Happy New Year everyone, we had

Our first IOTM for 2010
is a broadcast sheet for a 1970 Challenger T/A in Bright
Blue Metallic. The VIN is JH23J0B296403 , this sheet is
free to the owner of the car with proof of legal ownership
& proof that the car still exists.
This sheet was found inside a
bucket seat of this White Challenger T/A with a blue interior,
you can see it on top of the car.

February 2010 |
We did not have any items claimed
in January, but one T/A owner was put in touch with the
person that had their original engine & another person was
put in contact with two people, each of which have broadcast
sheets for two of his cars! This is the first time I can
remember one person finding out about two sheets for two
of his cars on the same day! Thanks to Buzz, Paul & Ola
for their assistance on these reunions.
Our IOTM for February is
a broadcast sheet for a 1970 Challenger R/T in Hemi Orange
with a black vinyl top, interior & side moldings. The VIN
is JS23U0B162154 , this sheet is free to the owner of the
car with proof of legal ownership & proof that the car still
exists.
Thanks to Dave in California
for sending this one in!

March 2010 |
We had another item claimed in
February! For March, we have two Items Of The Month, both
of these broadcast sheets were found in the bucket seat
backs of a third car. These once again show that the cars
were built way out of VIN sequence with little regard to
the Scheduled Production Dates.

The VINs one these two broadcast
sheets are BS23V0B157442 & BH23G0B166082 , both sheets are
free to the owners of the cars with proof of legal ownership
& proof that the car(s) still exists.
Thanks to Cecil for sending these
in!
This month also marks the 5th
Anniversary of HH, thanks to everyone that has helped along
the way!

April 2010 |
We had another item claimed in
March! For April, we have a broadcast sheet for a Hamtramck
built Challenger Western Sport Special. This option package
(A91) was a mid-model year introduction for the California
market. Initially, all Challenger Western Sport Specials
were supposed to be built at the Los Angeles assembly plant,
the earliest & latest scheduled production dates I have
on file for the LA built A91 cars so far are Jan. 7th, 1970
& May 5th 1970.
At some point in early May, the
LA plant stopped E-Body production & the orders were
transferred to the Hamtramck plant so the cars could be
built there. The earliest scheduled production date I have
on file so far for a Hamtramck built Challenger Western
Sport Special is June 6, 1970.
If anyone has a WSS from either
plant & you have not contacted me about it, please do
so. Also, if you have ANY E- body from the LA plant with
a May scheduled production date, please let me know? It
would be nice to narrow down the date / VIN range for the
last of the E-Bodies built at LA.
The VIN is JH23G0B382702 , this
broadcast sheet is free to the owner of the car with proof
of legal ownership & proof that the car still exists.

June 2010 |
We had items claimed for two
more cars in May! For June, we have another broadcast sheet
for a Challenger T/A, the VIN is JH23J0B299177.
This sheet was one of four found
in the low mile T/A & the only one that was for a different
car. Interestingly enough, the VINs were 588 apart but they
were actually built 12 cars apart according to the broadcast
sheet sequence numbers. For more details on this scenario
please check past items of the month where I discussed similar
situations in more detail.

July 2010 |
For our July IOTM we have a broadcast
sheet that was sent in last month by Mike in SC, he found
it in a bucket seat of his Challenger T/A. It is for a Challenger
R/T convertible, the VIN is JS27U0B281117.
This broadcast sheet is free
to the owner of the car with proof of legal ownership &
proof that the car still exists. Hopefully someone out there
has a front seat with a broadcast sheet inside it for Mike's
T/A as well, if you have not checked your car or any spare
seats you may have for them yet please do so & let me know
what you find?
Carlisle is right around the corner as well, so if you have
any 'found' items that you would like to hand over to me
in person, please bring them to the show with you, see you
soon!

to Rick for finding it & turning it in.

September 2010 |
For our September IOTM we have
a broadcast sheet for a 1970 Challenger Coupe in Panther
Pink. I can now do 'color reports' for the 1970 E-bodies.
(see the services
section for more info) So I did a quick count of the
Panther Pink A93 Challengers currently in the Hamtramck
& LA registries and I have heard of only 6 so far with
three different engine sizes.
They are:
- JH23B - 2 known so far. (one has been parted out)
- JH23C - 1 known so far. (it has been parted out)
- JH23G - 3 known so far.
Please keep in mind that these
numbers can only go up as more data comes in, no one knows
how many were actually made. If you have any information
on one, please let me know? It would be nice to hear of
one that is still all original, does anyone have one? For
all owners & fans of factory FM3 cars be sure to visit
as well.
This broadcast sheet is for one
of the 318 cars, the VIN is JH23G0B282545 and it is free
to the owner of the car with proof of legal ownership.
Thanks to Seth for finding it & turning it in!

October 2010 |
We had one more item claimed
in September! For our October IOTM we have a broadcast sheet
for a 1970 Road Runner with the 440-6 engine, the VIN is
RM23V0G157781.
This one was a bit of a mess
when it arrived, so I also used it for a new 'how-to' article
on preserving shredded broadcast sheets that you can see
here - How
to Assemble and Preserve Your Shredded Broadcast Sheet
Thanks to Ryan for finding it,
saving all the pieces he could & mailing it in!

November 2010 |
We did not have any items claimed
in October. For our November IOTM we have a broadcast sheet
for a 1970 Barracuda Convertible with the 225 slant six
engine, the VIN is BH27C0B319225.
One of our registry members found
this sheet in one of the bucket seats of his car & sent
it in from CT, thanks Steven!
On another note, 2010 has been quite bad for the registry
financially. For all the folks that have mentioned making
a donation over the last few years but haven't quite got
around to it, now would be a great time!
Thanks to everyone that has helped
support my efforts here, it is greatly appreciated.

December 2010 |
Hey gang, we did not have any
items claimed in November. I had mentioned last month that
the registry was having a bad year financially & five people
made donations that totaled over $600.00, thank you very
much!
One of those donations came via
PayPal & really got my attention with this note, (I removed
his last name & city just in case he wants some anonymity)
;
"Barry, This is Hal from PA.
2 1/2 years ago I bought an AAR Cuda. I found a build sheet
from another AAR in the car. I sold it to you on Ebay as
I needed all the money I could get at that time. Things
have improved and I want to make the sale a donation now."
You read it right folks. An Ebay
seller returned the money I paid to him over two years ago
for the extra broadcast sheet he found in his AAR! I was
completely shocked when I read his note.
So, for our December IOTM we
have that same broadcast sheet, it is for a 1970 AAR Cuda
& the VIN is BS23J0B308443 - It is free to the owner of
the car with proof of legal ownership & proof that the car
still exists.
Thanks once again to everyone
that has helped support our efforts here & a very special
THANK YOU to Hal in PA.
Happy Holidays from the entire HH staff & yes Hal, I am
still in shock............
