People collect VIN and option data for various reasons.
1) it puts package car data with a single SPD production into context by comparing VINs to regular production. The data shows when and about how many cars were in a batch.
2) it helps answer the questions of “how many *** are known”, “what is my engine out of”, and “is this an odd combo”? How many T-bar and sun roof cars?
3) some people are insanely curious regarding details of how things were actually done at the factory instead of relying on urban legends, poor prior articles or writing, or guessing.
4) OCD. Some of us can’t stand to have squares in our waffles without syrup. We HAVE to have completeness. Every new VIN helps with that.

1979 CHRYSLER 300
29,416 DOCUMENTED ACTUAL ORIGINAL MILES. THIS IS A TRUE TIME CAPSULE!
A THREE OWNER SURVIVOR THAT REMAINED IN THE ORIGINAL OWNERS FAMILY UNTIL 2004.
THIS CAR IS VERY HIGHLY DOCUMENTED AND INCLUDES A COMPLETE BINDER FULL OF DOCUMENTATION WITH THE CAR. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW ON APRIL 10TH, 1980 FROM DANA BROTHERS CHRYSLER IN TEMPE, ARIZONA BY A RANCHER NAMED HENRY SENGER. HENRY HAD PROPERTY IN ARIZONA AND OREGON AND MADE A FEW TRIPS BACK AND FORTH WITH THE CAR OVER THE YEARS AND DROVE HER VERY SPARINGLY WHILE MAINTAINING ITS ORIGINALITY AND FACTORY CORRECT FORM. THE CAR WAS THEN WILLED TO HIS DAUGHTER AFTER HIS PASSING AND REMAINED IN THE FAMILY UNTIL 2004, WHEN IT WAS SOLD TO A COLLECTOR IN COLORADO. HE KEPT THE CAR UNTIL 2012 AND THEN SOLD IT TO THE THIRD OWNER WHO IS AN AVID COLLECTOR. WE RECENTLY PURCHASED THE CAR FROM HIM WHEN HE DECIDED TO THIN HIS COLLECTION.
