chance to check finally and that Brewers trans number is in the 69 Registry but I can't shed any other light on it. I have it in there with a question mark because it does very definitely fall in line with a group of 500's with sequential vins but I have no other information on it. My personal opinion is that there is a very good chance it is a 500 but with no other info it just can't be claimed as such. Hopefully one day more information on this one will come to light and it get be placed firmly in one column or the other.
No one else has mentioned it yet, but the engines and trans that were "XS" were restamped with an "X" over the "S", so other than a possible exception or 2 that may have slipped through, I'd say it's not likely it's from an XX car... :Twocents:
On any SPD the VIN's for a certain model (X in this case, Charger) are always in order of the VON, so since the Charger 500's had a unique VON if you have a car before it and after it that are known Charger 500's then even though the VIN is listed as XS it should be a Charger 500 on the VIN from Brewer's, FYI.
I agree^
the way VINs were assigned all 1969 Hamtramck cars with VINs from 9B210696 to 9B210760 should be Charger 500s (65 cars), but this is the math that probably leads to GG showing 580 US spec. Charger 500s. :shruggy:
I agree too but its one of those things where you should not just assume. We have to know.
heres mine XX29L9B155997
I went thru the "REGISTRY", and although as said one can't ASSUME all the cars that were assigned VINs actually got built - it appears:
There are at least 24 groups (of 4 or more) of sequential VIN'd Charger 500s & 30 "loose" VINs - totaling 534 cars.
Barring a typo or transposed numbers 9B210699 was a 4-spd Charger 500 & IMO should be included on this informal "no proof" provided REGISTRY.
cars on the REGISTRY that are "suspect":
9B160610 ***** typo is actually 9B110610
9B165009 ***** transposed numbers is actually 9B156009
9B21710x ***** WAG is one of the 9B217157-9B217202 cars

Without this voluntary registry there have been a few with a lot of knowledge and a lot of people with very little. It'd be great if all 500, Daytona, & Charger owners provided 100% of the documentation to a national registry. But they don't, and this is what we have for now. YMMV.
Before seeing it here on a spreadsheet I, for one, didn't really understand the groups. There looks to be a high likelihood that you're correct. Let's continue to fill in the gaps with known cars and it should become more and more clear which VIN's are missing and most likely cars that were actually built but just not recorded here.
Ideally, over time, we'll have pics of VIN's etc. as proof....I have some ideas about this I'll try out.

You're probably right here on both of these, I appreciate your critical look at the list. It has needed it. For now I've added your correction under the Notes column and highlighted these lines.
I've done most of the data entry for this and I'm not going to claim to be 100% error-free. And the bulk of the VIN's come from pictures of hand typed lists, I also could have perpetuated an old typo. Maybe even one that had later been corrected but that I haven't seen. I should really find the source material for this whole list and keep screenshots.

Doing a search I see your post on January 20, 2015 in this thread notes this. I take a look at this thread regularly but I took your post then as correcting the item so I didn't check it out. Feel free to correct items that are known to be wrong. I'm removing this one. Though, it is interesting to note that it could be the 'bookend' for the XX29J9B224401 group.

WAG is "Wild Assed Guess". ;)
220077 had a vinyl top on it in 1975. it was a factory air car, column automatic. Joe Machado took some pictures of it back in the day, he (or Sean) may still have them.
Registry Update
1. You may have noticed that I've started adding tabs at the bottom of the spreadsheet for documentation on each car by VIN. The goal is to have some sort of documentation on every car out there or even pics of destroyed cars.
2. I've gotten feedback from a couple people about the open-source nature of the registry. It'll still be open-source and still all visible, but moderated. I've sent out a few invites for moderators. I'll update the original post as they are added with who they are so info can be forwarded.
3. Anyone can still comment on any cell and leave notes for the moderators to address.
Just a note that RallyeMike is now a moderator on the registry.
He and I met up this past weekend at the Mopars Unlimited show in Everett, Wa. (just north of Seattle). It was nice meeting you Mike!
Aero426 now added as a moderator. :2thumbs:
Shameless plug........ Anyone have a C500 for sale? in the 50-ish area?
Ghoste is now a moderator. :2thumbs:
XX29L9B155997 is an f8 green and green inside with 440 auto and power steering and no air, car is gutted and no fender tag so i have to guess on anything else it would have, Thanks for adding to your list David
How do I need to go about submitting updated photos of 238084? Also, we have original paperwork from Grand Spaulding. On the registry, it says grainy photo of the fender tag. I can send a new clear photo.

