Guys,
I came across a 1970 Challenger, the car was built in Los Angeles Ca SBD 8/19/69 with vin #100113, has any one seen one built sooner than that?
When I get a chance I will down load some pictures.
Thanks

it appears that:for the '70 model year 801-SPDs (Friday, August 1, 1969) were reserved for pre-production cars. for the LA plant 818-SPD (Monday, August 18, 1969) was the first scheduled day of production. are you sure 0E100113 was 819?

I own a very early 1970 Challenger
JH23G0E100135 - It's been certified by Galen Govier, 1 of 1 and built on the first day the LA plant opened. 8/18/1969 - My car is the earliest in the Galen registry, I'm sure there are earlier cars out there.
Thanks! You do realize he means 1 of 1 in his records don't you ?? Not production numbers...

Yeah, I'm well aware of Galen's position and how he rates his inventory. I'm not another delusional Mopar owner that thinks they have a $100K car. I got this car as a drag car, but think its special enough to get back to original as possible, and that is what I'm doing. Minus the 318. It now has a 440 six pack. Original Sublime, white interior.
Appreciate the info. Hard to track down info sometimes on LA originated cars.
In case you are curious, here is the fender tag info:
R11 END FJ5 C16 C55 G32 G34 M21 FJ5 H6XW 000 818 039304 E44 D31 JH23 G0E 100135

You've actually seen the car. I never got to. I think you told me that it had a pistol grip in it without "Hurst" on the side. It had been painted numerous times. I got the VIN from the owner at the time who is a Nor Cal pimp so that might be the car.
