Odd that anyone would be upset. Some of the details on these cars are extremely hard to find 40 years later.
Some things are not meshing together, but hopefully we can figure them out with time.
That said, I did some more digging. I have more questions than answers at this point.
New wider oval 15-inch 60 series tires are standard with 340 and 426 engines;

http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/images/dealerships/DealershipDataBook/1970/70_Challenger0024.jpgSame tires, so why mention the moldings being deleted only on the 340 cars if they intended to leave them off the 426 cars too?
From the 1970 Hemi Challenger broadcast sheets I have here, those with scheduled production dates Dec. 16 & before are coded for the wheel lip moldings. Those with scheduled production dates from March fifth up are not, no code at all.
Some AARs are coded M27 - Wheel lip molding delete. So, if the 1970 Hemi Challengers were meant to have the standard wheel lip moldings deleted, why did they not use the same code?
If anyone has a broadcast sheet for a 1970 Hemi Challenger between the scheduled production dates of C16 & 305 please send me a scan or copy?
Or if you have one not consistent with my findings in those date ranges?
I do love a good mystery.
