It's just motivation to resume the quest in locating something with the VIN. As for the IBM cards, since we have a known timeframe to deal with (3/22/66 - 4/7/66), it will help in this case should we ever have access to the information.

The IBM cards would answer alot of questions on the 4-door Hemi cars and probably raise others. May have been more built than we think... Tom 68 Charger 70 Cuda

Baby Blue 68 Belvedere that sat on and off a Detroit used car lot for 10 years or so.I hope that some other Detroit area peeps will remember it. Lot was on the east side and still exists in a far east burb.I viewed the car several times and it was very real. Every summer it would go out on the lot then disappear. Never had the cash to buy it and no one else wanted it because it was a 4 door stripper. 2nd car was an Engr (red 4 door Coronet)car that I rode in.It was used in transmission testing. Did it escape to the outside? Dunno it may have but it was ordered as a Hemi car. There may have been others. These are not 4th hand story cars they were real. Flame on Leave the gun.......take the Cannoli's....Mike

My point of course was only to point out that anything could have and did happen when it came to odd combo cars.Remember everyone knew somebody that was in the dealers,the plant or engineering. I wish I had the foresight to have a camera with me back then. Leave the gun.......take the Cannoli's....Mike
