You'd have to find that info in a special flyer specific to that model that was meant for the dealership only. Typically these spring special packages were just a way to order a group of options under one code at a cheaper price. They usually are no big deal. To see an example you can look at the What's New from Dodge links on the Hamtramck-Historical page linked to above.

Mine came with D78-14 dual white stripe tires. Coded on the broadcast sheet as T16. My car was assembled at the Windsor plant as well (same as yours). What's interesting, is that the A14 code is not on the fender tag, but is only on the broadcast sheet. Dan

Yes, but I have a friend who has a 70 Dart with A14 on his broadcast sheet, with a 318. His was also assembled at Windsor as well. Don't know why the window sticker shown says "final assembly Detroit, Michigan", when the plant code is "R" (Windsor).

From our research on the Valiant project we found in 1970 that the 6.95x14 tires were single stripe wsw and the larger D78x14 were dual stripe wsw. Since this is a marketing package it is not surprising the A14 code is not on the fender tag. Dave DodgeMaterial - Dave JS29U0B - FK5 - 440-4 Auto WS23V0A - EB5 - 440-6 Auto

I know it does have the 318 torsion bars because of the a/c. Dan
