4k mile 1 owner V code Cuda

That's a beautiful example, so rare to see them with the original E60 Polyglas tires. Usually long replaced by the F60s.

Pet peeve: if you bought the car it isn't an "original owner car". You're the second owner. It is no longer a one-owner car. I wish people would stop saying that, it's mis-leading. Don't care if it is still "in his name", money changed hands, bill of sale was signed. Car is now the second owners' vehicle.

Agree on both above. So so hard to find those tires now. And I too thought it was stupid to call this a one owner car, it's not.

So - sidebar:

What do you call a car that the son of the original owner (now deceased) has?

"Original family owned"? Original owner's son owned"?

All of the verbiage is a bit clunky.

So this means that the 440-6 cars got E60's and the Hemi cars got F60's? Wasn't aware of that.

I sold an NOS pair of Goodyear E60 15's to a Guy at Jefferson swap meet about 5 years ago and he told me the only E Body's that had had them from the factory were the front only of the TA, AAR and HEMI Cars. If I remember correctly I got $1500.00 for the pair. FWIW

good info above, I just assumed F60 would be fine on the 340 70 cuda convert I am restoring (original 15" wheel car) but now I need to look at the window sticker info as I bet it will say E60. crap.

HEMI cars did not receive E60s, only F60s. Your 340 car would have received E60s, however I have seen 340 & 383 cars that were optionally equipped with 15-inch wheels get rolled fenders, even though not a Hemi car. Have a look at yours.

I believe they were rolled. Need to double check but 90% sure.

If they have been rolled the F60s will fit no problem and they will fill out your wheel wells nicely.

Absolutely they were rolled. The Hemi Challenger I bought from the OO and restored back in the 80's had them. Original fenders were rusted so I bought new ones direct from Chrysler. One side was still available with the rolled lip, the other side I had to have the body shop roll the lip to match. Must have been some really tight clearance such that an F60 required the rolled lip but the E60 did not.

BBBill, the F60s were part & parcel of the package you got when ordering the 426 Hemi engine. Apparently n/a with other engines so no need to list them as an option. Same deal with the tires that came with the AAR Cuda and T/A Challenger.
