Here, here. Wish I had more time to offer (to help out with it). I've missed it not being around.
Shoot a PM to Ghoste...

Does any one have any info from the old site. Maybe screen shots. Just wanted to look at production numbers and any other info that was there. :2thumbs: :popcrn:
Why is this currently down? I own a web hosting company and would be happy to host it, pro-bono of course.

Have the domain name registered and a host site. The problem has largely been making the time to create the site. I had a test one up for a while but took it down because I wasn't happy with it. Chip at the new one when I can but at the same time as this has been going on I have had a job change, a divorce, a child enter university, am a single parent of two, as well as a couple of personal issues.
It isn't gone folks and it certainly isnt forgotten or being ignored. It has just been grossly delayed by life.

Let me know if there is anything that I can do to help out. I don't mind doing a little web development/database work from time to time. I know exactly what you mean with life getting in the way. Good to hear that the registry still has a heart beat. :2thumbs:
How long has the old 1969 Dodge Charger Registry been gone now ?
5 Years ?
4 Years ?
3 Years ?
What happened to all the information from the old 1969 Charger Registry ? I thought it was all forwarded to you Ghoste ?
Just sayín...
life DOES get in the way sometimes ? and sounds like you have certainly had your share Ghoste.
No harm or foul....
but maybe it is time to just forward the data & info to someone with more time and can get it done ? or at least accept some help ?
rebby is willing to host ? and help ?
I'll kick in a few bucks if that's what it takes ?
But after this many years, I just think it may be time to think about passing along the data/info and get it up and running ?

If I can get the data, I can certainly load it into a DB and build a quick UI. It might not be pretty (at first, rather get something online quick than worry about aesthetics to start with) but it will be functional.

What say you Ghoste ?
Are you willing to accept some help here ?
I mean it's been 3 long years without the '69 Charger Registry ?
and well,
that's what car sites are all about.... people with a common interest in the car hobby stepping up to help out each other if they can ?
That's what you did when Chris couldn't keep the 1969 Charger Registry going back in 2013... YOU stepped up and received all the Charger Registry data/info/domain name to safeguard it back then, as you called taking it over at that time a "stewardship" of the data/info and Domain name.
Quote from Ghoste back on May 31st 2013, regarding the 1969 Dodge Charger Registry
"I have volunteered to take over the stewardship of this registry from Chris. He has forwarded the database on to me and the domain name. When I get back home I will get someone from our IT dept. to help me set up a website for it. I think the initial plans will be to set up pretty much the same way Chris did. He did a fantastic job with it and certainly earned a break. I will do my best to live up to the standard he set."
Life has gotten in the way... everybody understands that,
just sayín.....
maybe it's time to accept some help ? No harm/foul/or shame.... but is there any way we can get the data/info from the '69 Charger Registry you were forwarded ?
and,
start a new effort to maintain the "Stewardship" as you called the data/info/domain name you were forwarded ? of the '69 Charger Registry ?
Is there a possibility of moving forward without Ghoste?
Quote from: Cncguy on March 19, 2016, 06:48:39 AM
Is there a possibility of moving forward without Ghoste?
I don't know, I am not a tech guy ? maybe someone more Tech savvy can comment ?
But I don't believe so, seeing as how all the 69 Charger Registry info/data was forwarded to Ghoste, and the "Domain" name which he has registered in his name, would probably have to be released or assigned by him, same as when Chris assigned it to Ghoste when he "volunteered" to keep the '69 Charger Registry going ?
IMO,
the "stewardship" he so eloquently agreed to step up and take over ? is now more likely "ownership" for all intents and purposes for anyone else wishing to move forward ?
I guess you could start from scratch ?
Start collecting data/info all over again.... and register the Domain name something like
1969 "coke bottle" shaped Dodge Registry ?I am just not sure why Ghoste won't accept some help in this regard ? If in fact he doesn't want any help ?
Even just a Yes or NO ?
He has gone strangely quiet since this threads resurrection ?
for a guy who averaging 10 posts per day ? 12,279 since he took over the 69 Registry ?
But I don't think 3 years on..... that it is unexpected, nor unreasonable, that people interested in seeing the 69 Charger Registry back up and running would be asking ? or offering ? a little more diligently to help with with Registry's return ?
Who knows.... maybe he is taking a hiatus from here to get it done RIGHT NOW ?
:popcrn: :scratchchin:
My primary concern is the DATA, I'm not so concerned about the domain name (although that would be good to have straightened out as well). If I can get a copy of the data though, I can get something back online. I don't need to get help from "an IT guy" either. I own the hosting environment, I own the servers, I have root access to everything, I am a certified DBA, and I do web development. End to end here. I'm more than willing to take this on and the sooner the better, we got snow again last night so I'd rather work on it now than when the weather gets nice.
Does anybody still have a copy of the data? Chris? Sorry, I don't know much of the back story on why Chris needed to move the registry.
Maybe Ghoste would be willing to sell Data? We could all pitch in.
:popcrn: :scratchchin: I could help out. I don't have much but I am sure I can find acuple of dollars I could send. :2thumbs:

