Another item was claimed in January!

Our IOTM for February 2024 is a broadcast sheet for a 1970 Cuda hardtop & I noticed a very cool coincidence!

This sheet just came in the mail, so I did my normal routine, adding it to the Registry database & forwarding the VIN to my webmaster so the VIN could be listed in the found section here.

I also have a database for tracking 1970 Hamtramck actual build sequence starts VS. assigned VIN numbers. This is where this story takes a turn...

Back in February of 2007, we listed a broadcast sheet for a 1970 Challenger R/T. The VIN on it was JS23N0B239900. By comparing the broadcast sheet print sequence numbers, its job was started just ONE car BEFORE our current IOTM. The VIN on it is BS23N0B242014.

Yep, the VINs are close to 5,000 apart & the scheduled production dates are over a week apart, yet these two car builds were started one after the other!

The two sheets are from the same printer & were printed 2/100ths of a minute apart. The Feb. 2007 IOTM has not been claimed yet, so I pulled it out of the file. These sheets were connected at a perforated line when printed & the minute tear details prove that these two sheets were once connected. VERY cool to see!

Thanks for sending it in Gary!

Records for four more cars were claimed in February!

Our IOTM for March 2024 is a broadcast sheet for a 1970 Challenger 340. The VIN on the sheet is JH23H0B152618

This one was found inside a bucket seat back as so many are. In an odd twist of fate though, a pal spotted a 1940s pickup in the lot where he worked & it had Challenger front seats mounted in it. He was able to get permission to search the seats he made a very cool find!

Thanks for getting it to me Jeff!