I'm working on the photo issue, I'll follow up with you when I have it all figured out.
Homerr, you still is the MAN!!! :2thumbs:
All your good work has grown the the C-500 list to 300, which is truly wonderful!
The forgotten stepson of the Nascar World has become a slow, but sure, Legend... :coolgleamA:
I am one proud owner of a super-rare 440 4-speed car and feel that after 45 years, its now nearly famous (again)!!! :cheers:
The possible winner of Dega-69, the Charger 500's are beginning to get their true place in Mopar history, at LAST!!! :slap:
More wins than Daytona's and much easier to park at the Qwiky-Mart lol...

Just an update. Still working on recovering all my data from the crashed hard drives. Yes it was more than one. I have my complete list back, due to it being backed up on 6 hard drives. Pictures of all the cars I have taken is a different story. They were mainly on a 2 TB hard drive and another 5TB drive. Both are frozen up.
Side note, spoke to Galen and he says he has broadcast/fender tag info for 255 cars.
That's (partial) good news Danny.
Seriously, though:
http://www.code42.com/crashplan/
List now stands at 299 VINs (taking out a couple of possible typ-o ones).
Photographic evidence of 54 cars now linked.
Thanks to everyone that has sent/posted info and pics!
I have more in the works...
I've just done a full audit of the spreadsheet and compared fender tags to typed in info - added dates, expanded ext/int color verbiage where I could, and fixed a number of typo's which were probably mostly mine to start with.
If you have any additional information you'd like added or have pics of a car please send them to:

Good job. Coming along fast. I would suggest rather than tag lines all in one cell...give each possible tag option a cell and denote if a car had that option with a 1. You will be able to quickly identify options codes and do fast calculations.

Well, the data is still in its infancy. Out of 299 cars listed only 115 have an exterior color listed. Of those 3 are Y2 yellow.

Funny really, how about F6 or plumb crazy? The next owner 1 or 30 yrs from now can just repaint it for X cost right... and a harder sell, imo. What is wrong with a 500 in original color of Y2 and black combo anyway. If roughly 1/2 are green or red... the yellow is actually quite uncommon :shruggy: :Twocents:
Where is that silver blue interior hemi 500 photos that was for sale into the six figures some yrs back in FLA? Was visiting with a friend recently and could not find any (in my stack). That was a cool 500...
Out of those two, I would go Y2.
Would love to see a 500 in RR1 Burgundy :popcrn:
Silver 500 with blue interior is on east coast. Owner is a very nice guy.

Allen, I would go with the Y2 with the chrome magnum 500's ( 15x7's front, 15x8's rear ). The chrome magnums will give the yellow some bling and the car a great stance. Plus, there are way more B5's than Y2's.... Just my :Twocents:
Thanks Troy, I'm leaning that way.
Y2 is not a bad color Allen. It's not odd of a color. Off the top of my head I can think of 11 Y2 500's I have seen over the years.
I like yellow to.
Thanks Al for the photos!

