Re: Spring Vettefest - Pictures!
Belair,
I do have a full page black & white ad showing the Challenger mounted with an M/T Super Stock drag slick. There's also another small ad for them in one of my old catalogs, maybe Honest Charley. I don't have anything scanned though.
I know the wheels have often been referred to as "M/T Radars". They do look very similar, but I don't believe Radar ever produced a 3-rib spoke. I've often wondered if Mickey Thompson modified a Radar mold and added the two extra ribs, then marketed his own wheels. Each wheel is cast with "M/T 1965" inside the back of one spoke.
I think they're great looking wheels, but I'm sorry, those "radir" things just rub me the wrong way, no matter how cool the car is. Can't help it.
