Here in Ontario there are a couple of people that collect BCS's
One of my customers BOUGHT his original BCS off of EBay...was more then happy to get it...

Boy you guy's now have me all upset.My Superbird was one of those that never had a build sheet,when it comes time to let it go I guess I'll have to give it away.

I guarantee that absolutley NO Chrysler "executives" or any other desk riders at Chrysler had any clue about what went on in the factory back then or even today! I know several retired line workers that went out for lunch everyday, drank a couple quarts, smoked a couple doobies, then went back to the line. They laugh at all the interest in fender tags, heck they used to make their own and put whatever codes they wanted on them! The Broadcast Sheet (I capitalize them for a reason) means so much more than any other documentation that it is not even funny. I have seen VIN's with 12 digits, fender tags with obvious wrong codes, dislexic stampings on core supports and trunk lips, cars repainted a different color right over the first paint job from the factory, and numerous other issues that make you say HMMMMMM... I will continue to put my faith in the Broadcast Sheet and will continue to appraise cars with a Broadcast Sheet at a higher value than one without and I am 100% sure that the majority in this hobby will agree with me. As far as I am concerned, a reproduction Broadcast Sheet is exactly the same as my Charmin, but not on a roll...

Is it just me or do we have more "Corvette" mentality guys around here than ever before. I can't wait til every Mopar you see is a 1 of 1 creation, complete with matching numbers, "offical documentation" etc

All in the name of greed.

"Pssst Hey those rich collector guys are saying your car isn't worth as much as their car because it doesn't have the factory documentation"

Really

You can get even though...

How

I can sell you some made up outta thin air documentation...just follow me and have your Credit Card Number handy...I am doing this for the litte guy and for the good of the hobby...hey and if I can line up my pockets with cash I AM HAPPY

History is a great teacher....look at the Corvette hobby...if you don't have a numbers matching, "officially documented car" you are the red headed step child and got nothing...nothing of course until you step into the market created by people that sell "official documentation"

Great Marketing

Dave

Hey Barry, you're a straight shooter in my book.

Hopefully you can let this nonsense fade away.

Damn... I swore I wasn't going to post but can't resist...

How much is an OE GOLD Restored 1970 HEMI Cuda worth, Matching everything, gorgeous car but doesn't have any paperwork?

Ok,


How much is the exact same car with all paperwork, original receipts from 1970 - 2010, BCS, Insurance Card, Windows Sticker, owners manual, etc...?

Hardly worthless....

The car is what your buying, whether to restore or drive the piss out of doesn't matter. I believe the one with paperwork is worth more! How much, depends on how deep your pockets are or how much the seller paid for paper.

Seen far too many Cuda's without and original documentaton, making the oringinality of those cars way to difficult to validate.

The only reason the broadcast sheet became valuable is becasue the cars them selves appreciated to the orbit in such a relatively short period of time.

Don't know about any of this non-sense...... but makes me glad I have a non numbers matching, non original, dented up, mopar driver that ain't worth next to nuthin.

This is all PURE ENTERTAINMENT!

There are alot of references to "the hobby" in this thread.

Seems to me that "hobby" and "buisness" and "value/greed" are all conflicting interests

I feel sorry for any of you who weren't around 30 years ago and involved with mopars. Those were by far the best times for "the hobby".

Either you had a numbers car with or without papers or you didn't. There was no reproduction yet, you either found nos at a show or you fixed what you had or you did without.

Best of all, there were NO pro vendors, just people showing what they had and selling there spares/extras.

There weren't any trailers either, everyone drove to and from..... ahhh the good ole' days!!!!

Off topic??? Who cares, It's all a big fricken circus anyhow

WOW Pacifica,


that was great. that sums it up in a nutshell



i've got 2 with all the paperwork and a couple without. yes, i drive them all. i probably have less than 4 decades left on this planet, and that's being optimistic. i want to enjoy the cars while i'm here.

Hi Dave, Are you really considering reproducing broadcast sheets? Since you just announced it, I imagine that you haven't gotten very far with product development on this project yet, but I had a few honest questions if you don't mind.

1. Will your broadcast sheets be licensed by Chrysler?

2. Will your broadcast sheets be clearly marked as reproductions/replacements somewhere on the sheet?

3. How will you gather info on the car that the sheet is for? (does the owner just fill out a worksheet or something?)

4. What will you do about information that should be on the sheet but is simply not available anywhere else? (Time stamp & sequence # for example)

5. Will the sheets be aged to appear old?



I really don't know much about your reproduction window stickers, but I am curious. Would you please answer those same questions about your window stickers?

Tav

Actually if ECS steps up and does make reproduction Broadcast Sheets as Dave annouced, I think I'll get one for the Barrelcuda.
At this time I would like to add 15 X 7 ralley wheels and maybe bill boards

What options of any value are going to be on the option sheet that aren't on the fender tag? Just curious.

I can just see it now. All the cars out there with extra options added will now claim they are original because they have a Broadcast sheet to back it up.