That would be fantastic Chris !
I didn't know if you were still around or were open to contact ?
Even with that data we could surely get it growing, and I am guessing expand it dramatically very quickly from there.
Is it ok for me to pm you ?
Ghoste seems to have gone completely silent since this thread gained traction ?
I dunno what's up with that ?
For a guy who was averaging 10 posts per day/12,279 posts over the last 3 years.... all of a sudden ? since this thread started gaining traction to get the '69 Charger Registry up & running again.... GONE... NADA.... ZILCH....
I sure hope he is OK ?
He seems by his own accounts to have had his share of misfortune befall ? hence why 3 years later NO '69 Registry ? That's why people thought pitching in might help get it going ?
Ghoste avoiding this thread is proof he probably should just let the charger registry go, to someone who has time and pays attention to what other charger owners want.
Ghoste was last active on 3/15 and his last post was in this thread on that day. Maybe he is busy and has not logged on to the forum in a few days.
Please no finger pointing. All that stuff don't help things. We don't know what going with him. We all are good people on here just some time life gets in the way. We stick together on this. Collect information you can find. Then start a new data base. I think we as a whole have a lot of info on here. :popcrn: :2thumbs: :cheers:
May I suggest some thing when this new is made. That we have more then one person have data back up some where. That way not just one person has the info and no one can hold info hostage. :2thumbs:
Other than the domain name, which an alternate could be used...as long as the transfer of data was not codified in some legal fashion then Chris can send the 2013 data to another party to start fresh. Hell of a shame to let it waste away after all of Chris' hard work.

Chris, if you don't mind, please email this to me (charger@rebby.com). I'll get the SS online right away and start work on a website/DB solution as well. That's a start anyway. Thanks!
Just because there isn't any progress on the web site does not mean there's nothing going on with the Registry. It's important to note that they are totally different (and easily separable) things. One can build a really cool, informational site about 69 Chargers without having the data from the Registry. Since that data isn't publicly accessible (even on the old site) I highly doubt that's the part that people "miss".

That is true Troy. I have a lot of personal info (car whereabouts etc) that was entrusted to me over the years. Shawn is the curator right now. He will chime in shortly Im sure. he has not been active in the last few days. Give him some time to weigh in...
A website could be built around all the data to be added in later
I think it is uncool for you guys to be trying to get this info that Ghoste already has been entrusted with with out Ghoste saying go for it
Did you not already read what he said he was up against the last little while ??
If it is so important to you why did you not volunteer to host it in the first place ?

And most respectfully here to Ghoste, all anyone here has done is to ask Ghoste himself, if he would accept that help ? Both HERE and in PM ?
Even just a

So at what point do we move forward if not now? 5 years? 10 years? Maybe our kids can start a registry?
Just to be clear, I have no desire to "hijack" and/or "steal" the registry. I just want to see it back online and available. I'd also hate to lose any of the data that so many worked so hard to accumulate over the years. That said, I'm up for taking it on 100% if need be. I'm even happier to assist Ghoste if he'd like to get this up and running.

Uh, the registry data was never in the "public domain". That's the point I was trying to make. There's a lot of good technical documentation and pretty pictures (all of which can be put back onto a site somewhere) but I don't believe any of the registries allow unfettered access to the data. If they do, you can be sure none of my cars are listed with them.

I think a registry is more important than a few pics and documentation. It could also be invaluable in helping reunite drivetranes, build sheets, and fender tags. Not to mention helping authenticate their next purchase.
Yes we should have someone we can trust running the registry. I'd hope that person would respond to questions regarding the registry.

