Richard,
Please read above. I do have proof. Want to buy a
copy of the paperwork?
Maybe this is a dumb question...but why would the "paperwork" be of any value? Or something to be held in secret?
It's not, everyone else seems to be making a huge deal out of it. It will cost me to have it sent so I can make copies right away otherwise I won't be able to get it for a few weeks.
People all start being jerks about how something can or cannot be. If they the expert don't know
then it can't be and you are a liar. Most can't even read from the looks of the responses I have gotten, as they missed half of it. Way too big of egos on this post.
It's quite comical actually, and has been a great source of entertainment on this post.
It's always entertaining when all the "Experts" start saying what was or wasn't available from the assembly plants.
There were times when "extra" options were put on employee vehicles, those days are gone.
Nowadays everything is checked to make sure that the part on the track sheet (build sheet) is the correct one that was installed. Alot of the parts are scanned so the system can keep track of what part was installed. No substitutions no matter what. At one time the would allow some things to be upgraded if the correct part was out of stock (like a class 4 trailer tow if they ran out of class 3). Anything to keep the line running.... 
And yes, I work for Chrysler so I have some idea of what I'm talking about.
Well at least there are a bunch of us on this board that know.
Many people claim 'special' or 'extra'; few have proof.
Much of the confusion of what was and wasn't available is just not really knowing what truly was and wasn't available from the factory for a specific time frame of the producion year.
Many options were added, deleted or substituted during production. A late built car may have something that an early year car may not. It's not that the late car is 'special' it's just the option became available.
Much information printed through the years is just plain wrong and repeated in other magazines or books. If you read something in a book or magazine reagarding prodution information or options...trust but verify through another source particularly Chrysler released information.
Even Mopar info can be wrong. Numerous mistakes show up in brochures and books. Trust but verify. Do your own research.
Having said that...anyone making a claim that their car is 'special' or has something 'extra' that reportidly wasn't issued or released by Chrysler has the burden of proof to back up their statement.
As far as 'experts' on this board...yes there are some very knowledgeable people that have spent years researching and documenting cars instead of accepting myths, half-truths or out right wrong info about what did and didn't happen. They will help with accurate information if it is requested.