Agreed! No one lives forever. I hate to see this info disappear when the owner of the documents passes on.
Anyone know numbers on a C500 440 auto with vinyl tops? Were these dealer add ons or did Creative do them?
Nobody knows for sure how many because of the limited info on car options and configurations. Known examples of vinyl top cars can be counted on one or two hands, and they all appear to be dealer-installed.
last I heard was 6 from GG when he looked at my car
Hi C500 Folks,
I have met GiGi many times over the years and he seems a fine Chap to me.
How about we all 'club' together and see how much it will cost to BUY his LIST!
When I see him at the Spring Fling, I will ask him if he is open to a DEAL???
Or maybe someone who knows him better should ask, as I don't think he likes LiMeYs.
He certainly wouldn't sell me a Daytona in 1990, no matter how much I begged him...
25 years later it still haunts me, now it seems, the one and only chance to get one, and he turned me down.
''I'm not selling any Wingcars to you overseas idiots who will race them in Demo-derby''... :shruggy:
No let me re-think my PLAN, lets just go round his house and ask for it, for FREE!!!
What use is it to HIM, he ain't even got a WINGCAR or a C500... :smilielol: :smilielol: :smilielol:

I have located a total of 11 so far that had dealer installed vinyl roofs.
Ok, thanks for the info. I bought one that was supposedly vinyl topped, but since the tags are pretty screwy for these cars I was skeptical. I have no dealer documentation for it, so I currently have to figure out if i want to put the top on without facts to back it up, or leave the top off.
Pm me a picture of the tag if you do not mind. Or email it.
My 500 is 224393.

The tag or build sheet wont show the vinyl top. The only things you might have as proof would be dealer paperwork or an old photo. I'd suggest contacting member "5hunert" here who has a vinyl top 500 where all the clips and trim are still there, but the top has been removed. It would be great resource to see how these were done and if yours looks similar. It might help you decide if yours is the real deal, and if you want to put it back on.

I just noticed too and fixed the link. I updated this one to be similar in layout to the Daytona.
Thanks!
Homerr, I REALLY need to update the restoration post on the 500 that I restored (283084) so that the registry list will have updated photos of the car and documentation. I finished the car last summer and it turned out nice.

There is a thread I did breaking down all of that info for 500's. I will search for it later. Top of my head I can think of 14 SE and 5 of those have AC too.
My 500 is an S.E. with A/C.
If everyone filled in everything they knew then maybe anyone could look this up! :icon_smile_tongue:

Thanks Danny. I was recently asked this and went to the registry I found 7 that had SE listed in comments. I am surprised so many SE models were made, since originaly they were going to be limited to 426 four speeds.

Sorry to say but that will not happen. Too many people have confided in me info on cars that have not been on radar screen for 30+ years. So I will honor their requests and not post the info for those cars.
I know Danny, that wasn't aimed at you. I know you've only posted what you can.
It's really meant for everyone with any knowledge including past and present owners. I appeal to the owners who have no information entered on their car to consider offering the info to the registry keeping in mind that we definitely do NOT want their personal information associated with it.

Can some one explain why XS29J9B210737 is considered a Charger 500. This is a November car and it is a XS car? Wouldn't they have gotten the XX stuff right by then? Also the Fender TAG does not have A11. Should they all have them and again Not make that error in NOV (every car with fender tag data in this registry has A11 except this car). Same with Transmission Stamp. So is this possibly an RT converted and passed off as C500 despite the visual inspection. Does not seem any other paper work exist. Just curious as I try to educate myself on the history and accuracy of these cars. G
It is an unusual one. The 925xxx SO# was code for Charger 500.

