Hello everyone. Thanks for accepting my membership.
I am in NY and I currently have a 2006 Dakota with the HO V8. It has a lot of flashy stripes and yellow paint. The last guy reupulstered the seats and gave it a touch screen, with backup camera andBluetooth, a tool box, bed cover, etc. It is a great truck but it is hard to use as a truck. I can't put a load of manure in it and it doesn't fit a sheet of sheetrock. So I had to buy a trailer.
When I was 16, my great uncle passed on his 68 Imperial Crown to my father so I would have something to drive. What a car! 4 mpg was tough even with $0.70/gal gas, but it was the talk of the high school.
My father ordered an early 68 Roadrunner, hemi 4 speed, with power nothing. It was a post car (I think) and had the shifter before the Hurst one. Blue. Purchased in floral park on long Island. My guess is that out of the 500 or so with hemi and 4 speeds, there were only a few in blue that were ordered and sold on long Island. Unfortunately, I have no VIN#, and only 1 pic. He sold the car to pay the hospital bill when my sister was born. End of 1968. I wonder where that car is today.
As I was trying to decode what the VIN could be, I came across this site and heard that there was a database kept but can't find it. Chrysler archives told me they only have data up to 1967.
So far, it's very informative. Thanks for the add and I hope to lesrn. Perhaps I'll find a car for me too!
