From the previous thread....

if this is the case: From Dave B.
Propane X a red white stripe 69 charger 500 426 automatic car from NJ never registered with 12 miles on it XX29J9B110615 of SGT Deanna Broyles Wrightstown NJ .Tom Chamberlin is a local NJ racer and car builder.And is well known in our town

My Press Release car is XX29J9B110614.. So, this would mean this was the highest sequence number of the 1st patch of C500s built.... Everything points to that....

Danny, ever surface?

...How many PR 500's were there then?

Dave, they made 6, 110610 thru 110615; all 426 Hemis, all R4 red, black interior, am/fm, power windows, etc.. All optioned out the same for the most part with the biggest difference being the tranny: 3 autos, 3 manuals. Interesting bit, all were coded for the W23, what now call the Recalls... But none that I know of left Creative, hence the Polara/Monoco on them as you see in pictures. Looks like at least one left Creative with steelies and hub caps ( looks to be one of the West Coast destination 500s )  Did I get it right Danny?

Maybe a 500 shiplist will show what dealers had them .I've searched NJ newspapers and dealers and found only 440 ones.Trying to see how the propane x got in NJ

When Frank Wylie, Manager of Dodge Public Relations in the 60s, was interviewed for the "Supercars" book in 1994, he revealed that DC-93 (#88) was made from the stolen, stripped and recovered Hot Rod Press car.  Is this car one of the 6, or a few numbers after this lot?     
It was a 426 hemi 4 speed dana car.

I thought the stolen car was one of the six?