Yes that is why the data was/is entrusted to an individual to REMAIN confidential. I have reunited a few engines, tags, BS's over the years acting as the "go through" for all communication, To respect registrant's privacy etc.... :Twocents:

Why is this currently down? I own a web hosting company and would be happy to host it, pro-bono of course.
Have the domain name registered and a host site. The problem has largely been making the time to create the site. I had a test one up for a while but took it down because I wasn't happy with it. Chip at the new one when I can but at the same time as this has been going on I have had a job change, a divorce, a child enter university, am a single parent of two, as well as a couple of personal issues.
It isn't gone folks and it certainly isnt forgotten or being ignored. It has just been grossly delayed by life.
This was his last post now vanished like a ghoste :angelwing:
We still need a registry! Not letting this sleeping dog lie.
My offer to assist in any way/shape/form still stands. Ghoste, you still around? Let's get this back online.
:popcrn:
I have some stuff to add. I was looking through pics I had off my phone and if anyone remembers that marine guy that said bro a lot. Can't find the thread right now, but he found two cars, a 69 and 71 I think while hunting. He befriended the old man and was gonna give him a ride in the 72 for the 69
Anyway, I got his vin. :icon_smile_big:
do I PM Ghoste, or should I post it here. :shruggy:

Edit: I found the thread, fyi, its hard to read with his posts gone
http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,116481.300.html
The guy practically lived on this forum, and probably under pressure on the registry, he's made himself invisible. His last post said it all - his shit has hit the fan. It sounds like a couple of our members might be working with him, so I would say the kind thing to do is let the buzz die down and be patient.

The guy practically lived on this forum, and probably under pressure on the registry, he's made himself invisible. His last post said it all - his shit has hit the fan. It sounds like a couple of our members might be working with him, so I would say the kind thing to do is let the buzz die down and be patient.
:coolgleamA:
Got Nuth'in to do with any buzz dying down..... the "Kind" part was in all the offers to help and assist from good people.
I sincerely hope I am wrong.....
But IMO, I think we've seen the last of Ghoste, the 69 Registry, and that registered domain in his name.
This is why I love open registries, it's alive as long as google is around. If google is gonna die, just download a copy of the registry.
But then there isn't likely to be the contact info of a closed registry.
like anything in life if someone has an issue if its alcohol, drugs, relationship we seek help you have friends here willing to help :pity:
:drive: O0
:(
:bump:
Luke
:shruggy:
The facts so far as I see it, and would love to be proven wrong.....
the '69 Registry is gone, and so is the data/registry domain name, which is now all held in the hands of one individual, and he is NOT sharing the info/domain name, nor accepting any help.
It is his, his alone, and too bad for anyone else.
Sad but true.
Hopefully Ghoste will be at the Mopar Nationals in a little over a week and available for some encouragement or advice. Let's see what shakes out.

any news from mopar nationals

I didn't make it. Sucky weather and I had some things come up at home.

Hi,
I am just new to this site and I had emailed admin@1969chargerregistry.com and the email came back. So is this site down? I was wondering where I would go to find out how many 1969 Dodge Charger SE with a 383 and 4 speed manual there was made?
I had found these numbers ~1441~ ....XP Chargers(81 4-SPD)(204 SE & 187 White Hat Specials, but it does not have it broken down to SE 4speeds the way I read it,,,,maybe I read it wrong though.
thanks in advance for any help or info.
Yes it's down. Been down for awhile. PM this guy
http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=71
He is the one with all the info
Luke
I'm just hoping ghoste is still with us and doing well :2thumbs:

IMO, I believe people have "reached out" to him ?
and done a great job in offering assistance, help, support, and pretty much anything else he may require ?
ALL to no avail.
I think that the only thing left, that Ghoste has NOT been offered is
CASH ? Hmmmmm. I wonder ?
if he has all this happening in his life he wouldn't have time for the registry as we all have a priority list, maybe hand it over to someone that has the time :scratchchin:

Well, that's exactly what many people tried offering if you read back through this thread ?
He just disappeared.
Like I said... about the only thing he wasn't offered in the way of assistance.... was "money" to give up the data/info/domain name so we could get the '69 Registry up and running again ?

