Hi All,
I've read a few posts here that talk about my car being possibly one of only two ever made. I just want to see if someone can tell me where they're getting those numbers. I've heard everything from 2 to 10. I also was wondering if someone would be willing to help me out with the numbers I pulled off it. Thanks in advance, and hope everyone is doing well.

Hi,
I remember seeing this car for sale a while back.....I'm not sure of production numbers but definitely one of Mopars best body styles. I think its a neat and unique automobile you have there. Definitely get some pics up to share.

Ha, I'm knocking this out. Gotta love the Internet. And I'm not crazy talking to myself here ... I just figured this could help someone else along the way.

PT225 R 2238000

PT = Trenton, MI Plant

225 = cu. inch

R = Some say regular gas, another says Ontario plant?

2238 = based on 10,000-day Chrysler Julian calendar (Wednesday, September 13, 1967)
http://maxwedge.com/articles/10k.php

000 = I'm actually missing a number, but this is the number engine block built that day (mine is some number under 10 ... I'll have to look again someday to get that last digit!)
