How can you tell what order your car came off the assembly line?

Was discussing with another person that for Hellcats the vin is not indicative of the lineal order. We looked at my sticker and it says October 2014. Im thinking I have a really low lineal order number. Anyone have a resource for looking this up?

If I remember right you almost cant anymore. At least not by the VIN. I'm sure Dodge has the info but I've seen nothing on it anywhere.

unfortunately, don't know that it'd be possible without @ResumeSpeed. RS produced build #'s for the 1st allocation round, and maybe some later. If someone's still in contact, might get lucky

EDIT:

my 2015 HC was built on 23 September 2014. It was #20 in North AMerica and #25 worldwide. It first went to a dealer in Fl in December, then NY then MD and was finally sold in March of 2015. Car was probably beat to death between the 3 dealers but worked great for me.

RS (ResumeSpeed) was able to look it up for me. he hasnt been heard from since FCA shut him down in 2019 or so. :(

I still have contact info for RS, but it was made pretty clear that he (and Plum) weren't going to do sequence numbers anymore.

It was a combination of being inundated by requests nor being viable to do anymore.

Have you called the assembly plant directly and asked? I'm sure they keep a whole file cabinet full of documents ready to dole that out to customers that call. Make sure to ask for the general manager for best / fastest service.

My wife would say I am a wise ass. No breakfast this morning at all, actually.

Back when he was around RS was even able to give me 5 pages of the tracking info for my car. I can tell you exactly when it was in framing, paint, off the line in, on the train, and so on. Never saw that anyone else got that info on their cars, which makes it even cooler to me. One cool thing I learned from the papers is that my car was pulled for extra inspection, though I dont know why.

That's out standing, but they can't do that for everyone. It would be a full time job
