I think I can pinpoint the part of your confusion:

[ QUOTE ]

The absence of a "C" in the /6 production numbers means there were NONE for these /6 Charger being discuss shipped to Canada. He indicates in his remarks that "E" indicates shipped export cars but there are none indicated throughout my book, and as I posted above may account for the missing figures YOU commented on.

[/ QUOTE ]

You are incorrect in inferring that a lack of detail on C or E numbers means there are none.

Posted here for your perusal is what Galen has - it's a production figure report (in this case, for a 1969 Barracuda):



This list is for US-spec cars only. This is how Chrysler kept records. Were Canadian cars kept by Chrysler of Canada? Possibly, which is why it's so hard to find info on Canadian numbers, if not export numbers. If you're so sure that the lack of Canadian /6 numbers in the book means none were built for Canada, why didn't Galen indicate Canadian figures for every other car in the book?

And have you noticed that the Canadian figures in the book are mainly Hemi cars?

There are plenty of Mopar people who can back me up with this. You need to chalk this as one of those "Damn, I was mistaken all this time" episodes, which happens to me on occasion.
