65dartcharger,

Thank you. I must say that you are the reason I started this narrative, the mystery engine tag. I will get to that part of my story sometime today. I am in awe of your build. I must admit that I was unaware of the existence of the 1965 Dart Chargers as a model. I believe that you said some where in your thread that there were only 78 built?

Thanks Again,

Stan

Thanks for the kind words Stan. What I have found out is that there were built some 180 factory cars at the LA plant in 64/65 and about 300 dealerkits to be put on cars in the showroom. Since 1989 I have running a register on them and up to this day there is only 24 cars that have been found yet.

I must say that those stories really brings back memories. The third time I was in US in 1988 I became friend with an old gentlemen that was really into Mopars. He told me alot of stories from the WW2 when he was in the Navy. He was stationed on Pearl Harbour when the war came. After a couple of years he called me a said that I could have his wooden crate where they had all their personal belongings when they vent back to San Diego. So the year after that when I came to Portland he showed me the box and the stampings on it. I have kept the box stored safetly.

Looking forward to hear the rest of the story Stan.
PS. Let me know if you need any other pictures of the tag.