I doubt Ghoste is holding out for $$.
5 years ago the guy offered to drive 2 hours one way to look at a car for me no charge. In the end the deal didn't work out, so he didn't have to go.
What is stopping anyone from starting a new registry with a slightly different name for the 69s?

Yeah, maybe its time to get off Ghostes case and just start again with a new registry via Google Sheets, as Homerr has done with the '68's?
Ghoste can come back and add to it, if or when he's ready.

Hello and welcome. :wave:
I realize this is a late reply but I have not been on here for a while.
No, you are not reading the info wrong. The way Chrysler kept their records, we do not know the combinations of options, only how many of each option. :(
So we know how many XP cars had option D21 (4 speed) and how many had A47 (SE package), but not how many had both D21 and A47.
This is when I am envious of Ford enthusiasts ;D as Ford kept track of combinations. Many Mustang owners can legitimately claim and prove that their car is 1 of 1, 1 of 10 etc when every possible option is considered.
I also hope the registry gets back again. It was a valuable information source.
:cheers:
Marti Auto has the actual sales records from Ford and this is how he provides the accurate information on Ford Products.
More recently Kevin Marti came into possession of the actual factory invoices for Ford products. These invoices had been in Lois Eminger's care for years.
I personally have obtained the original factory invoice for my 1969 Mustang and tell you there is no better feeling than when this original document arrived. It is one of the original copies of the dealer Invoice, not a photocopy or a scanned copy. The down side here though is once the factory Invoice has been obtained by a car's owner that is it, there is no copy retained by Marti. It is up to the owner to then preserve and pass on the document. Sometimes this does not happen.
I sure wish we could get this document from Chrysler for our Mopars, it sure goes a long way to cut out the BS on these old Fords.
Here is a link to Marti's site. On the left side click on the Original Invoices tab. https://www.martiauto.com/reports2.cfm

So the story goes...which may be a cover for another story I heard from a little birdie...
This is only a story - I have no proof...
At some point in the late 70s, an individual in the records department started throwing away folder and folders of car records from the late 60s and early 70s. His justification - the records are more than 7 years old, so we don't need them anymore. Chrysler also keeps a master tape - which a lot of these records are on. So they could print out new records - but that would cost a lot of dough to do - and that would cut into the bottom line for the company. So it has not been done. The fire story may have been just the company spin doctors spinning a tale to save face for their moronic employee.
Again, only a story I have heard - no proof.
On the registry note - Ghoste is trying another website hosting service. I hope this one works out to his satisfaction. Hold tight a little longer.
Scott.
Years ago I had an unrelated business meeting with Chrysler Canada. At the end of the meeting I decided to ask if they had stored records from 1970 model year hidden away somewhere. The basic answer was no...."why the hell would we keep stuff that old".

hate to say it but some people don't like being pushed :yesnod: the more someone pushes the more they dig their heels in .
not saying ghoste is one of them but just sayin :Twocents:
While I was working on publishing the 1968 registry I appreciated the push here and there, just to know there was interested in it.
(Being mean or demanding would have just pissed me off though.)

Well, from his (Ghoste's) last post, I can sympathize. I thank the spirit of Walter P Chrysler every day I got to keep my Charger when I got divorced. My 11 and 12 yr old enjoy the occasional trip to Rita's now, etc. It was horrible and in some ways still is after 9 years, but I was lucky. Exes can be mean, spiteful, hateful, etc. For a while I was so busy being miserable I couldn't think of anything that would make me happy like my cars, having a beer, etc. Add in being a single parent and lots of bills, it's overwhelming. I eventually got through it.
From reading through the whole thread, maybe the best we can do is offer patience and support. :Twocents:

So now that he is selling his car, will we ever get the info for this registry :shruggy:

Back in 2008 I had to sell my T/A or lose the house due to a lack of work.
If I had lost the house, The Challenger T/A Registry, 1970 Hamtramck Registry & the 1970 LA Registry would not have had a home.
26 4-drawer filing cabinets for car records alone, it would have been tough to live on the street with them.
Please cut Ghoste some slack, he may be making a big sacrifice for the good of the hobby here. :Twocents:
You guys may be giving this guy to much of a benefit of a doubt. For one he hasn't chimed in even to say hello to any of you. You would think he would at least list his car in the classified section of this forum.

