Hey Paul, you need a place to park the 500? I have an empty spot in the garage. I was saving it for a Daytona but it won't be occupied for many years.

Would love to see some updated photo's of Pauls car. Last pictures I had seen of his car it was being torn down to start the work, that was probably 4-5 years ago though.

Hi 500 Folks.
Haven't had time to read all this thread.
Sorry for restarting so long from its beginning!

My vin for last '440' 500 built is XX29 L9B 248662.
GG told me a while back that its the last 440 car built
Order number is 925741.

Both are conseq to the 426 Hemi 500, last ever built Dec19 1968.
IF A JOB's WORTH DOING, ITS WORTH DOING WELL, RIP DAD.
4-SPEED, 1969 Charger-500 is the most Coolio car in the World!

RallyeMike

I thought 248665 was the last 440, but your car is definitely near the very end of the line.

Someday it would be interesting to compare an early and late build car side by side and see if there are differences.
1969 Charger 500 #232008
1972 Charger, Grand Sport #41
1973 Charger "T/A"

I just read this whole thread, and my head is foggy now  :brickwall:. I have XS on my dash VIN, Title, fender tag and is registered in the 181 known to exist list that I have from 11/89 compiled by GG. I have some more interesting documentation from Chrysler Corp dated April 10th 1972 showing only 392 Charger 500's were built. Has anyone else seen this letter?   :coolgleamA:

The 1972 letter is the one that started the quoting of the 392 number.   I don't know that there has ever been any documentation as to "how" they actually arrived at that number. 

500Jon

Hi Aero's,

Happy Christmas to all Charger 500 Folks (fixed or non-fixed-cheapo headlights).............

Five years has gone past real quick!!! :yesnod:
Still 392 is the 'number of the beast'!

How many more C500's have come to light since 2009?

What is the current total for known C500's please???

The next person that mentions GG is off my Christmas card list!!! :RantExplode:

HOPE THE NEW YEAR BRINGS JOY AND HAPPINESS TO ALL CHARGER FOLKS and the other non Charger BIRDIE Folks too............. :smilielol: :smilielol: :smilielol:

Though I have heard about it, I have never actually seen the "392 letter". I guess I thought it was a hidden personal treasure like Mr. G's secret and questionable list that says there are more than that.

It seems like this would be the thread to scan and post the "392 letter" to (strong hint!).  ;D
