Is it possible to reproduce a build sheet based on the info from the fender tag/VIN? When I disassembled my car years ago, all I found was the extreme upper left corner which had no useful info.

No.

Unscrupulous people do make fake documentation for others, it helps them make their boat payments.

But once any fake documentation is associated with a car, that cars value drops drastically.

The car owner that had it made takes a huge hit to his reputation as well.

It was not my intent to be deceptive, but, rather hoping there would be a record of all the details that the fender tag does not show.

The only way that can happen is if at least one intact, original broadcast sheet that matches your car is found in it - or inside another car.

I see what you want to do but the things not on the fender tag are things not easily figured out.

For example wheels are listed on the build sheet and not the fender tag. At this point in the time it is impossible to know if it had 14 or 15 inch wheels. Rallye wheels, road wheels or hubcaps. If it has hubcaps what kind?

The list of things not easily figured out is expansive.



Alaskan T/A can correct me if I am wrong he definitely knows this better than i do.

This is probably a stupid question, but does Chrysler Corp have an archive with this info? Probably not as the records would have long since been purged or otherwise lost to time. I'm fairly sure if there was, I would already know of it.

Some older and newer stuff has information but the muscle car era was lost.

Kinda sad because GM and Ford have a lot of information but we have some percentages and general statistics but no specifics.

Records from that era were supposedly lost in a fire.