Alaskan T/A-- I didnt know you were T/A-less all these years. Good for you for still maintaining the registry despite the sale of your car.
I think this is done like dinner. Not going to rise out of the ashes.
If Chris kept a copy of what he had when he handed it over to Ghoste then maybe someone new could step up and get the data / files from Chris and at least start from there. I think Chris had around 2,000 cars registered back then....be nice if someone could use that as the jump off point and manage going forward.
But if Chris no longer has anything then I think all that data is lost.

I agree
I'm not sure if I've stated this publicly, but I know I have privately to a few... I think that the non-open source registries (closed because of owner information makes sense) should be run by at least 3 people with admin rights, maybe even as far as domain registration, in order to not have this happen again.
If Troy were to replace the 1969 Registry with a DC.com based one, for instance, then it seems like there are more than a few people here qualified to help out.
:popcrn:
Sorta new here,is the 69 registry up and running?
Has anyone tried Googling "1969 Dodge Charger Registry" in the last few months?? You might just find something..........
Hi. I wonder why a 1969 Dodge Charger Registry website is not active. I think it would be very useful to many of us 69 owners. Best regards to you all!
No one wants the responsibility.

Yes, that's it - at least the site is back up with contact info for people to register their cars. Hopefully when Ghoste gets back in the groove, he will get some data posted.

You can try. I think many on here have tried without success. Some may have even offered money
Pride, and the thought of admitting failure is keeping the info from everyone else.
Best thing I think, is that someone starts another one and just forgets the info he had and start over. I'm not computer savvy, so I'm not sure how possible that is.

I'm sure that this has probably been covered on this subject a long-long time ago, so could someone point me towards the story of what happened to Wayne Whooten and all the Charger Registry work he did? I think I had signed up back in 1998 and sent him the info on my 2 Chargers plus a friend's '69 and another friend's '67.

I don't know if all his data was ever passed on. I've never seen any of the 70 Charger info he had. Seemed to be a good effort back then with regional Charger meets. Too bad.
Don, how hard is it to take the 70 site and use it as a template for a 69 site.

I went to Wayne's meets in the mid-late 90s, and then, sometime after the internet took over the world, TDC went dark. Gone. :shruggy:
It's a shame there isn't something more of a resource. Having run another registry for the past 15 years, it's a labor of love, I know. But c'mon, doesn't someone care enough to not try and profit, or gain from info? :popcrn:

It's DEAD!
I wouldn't declare it dead yet, considering that Ghoste still visits on a regular basis. Considering the fact that we don't know the circumstances that's going on with him at the moment, it's best just to sit tight and let him figure it out until Chargers can be a priority for him again.
Just want to pop in here and mention that although I haven't been around here as much lately (family medical), I'm still more than willing to help out in whatever capacity that I can. I own a web hosting company (donate server resources?) and do my fair share of website and database development/administration work. Like a lot of people here, I just want to see this back in operation.

There is a Site up to register YOUR 1969 Dodge Charger's information, YOUR Charger's VIN is a must, and YOUR Charger's Fender Tag information if you have it ?
see here:
https://1969dodgechargerregistry.wordpress.com/
But curiously to me anyways ?
and FAR different from any of the other 1968 or 1970 Charger Registry's ?
Is that there is absolutely NO INFORMATION coming back OUT of the 1969 Dodge Charger Registry ?.... nor any access to numbers/resources that were in the already VAST database, or for anyone else submitting THEIR Charger information continuing to GROW that database ?
Just say'in....
seems to me anyways, like the 1969 Charger Registry has become a "personalized" resource wealth of information, NOT to be shared, even with those still submitting/growing the that database ?
Which begs the question....
If as the Site suggests.....
"To register your Charger, simply go to the contact area to submit your car. At the very least, the VIN is required. Ideally if it is possible to supply the codes from the fender tag, submitting those as well is where we gain the greatest insight into the way these incredible vehicles were assembled."
Who the heck is "WE" gaining all the insight ? if no-one else can look at any of the vast resources/database already in the Registry ?
just say'in...
doesn't seem much point submitting YOUR Charger's VIN & Fender Tag information, as a "resource" for other enthusiasts, and to grow the already VAST database that has dis-appeared, when that act of selflessness and sharing helps nobody else ?
