1970 Dodge Challenger RT - Survivor

Ed -- you have to admit as &quot;youngsters&quot; we did some really goofy/stupid things, like OMVWI or DWI ... so &quot;Whiskey Dents&quot; are damage done to a vehicle due to drinking and driving or hitting something ... TAZ [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

I don't see where F 60-15 is available.

A 383 Challenger R/T was not available with either F60 tires OR a full size 15-inch spare. The correct tire size for a Challenger R/T 383 equipped with 15-inch wheels (which is incredibly rare in and of itself, they are normally 14-inch wheels) is E60 15.

Your car should have a collapsible spare or possibly a 14-inch full size spare. Your ad says &quot;upgraded&quot; to 15 inch wheels, so I guess it did indeed have 14s? Have you found a broadcast sheet for the car?

What you have there is a combination of wheel and tire that is probably out of a B-Body: Roadrunner, GTX, Super Bee etc. and is worth about $1000-$1500 to the right person as it has the rare '450' steel wheel.



OR F70-14 full size spare:

neat stuff !! Always learning here !!! why was the 15 not available w the 440 vert? I assume the conv. top got in the way?..but it was available w 383 vert? hmmmmm... a weight thing w space saver spare?



back to this beautiful car !! I vividly remember when my next door neighbor came home one day after trading his 70 Judge for an RT 440-4 speed, yellow w/ the side striping...I was about 12-13 years old....he took me for a ride...
I instantly became a Mopar fan !!!

this car with original paint is a sweet survivor !! GLWS !!

NO e-body Mopar originally equipped with 15-inch wheels was available with a full size 15-inch spare - only a collapsible. The trunks in them simply did not have the room for 15s. Further, if your car did have 14s on it and was equipped with the twin rear speaker option OR rear defogger you also had to have the collapsible spare -not a full size 14 spare as there was, again, no room.

Man, cars don't get any drier. What is the number in white on the wheel well?

Cool - are front disc brakes pretty rare for a 383 car?
