Found Items of the Month
For our August item of the month we have a factory
invoice as well as the actual sales invoice for a
1970 Challenger R/T convertible with the 440- sixpack.
This car sold new from the L. L. Richardson Dodge
Dealership in Dallas, PA. The VIN is JS27V0B152616
If you own this car, the records are yours for free
with proof the car still exists and proof of legal
ownership.
These two records and hundreds more from this dealership
were donated by Tom Race at R/T Specialties. The cars
range from 1932 through 1974 models, and they include
Desotos, Plymouths, Chryslers and Dodge trucks.
I will be adding all the VINs to the "found"
section just as soon as I can. There are hundreds
of pages, some cars have only one page, while some
cars that were sold new, traded back in later and
then sold again as used cars have up to six pages.
The records for all the 1968 - 1974 cars were added
to the found section last night, the rest will follow
as soon as I can finish sorting them and adding them
to the database.
Tom,
For all of us, thank you very much!

| The goal of the 1970 Hamtramck
Registry is to provide an organization for the owners
and admirers of these cars. Through the registry we
will collect information to try and build an accurate
historical record of these cars and use it to help the
members when possible. This includes matching up found
broadcast sheets, other paperwork or serial numbered
components such as fender tags, engine blocks and transmissions.
Since Chrysler Corporation chose not to keep records
on these cars, creating a database to try and accurately
record the information on these cars for historical
purposes is one of the major functions of the Registry.

Please click the "REGISTER" link on the left,
download the Registration Form in either PDF, HTML or MS
Word format, fill out the form as completely as possible
and mail it to me at the address above.
If you have not done so already, I urge you
to search your car for broadcast sheets.
Sometimes there can be as many as 5 in one car,
so if you do find one, please keep looking, there could
be more. They do not always match the car they are found
in due to how the assembly lines at the plant were run.
If you find any sheets, please let me know if they match
or not. It is very common to find a sheet for a different
model of the same car. I have also heard of Challenger sheets
in Cuda's and vice versa.
Here are some places to look:
- Taped to the back side / top of the glove box insert.
- Under the front bucket seats in the springs
- Inside the bucket seat backs
- Under the rear seat bottom
- In the rear seat back.
- Under the package tray(speaker shelf)
- Under the carpet
Please check all these locations and let me
know what you find.
Thank you all,
Barry Washington at The 1970 Hamtramck Registry and The
Challenger T/A Registry
Special thanks to Johan Ronkainen for
hosting this site. We could not have done it without him.
