I didn't know the "package wasn't available from the start of the model year. earliest VINs I have recorded are: "B" - MI - JH23H0B1158xx - SPD 90? "E" - LA - JH23H0E1096xx - SPD A03
Quote: per the '70 Dodge "salesman's pocket guide" 9/23/69 version: CODE A66 - Challenger 340 CID engine package - $258.90 NA Special Edition (29), NA R/T (JS) 15" Rallye wheels (W21) - required at EXTRA cost collapsable spare (W34) - required at EXTRA cost
this changed at some point - as the following shows
per the '70 Dodge "dealership data book" no date found CODE A66 - Challenger 340 CID engine package - includes 340 engine - E55 F70-14 RWL tires - T87 R/T hood H.D. brakes H.D. suspension "bumble bee" stripe "scat pack" decals wheel lip mouldings "DELETED"
Quote: 10/20/69: Effective immediately, F70x14-inch RWL tires (T87) are standard with the 340 Performance Package. The E60x15-inch tires (U82) will be optional at extra cost. The Collapsible Spare (W34) and Rallye Wheels will no longer be required with the 340 Package. A Rear Spoiler in Dull Black (J81) will be available in early November. Effective immediately, Performance Axle Packages A31 and A36 are available with the 340 Package.
Effective immeadiately - DID THEY CUT THE PRICE by ~ $50? or add other features to the "package"?
Quote: The Challenger T/A Fiberglass Hood (N94) is now available on all Challenger models with 4-barrel engines.
