Production number

[Derelicte]

Ok so I bought my Daytona used and always wondered why I didn't have a number plate on the radio bezel. I called Chrysler Canada and gave them my vin and they faxed me the build sheet for my truck. listed is "Daytona package" on the build sheet so if these are all numbered trucks why isn't mine????

Thanks for the reply. I am currently working out of town but will post pics when I get back to my computer. Its doesn't make sense to me I have the Daytona inserts on the doors and a plain orange radio bezel with no number.... Thought maybe some tryd to build one, so I called Chrysler and had them fax me the build sheet and says Daytona package listed on build. Is it possible some working for a dealship could have special order this ??? As maybe all numbered trucks were already produced??

sorry for the late reply so with working out of town and family matters heres some pics of my truck its a work in progress i ripped the front chinspoiler off due to high curbs. i have an srt 10 front bumper in the garaged roll pan and need to have the box cover and tailgate painted to match the truck. the truck got keyed awhile ago and when i had the side repainted it was 500 for new daytona decals so i never had them put back on. i plan to when i get everything painted and mount the spoiler on the cover. but heres some interior so u see about me missing the number plate. i have been on the phone with chysler canada, and at dealerships trying to get an answer. no one can answer me and i have a copy of the build sheet with it listing daytona edition. the chyrsler rep told me mine isnt a limited edition truck and its a daytona from factory with no production number. so how the hell is this possible was under the understanding there is only limited edition trucks made. he had no answer for me. is that not the reason of buying these trucks as there limited and only so many made??? seems to me some fraud is going on and i want to know how they can get away with building a daytona edition truck without production number....any one have any suggestions for me i dont no what else to do.

Sincerely,

[ontariobee]

You have a superchips edition daytona, very rare. I dunno why, i also think the previous owner took it off for a keep sake

[Derelicte]

previous owner stuck them on there... like i said above i have called chysler canada several times. one guy told me it left the factory without production number and isnt a limited edition other rep tells me he has no idea why it wouldnt have a number. no one can answer me.

[Derelicte]

if the original owner kept it how do i go about getting a new? one thats what i want. i talked to the dealer and they basically told me they dont make them and cant get one. others say that my truck isnt a limited edition daytona so i cant get one...

[Derelicte]

on my build sheet i copy pasted it says daytona edition group but no where does it say its you know number 453 out of #### should it list this on the build sheet

[ryland20]

No, it won't list daytona number on the build sheet - the best bet is to contact someone at Chrysler/Dodge, they should be able to find what numbered edition your Daytona was based on the VIN code; when and where it rolled off the production line. "They" have all this info...it's whether or not they want to take the time to research it and give it to you.

Best of luck!

Not sure if any one has posted this up on here

I found this on one website

There were just over 10,000 Dodge Ram Daytona made. They were available in Bright Silver Metallic and Go ManGo Orange in both Single and Quad Cab with 4x2 and 4x4 versions.


Dodge no longer sets production limits for two reasons, first; if it sells, sell it and second; Dodge has had issues with Rumble Bee owners after producing a larger swarm than had been advertised and than a second swarm the next year. Since that incident, Dodge has refused to release the number of "Limited" quantities to be produced or even acknowledge said quantities post production.



And from another site

The Ram Daytona will be available with either a 4x4 or 4x2 drivetrains and in regular cab or Quad Cab body style. The regular cab will have a molded side sill while the Quad Cab includes a running board. Only two colors will be offered: Go Mango, which is a burnt orange shown in our photos, or Silver Metallic. These colors will also accent the center bezel on the dash and highlight the instrument panel. Other interior features include premium cloth seating and Daytona monograms in the headrests and floor mats.

Included in the Daytona package will be the 5.7-liter Hemi engine, 5-speed automatic transmission and 3.92:1 rear axle ratio.

“This was a cooperative effort between product planning and marketing together with the technical department,” explains Eberhart. “More and more, we actually bring Mopar Performance into the fold. In the Daytona, a lot of parts are Mopar engineered.”

Like the Rumble Bee, the Daytona will be a limited edition and feature a numbered plaque on the dash. However, Dodge officials have not set the production number. Owners of Rumble Bees have filled Internet forums with complaints that production of that limited edition exceeded the advertised 3700. However, Eberhart steadfastly denied that there was any overrun.
“We built exactly what we said we were going to build,” says Eberhart. “Otherwise you lose the draw you get with these (limited edition) vehicles.”

another website seems to have a break down of Daytonas by color & cab type

about the limited edition Rumble Bee
Many Rumblebees were maybe being built by Dealerships, they were not part of the FACTORY production run, there were only 3700 2004 year models built by the factory, but, there are over 9,800 Rumblebees 2004 & 05 year models with all the proper identification. There was a law suit filed against Chrysler for doing an over run
