Re: 69 Charger Find
[ QUOTE ]
How can you possibly THINK that if there were Canadian built /6 Chargers shipped that they would not appear in the same production book that shows MANY others with Canadian shipped figures? Remember, GGs figures came straight from Chrysler Corp.

I have many of the same items from Chrysler that Galen does. They only list US-spec stuff. This is par for the course, as I have mentioned before. Canadian and export numbers were kept differently so they are not in the same documentation.

What started all of this was your questioning the figures I posted as accurate.

No, what started it is that you posted production figures from Galen's book, and I added that those numbers were for US-spec cars and they should not be inferred as being complete.

Just EXACTLY what is it that you have posted that indicates there were any more than the 467 cars shipped?

Um, because my 2001 edition of the same book, which I posted above, shows the numbers to be US-spec cars only? And since I am interested in production figures, I try to be on the up-and-up with them?
Here's another way to think of it:
69,142 "base" Chargers were built in TOTAL
462 were built with the /6 for the US
65,068 were built with the V-8 for the US
For US-spec cars, there were 65,530 "base" Chargers built.
But what is this? We have Galen's Chrysler docs saying that 69,142 "base" Chargers were built in total - why the difference?
Because 4,074 "base" Chargers were sold to the Canadian and export markets. Those cars could have anything from the /6 all the way up to the 383-4.
