Y16 cars were built through out the year, so some sat while others got delivered right away if there was a 'match'. Some original owners have reported that the car they 'ordered' showed up at the dealership with one or two items not right. Exact car, but without a radio when they ordered one, that kind of thing. If they had a close match already built, they would send it. I have seen a few 'customer ordered' cars that have Y16 on the broadcast sheet.

What about in the case of an A12 in early 1969 which were said to be "Sales Bank" 383 cars or at the least the first scheduled 200 - 1000 initially planned for the most part? Did they remove the 383, the standard 4-speed, 8-3/4 diff, the non-"Hemi" suspension (i.e., torsion bars, add a leaf spring or two) or in other words did they "un-build" the Sales Bank cars to add the A12 option package components?

MikeR I do not know, I study 1970 models & coding for the most part. I have seen paperwork for some A12 cars that were actually ordered & the VON was changed from the original dealer paperwork to a Chrysler assigned VON. I tried talking the person that has them out of them, but no luck.

I read the Lynch Road Assembly plant story and know about the big one on the front but what about the broadcast sheet the size of the most commonly one found in the seat back, even if it never made it on the car. It seems there many more that size, one in each department except for Body-in-White, paint and rust proofing and......? Anyone know how many (approximately 8-1/2" x 11") broadcast sheets per car where used?

The text at the top 'Chrysler Corporation Car Production Broadcast' quite literally broadcast what was needed to make that particular car to all the sub-assembly areas. What tires on what wheels, what VIN to put on what color dash, etc, etc.

Do you know if there is anything different between the three similar size broadcast sheets like something on one or two of them that's missing from the other? Something added or changed or just different between them? MikeR

I don't recall any other differences other than font. I'd have to have all three of them sitting next to each other to look for anything else.

I have a 70 Super Bee with an 11-August of 1969 build date and no codes in the "Y" section. I was told by the original owner that he purchased the car in August of 1970 as a left over, and if memory serves, the car had around 2000-3000 miles on it. I read somewhere no "Y" code meant the car was ordered for use by a dealership? That doesn't make sense to me as there is a code for dealer demonstrator. Anyone know the real story on the no "Y" code question? 70 Super Bee FK5 383 4-Speed 68 GTX RR1 426 Auto 70 Cuda FC7 440 Auto Psalm 37:5: Commit your way to the Lord; trust also in Him and He will do it

(no need to see the whole sheet) Some cars were Y14 & Y16 at the same time, and there was not a separate Y code for that. On the Advance Dealer Shipping Order, both Y codes were called out though, these cars had deposits put down at time of order for lot stock.

I think it was a picture of the original though it could have been a reproduction. I did verify the original owner purchased the car in August of 1970 from the dealer listed on the window sticker Thank you for your help on this Grace and peace Gardner Last edited by BeeOrange; 10/03/21 10:11 PM. 70 Super Bee FK5 383 4-Speed 68 GTX RR1 426 Auto 70 Cuda FC7 440 Auto Psalm 37:5: Commit your way to the Lord; trust also in Him and He will do it

Would it be on the fender tag? there is nothing on a fender tag for a '73 'cuda that would indicate it was a Y16 - "sales bank" car - I have not seen a '73 broadcast sheet that calls it out either
