If you contact Chrysler Historical, you can purchase a microfiche copy of your car's original build card. A member over there (FastbackJon) is able to decode and reproduce these cards. I was wondering how many years these punch cards were used. Has anyone here purchsed information on thier car from Chrysler before? I have a '69 Super Bee and would like to get one of these cards for it. My car does not have a build sheet and these punch cards are the next best thing. Next... where can I get one decoded? Thanks for for any help or advice. Justin "CornDog" 1966 Dodge Charger 1968 Plymouth Satellite (Un-Restored "Survivor") 1969 Dodge Charger (W.B.

I asked Jon if he was licensed by Chrysler to reproduce the actual cards a while back & he was not. I have not heard if he has secured a license agreement since then? The original cards were in use for several years, my '75 Dart had one in it.

So what records does Chrysler Historical have for '68-up vehicles? Do they have the actual cards or nothing much at all? And where were both of you able to find the original cards inside your car?