This is what is so :icon_smile_cool: about what Homer assembled: Click on a column and you can sort the list by using the "Data" tab. You can see them in numerical order. Wanna see all the B5 cars together on the list? You can do that too.
Thanx C500!
My mistake, I've never seen the list coded by colo(u)r before?
Ever since I've been reading Homerr's wonderful work, its been a numerical list on my computer.
Before Homerr started his 'labour of LOVE' I was told by other aficionado's that my 248662 was the last of the line for the C500.
It made me and my 'bare-bones C500 feel very special indeed. :pity:
Even so I believe she was ordered with a 440, a four-speed+dana, a seat (or two) and a steering wheel, for track duties.
PERFECT in every way for a Circuit racer like me...
One of 26 440 'stick' cars and maybe just maybe, she made it onto a track or three in the States?
Engine and chassis mods were very obvious and have mostly been removed.
There was no evidence of a rollcage, so not a sanctioned event, just a social weekend racer?
Back in 69, it was just another Charger R/T with a filled in backlight and fixed headlights.
Now she is a Mopar legend in every way, designed to beat Fords and Chevy's at breath-taking speeds, that us 'mere mortals' can only dream about.
I would like to join the 150 club at the only surviving UK dragstrip, but I'm sure with a well built hemi and a tail-wind she will make 200 at the UK Rockingham... :eek2: :eek2: :eek2:

A few others were sporting 4 speeds at time of inspection but no fender tag, sheet or numbers matching trans to confirm if they were factory.

Thanx C500!
My mistake, I've never seen the list coded by colo(u)r before?
Ever since I've been reading Homerr's wonderful work, its been a numerical list on my computer.
Before Homerr started his 'labour of LOVE' I was told by other aficionado's that my 248662 was the last of the line for the C500.
It made me and my 'bare-bones C500 feel very special indeed. :pity:
Even so I believe she was ordered with a 440, a four-speed+dana, a seat (or two) and a steering wheel, for track duties.
PERFECT in every way for a Circuit racer like me...
One of 26 440 'stick' cars and maybe just maybe, she made it onto a track or three in the States?
Engine and chassis mods were very obvious and have mostly been removed.
There was no evidence of a rollcage, so not a sanctioned event, just a social weekend racer?
Back in 69, it was just another Charger R/T with a filled in backlight and fixed headlights.
Now she is a Mopar legend in every way, designed to beat Fords and Chevy's at breath-taking speeds, that us 'mere mortals' can only dream about.
I would like to join the 150 club at the only surviving UK dragstrip, but I'm sure with a well built hemi and a tail-wind she will make 200 at the UK Rockingham... :eek2: :eek2: :eek2:
Aerolite
"only surviving dragstrip"??? Unless I'm missing something in your thread we had seven last time I checked!!

While checking on another X9 500 I was looking at XS29L9B156009.
The interior code is blank and the picture of the fender tag has "C6R".
Also the next column has black for the interior color and it's RED.
Please update the spreadsheet.
Thanks! MJ
Here are some pictures of the 500 I was checking on XS29L9B162259.
The owner contacted a friend about some parts who gave him my phone number.
I helped with parts and other items and finally made a visit to see the 500.
From what I have learned the original owner had the car taken apart for restoration.
For some reason it never got finished and sat apart for many years.
After just 8 months this is how for it's come back together!
Very rare black with red stripe and interior color combination!
MJ
John that would be the 5th X9 500 I have in the lust that has Red interior. However two of those I am unsure on original stripe color.
Danny,,,,The black c-500 that you and MoPar john are chating about appears to be same color combo-as my black DAYTONA,,,,,,
Black red int,,, red wing,,, 440--4sp.

Hmmm so it is. Sure like those colors on a Charger :popcrn: Interesting to see photos of the other 440 car (as I understand). :2thumbs:
:drool5: :drool5:
I like the photo with the old bridge.
Been spending many hours this weekend updating this registry as I haven't really done much in the last nearly 2 years.
Thanks to Danny (69_500) for an audit of the registry in Nov '18.
Thanks as always to tan top for saving the photos from ads before they disappear forever!
I just bought one over the week end that isn't on the registry. I tried to add it but didn't have access and I'm not the most computer savvy. I emailed Homerr my tag and VIN.
What is the info on it? And congratulations!

