Hi folks,
First I want to thank 6bblgt for helping me by posting the photo's for me. I was not able to get them to post, guess I'm too old to know how to effectively complete some of this download stuff.
The VON is 802 and the VIN ends in 1002XX
The last two digits are fairly low as well.6bblgt blanked the last 3 out for me(thanks for doing that)
Thanks to all of you for the positive comments on what the car is. I had considered selling it to help defray the cost of a newer 392 hemi Shaker Challenger but am finding it hard to let this one go. I do like the car color except for the stripe. You might imagine my dismay when the stripe arrived. I looked up the stripe color from the code on the build sheet and found it is Chartreuse. I had not realized what that color really was until it arrived. Double checked the code and was correct so I thought the supplier must have made a fatal error but not to be. My first thoughts after installation were this stripe is uglier than my sister. Now several years later I am Okay with it. I guess old age mellows us out some.
Did it not have a stripe on it when you got it?
The green stripe MAKES that car.

Test or Pilot cars are hard to nail down the SPD build date with the E Body build. Just when would Chrysler decide to start pilots for 1971 E Bodies when the plant was running the TAs and AARs, the Shaker Hood change and who knows what else. Only one plant likely would of run all the pilots, Hamtr. The plant was less than a year into E Body production and trying to make build changes would of been a huge effort with all the other stuff going on. End of April might of been a good time to start running some pilots after the other stuff had hit production for a while and problems solved with those builds. Dan how did you come up with the Pilot dates. Did any Employees ever contribute to these dates. Were I work Pilots can run up to 5 years before there production year but usually 2 years is the start.
That White Challenger with the White stripe, you have to wonder why. The Black roof and white car the stripe contrast should of been black but this is what makes a Chrysler special.
I love all these flat hoods with the Hood Pin option on all these early Challengers.

dates are based on remaining dated components - seat belts, glass, & gauge cluster

back to JH23H1B1002xx 25 OPTIONS & approximately $4400 M.S.R.P. (destination included) It has CA emissions - so it probably started its "SHOW" career in California. The best one & they were probably NEVER on the car 15" W23 cast aluminum "ROAD" wheels - first car I've seen spec'd for them.

I don't see A78 on the tag is it coded on the sheet. Isn't that normally on a tag? Or is that one of the things missing on this early car?
Would be interesting to see the engine assembly date, k-member date and unique 71 items.

That looks like the original plate that was issued when the car was new. Gotta run, but will be back later to share some info of my JS 340/RT.
Very cool.
Would be interesting if these cars from same area and close vin's are connected in some way.

I MIGHT HAVE JUMPED THE GUN ON THIS ONE  See "hiccup" post earlier in the thread.
Got any more info and/or pics? What hood is on the car?  Is the VON correct?
N96 on broadcast sheet along with correct shaker upper rad hose part number.

I thought 773 was B52138.I think thats a BC car...had a shaker on it in 2006 when it was in Texas.
The Canadian 802 cars order #'s are B99...
Whats the earliest 71 J Vin known ?.Lowest I've seen is 139.
I know we are talking J's but a customer of mine out west aquired
BS23N1B100020 completely fubared been a local circle track car.Was EL5
..it would have been a B99 order # for sure.
