1970 Black Challengers

[1969z280]

Sam,

Maybe it was because of the 15 inch wheels. The Challenger came with E60 15s. The odd thing about this car is the rear lips appear to be factory rolled as well. I believe the AAR and TA came with E60 15s and G60 15s.

Thanks John! Did you ever get that little Camaro that we talked about?

Most Hemi cudas have an additional fender tag saying "Hemi fender" which of course is a reference to the rolling of the fenders. No mention of rear quarters being altered on these tags that I know of. But ,I have not checked the rear quarter lips of these cars.

I don't believe the Trans Am cars were supposed to come with Hemi fenders, although some apparently did. I've looked at half a dozen original paint T/As and AARs over the years that didn't have rolled fenders.

I've seen a couple of Hemi Challengers without the rolled fenders, but never a HemiCuda. Chrysler, go figure. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

My old Hemi Challenger originally had the rolled fender lips. When I restored the car and got NOS fenders from Chrysler, one side was available with the rolled lip and one was not. I had the body shop roll the other lip to match.

I seem to recall that the AAR 'Cudas and/or T/A Challengers had a fender tag that read &quot;Trans Am Fender&quot; [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/confused.gif[/img]

Yes Bill, you are correct.... my buddies MR. Norm T/A has the rolled lip fenders.

Pretty sure the T/A fender was a different part # than the Hemi fender. And I think it was rendered moot by the smaller front tire on the production cars.

My '70 Hemi Challenger still has its' original fenders - rolled lips.

What is your Challenger's tire and wheel size per broadcast sheet or other evidence Bergy?

[Bill Pritchard]

Sam,

I can't answer for Bergy but mine originally came with 15x7 Rally wheels with F60-15 tires.

Sam - 15&quot; Rallys with white letter tires. I can't recall the tire size on the broadcast sheet, and I'm not in PA to look it up right now. The wheels on it are originals - all the same December '69 date.
