Just beautiful! Is it a 340 car? Can't quite make it out.

Sam,

Yes, it's a 340 car. The A66 Package included the 340 4-BBL (This was the only way you could get it and the first level performance package), the Power Bulge Hood, Hood Pins, 15 inch Wheels, Front and Rear Sway Bars, Chrome Dual Mirrors and the Tail Stripe.

I always found those cars interesting because they were base Challengers, not R/Ts. Meanwhile, over at Plymouth, the 340 in the Barracuda was only available as part of the 'Cuda model.

Then, for 1971, the 340 was available on both the base Challenger <span style="font-style: italic">and</span> the R/T.

Diego,

Another thing my car has is factory rolled fender lips like the Hemi cars. It appears that Dodge was setting these cars up for high performance wheel and tire combinations. Did the 'Cuda get these as well? Thanks for your help, Ed

As far as I know, the Hemi 'cudas in '70 got the &quot;rolled&quot; front fenders to accommodate the mandatory F60-15 tire/wheel combo. I would suspect that this would be an option for other non-Hemi 'cudas. AARs had the F60-15s didn't they? I suspect they had &quot;rolled&quot; front fenders too.
