I hope you'll all like this and support it, it just went live last night. I wanted to provide a framework for the Charger community to record these cars. Let's face it, many cars pop up in an ad for a couple of days and then may be gone from view for decades. Or certainly there is always the possibility of them being wrecked or crushed. And these cars (and owners!) aren't getting any younger. In fact, I'm hoping that some of you have tags from junkyards for cars that are no longer around and will enter what you have. Please add VIN, Fender Tag, or both.

I didn't want a closed/private/proprietary setup. There is plenty more a closed setup could offer that this one does not - such as connecting owners, but this won't be the place for that. This registry is about documenting Chargers as they left the factory.

If you have pics you'd like to show, or a build thread, then add a link in the submittal form. It's the last entry. If you mess up on some entry, or want something added later like the photo link, just email here and I'll correct/add it: [email protected]

So this has been about a year in the making, on and off, as I figured out how spreadsheet formulas work. If you really want to know what it took click on a cell in row 5. And I wanted something that could be handed off if I get tired of it or hit by a bus, and this drives the open concept. The whole setup is free and under one Google account, so it's easily portable too.

I'd like to primarily moderate if from a thread over at dc.com. But if you're only a member here I'll check this thread too.

Here's a peek at what submittal looks like, it's automated and via Google Forms.

And in to the Google Sheet database. Raw data is in a tab at the bottom. Download a copy if you'd like!

This all outputs to stats. We're very Hemi-heavy right now and need others to help balance it out. :p

A few technical notes:

1. Data can take up to a minute to populate on the Google Sheet, there is a progress bar in the upper right.

2. Columns are sortable, hover over the column head to get the down pointing arrow and click on it:

Resorting a column can take a minute or more as the Sheet updates, again watch for the progress bar.


3. I've filled in codes, click on the little black triangle in the upper corner of option cells:

4. The stats page is going to get long at some point with digits 8-13 of the VIN and the SO numbers. Right now there isn't an easy solution, so I'll probably end up duplicating the page without those figures with charts I'll make.

5. If you find any errors or omissions send me a note at: [email protected]
 
Been waiting for a 68 Registry for awhile. Thanks. Been trying to track down a Charger R/T that was stolen from my backyard as well, I still have title, buildsheet and fender tags. I keep checking sites to see if it pops up.
 
I like the idea of these registries, as long as the information is available for sharing to people who want to know.
Too often these sites pop up and the information is held like a State-Secret, and it's a big deal to get any answers to questions on a restoration project.
Good luck with it...I only wish there was one for '70 GTX & Roadrunner that was accessible for solid information - not just a pretty photo.
 
Well, if anyone wants to step forward to admin a GTX/RR page like this setup I certainly could help get them started.
 
I was starting to say that this was a PITA to enter info.. but then I did it and it wasn't half bad. Nice job. In any case there's another 440 on the list to balance out the hemis you've got.. although from the looks of the stats, you've got all kinds now.
 
Thanks!

The Google Form submission made it about as easy as it gets for entering the tag info. I wanted to make it like ordering your Charger back in the day and then seeing the build sheet.
 
Thanks worked pretty easy, will add the rest later.
