With the red drums in evidence - it could have either 14 or 15" Rallye wheels....or 14" Road wheels.
Is the original spare in it? If it has a space saver then it was more than likely 15" Rallye wheels. I'll ask around on Shaker Emblems....check Ebay...but be careful! Have a look at Barry Washington's site....lots of good info. http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/library.shtml http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/...racuda0032.jpg http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/...ries%20(3).jpg

Jim, yeah, good info. I talked to Barry a few times. His site is a great source of info. No original spare in there, which leads to debate on the wheels. And the spare tire mounting stud is long gone which would have indicated if it were space saver or steel wheel based on its mounting positon.
 But..... two 14" Ralleye wheels on the car are dated 3-23-70 and Crusty's SPD is 4-30-70, so good chance they are original to the car. Speedo gear is for 3.23 F70x14, which adds to the 14" conclusion. I do have past owner info I can contact and see if they may recall. Second owner had the car from mid seventies on, so he might know. But James is a pretty good sleuth and think he'd have already tried to figure it out and his conclusion is 14" Ralleyes with full sized spare. But I'll keep digging! I'm thinking it's 14" Ralleye as well. She's on her way here! Picked up last night and should be rolling to TX tomorrow or Saturday!!! And so it begins..... Cheers  Dave PS: Yes... bubble shouldn't be black!

Crusty got here yesterday and of course, I wasn't home. But, Kelly took delivery for me and happy to report, the new project is in the shop waiting for me to get home!
 Unfortunately for now, I'll just have to sit there and make engine noises like James used to do until I start on it next year.  More to come..... Cheers Dave

Thanks guys! Maestro? Maybe of a one-man-band!
 Or is that the guy that stands on the corner and twirls "New Homes! Turn Here!!" signs when it's 100 outside? But thanks for the confidence boost my friend! Much appreciated!That'll be the vision when done, Lee! Looked over it yesterday. Nothing that I didn't already know: trunk floor (on a Mopar? Really!? ) some cowl work, floor patches, lower rear quarter patches. Surprisingly, the rear window channel is solid! The 340 is fully rebuilt and ready to be completed when the time comes. It's sitting in DP so it'll be protected while it sits. Drips, bare oil pan bottom, sprayed over water pump bypass hose to come!!  Regardless of the motor not running...I sat in the car and made some engine sounds. Didn't want to start on the first try, then the battery died.  But after a jump, she fired right up!Cheers Dave