How did all those panels fit.. I just got an NOS rear valance, but "MAY" need, not sure yet, a rear taillamp panel.. how about those end caps for the lower valance? Thanks for sharing your project.. Mine is in the works too to get painted.....
Basic info, F8 F8 and I'm guessing a white stripe, I'll hopefully be able to clear that up soon. Buckets, console auto, 440, 3.55, power disc, power steering car. Metal work is done (and done very well from what I can see), needs a few final blockings and ready spray, all gaps awesome, dash, seats, and steering column all done nicely, K-member and front end components blasted and coated, too many other parts done to go through. Rear glass, new rear glass moldings, grill with supports and brackets present and nice, very nice original trunk lid, doors, former NOS driver's fender and nice original hood. Passenger fender is AMD but fit extremely nice with no work. I don't know a lot of the history of the car yet but I hope to find out more, it has the original fender tag and VIN plate as well as both body numbers. If you look you can tell that the driver's trunk gutter was not disturbed when the quarter was replaced. The rear window plug was also in exception condition and not disturbed, the original Charger dutchman and rear window frame was still intact and awesome.
The bazaar thing and probably the way this one went up for sale and the owner eager to move it being this close to ready to assemble is that he found and purchased the almost exact car with a nice little J in the VIN. I'll try to get that VIN to add to the registry if he doesn't mind.
On the metal work, I didn't do this one but it looked like it fit very well, I did a 70 R/T Charger last year using AMD quarters, quarter corners, trunk floor, drop offs, out wheel housings, dutchman, deck lid, tail panel and rear valance, I was extremely please with the way they fit with very little massaging. As normal, I fitted everything with screws a dozen times before I stuck any of it together and then stuck 1 piece at a time and reassembled everything til I was done. The only exception was the quarter corners, I welded them to the quarters before I welded the quarters on. Again, I was pleased with the way they fit.

Thanks for the detailed description of your car's body work and sheetmetal quality from AMD. I'll have at most corners, trunk pan, extensions and lower quarters. We'll address the taillamp panel once the car is stripped... But, there doesn't appear to be any real rust issues and/or damage from accidents...
Did the former owner also get a green on green j-code? If so, I know the individual I believe.. He mentioned getting rid of one to get the other ( funny, sounds like my story )..
Congrats again and kudos for having the skills to do a lot of the work yourself... :2thumbs:
Thank you, please PM me any info you have on the car good, bad and otherwise. I've built a few but love driving them more than anything, I'm concerned I might not feel free to drive this one. Then again I said that about my AAR and put 15k on it since finishing it in 14. I think I am most looking forward to diving deep into the nuances of the breed. I'm a freak for the history of the cars I own.
Updated the registry with pics and info scoured since the last update. I just added mopar346's as a new entry.
(There was one other I added today as a new entry too... but I forgot to note which one! It was noted in the last few months in the forums somewhere.)

My list contains 11 broadcast sheets to cars I have yet to locate. As well as 3 that are known to have been scrapped.

Any car is worth more with no broadcast sheet than with a fake broadcast sheet.
Faked documentation causes the cars value to drop, the cars history is tainted and the person's reputation is tainted forever as well for having the fake made.

Hello , I've been watching Nick's Garage from Canada and when the 500 was shown I decided that I best get mine out of storage and fixed up so I can enjoy it .
Someplace I have pictures (read print film) stashed someplace all I could find right now were old polaroids of it.
Real data XX29L9B231999 sold new in Utah not sure when. Yellow car black interior and stripe saved from being scrapped more than once.

I have this VIN logged as a power disc brake and power steering car. Is this correct? Because I could not find a pencil rubbing of that fender tag.
Yes on the power steering (also was the steering box different on the 500's?)
No on the disc brakes they are drums 11x3 front 11x 2 1/2 rear which is an 8 3/4 with 3.55's.
The standard grille was in the car like in the picture when i bought it no idea when that happened ,everything was working at the time.
Quote(also was the steering box different on the 500's?)
Nope> same unit.
How do I go about getting my 69 Charger 500 put on the website's registry?

Has to be less than 400KB
This gem is coming to my garage soon. Waiting for my friend to come back to town so we can free up the brakes and move the stuff from around the car. This has been parked since 1980! Cannot wait to get started on this! It is not presently in the registry. But it will be 60 seconds after delivery.

Another green Charger sitting beside it ?
Yes sir! He has 3. He has another green one that is not pictured. It's a R/T 440-4 speed. Matching. Also a 70 V Code Challenger. I have the desire. What I need is deeper pockets. That's the only thing holding me back from buying all of them!

Your car (future car) will be in the registry probably before you even pick it up. Nosey people like Dan Liebrandt hang out here. lol
Hahah! Dan knows about the car. Dan and I have discussed the car a few times. The present owner keeps the car hidden from the public and prefers to not have it listed in the registry while he is owner.
QuoteAsk when is next season and what happened to Heather?
Congrats! Looking forward to hearing more about the detail of the car, and some photos of course :2thumbs:

your move now, martinsville boy
48k miles
I'm pretty sure I have seen this car before about 5 years ago.
Do you remember where you saw it?
I think Kentucky
I think this might be the one
That 500 seems to be in comparable condition. But the one I have posted has been sitting in Northern Illinois for 40 plus years. Too bad I couldn't buy that one too! : )
Wow, the one I looked at in Kentucky is the same color as yours with a white interior, cant quite tell what the interior color of yours is
This one is tan interior, automatic. Can I ask how you came across this one? A friend? Relative??
That was my 500. You got the bird wing center when you stop by.I do not have it anymore. :brickwall: :brickwall: Rick.

Hey Talkie Mopar, Your right it was your car. At the time I looked at 10 Areo cars that summer of 2015 and picked up the center part of a superbird wing for a friend back home from you.

Hey rick, the 500 has been my daily for the past few weeks. I love it. I have a temp tag for it but I'm still using the Kentucky plate that expired in 1983 :)

I had a 69 hp440 in the garage so I'm running that for now, the numbers 440 is in the garage and the 383 I pulled from the charger will go into my replacement 69 coronet wagon once I rebuild it.
Great to the 500 is on the road
Is it in the 500 registry now.
Yes, both my 500 cars are in the registry. Nwcharger has both of them. :2thumbs: :cheers:

Looks like a mod has just done it - can't be done by 'regular viewers', 'freeze' was greyed out when I tried.
Just added a number of pics posted here since the last update in May 2020. (Been a very busy work year for me, little time for hobbies!)
314 VINs now
101 with pics
I fixed a couple of VINs that were noted as XX29 but are actually XS29.
Feel free to post here with other corrections.

Added some basic info for 2 more cars :2thumbs:
220083 - Partial build sheet found in car 220079. 440 car with interesting color combination of R4 Red on R6 Red interior. Is this car out there? Your build sheet has been found.
220079 - Recently rescued by a family member after a 40+ year slumber. Also an interesting car: 440 car W1 White on R6 Red interior with a very skimpy fender tag. Manual steering, manual brakes, and column shift. One of, if not the lowest optioned 500 of them all?
Does anyone have the build sheet for 220079?

Have you seen the fender tag to 220083? pics I have seen of the car, show a black car with red interior. Story was it was wrecked years ago, had it already had a color change by then?
Not great photos...
Added some pics to the registry of cars sent/posted since Sept. 2021.
Wow that's just brilliant that someone saved this wonderful C500!
Column change, that's just BONKERS... :popcrn:

Is this another false Chryco footnote, like 440 thinwall blocks?
As you may have noticed I've not had time to maintain the registries. I have made partner in the business I'm at and am now buying the business, hence the lack of attention here.
I know google has broken links over time and several of you have messaged about cars, but the registry should be considered not maintained after June 2022. The site will stay up as-is but I am also providing a link below to all the content currently there including the pictures and spreadsheet in hopes that someone else can take it to the next level.
