I sold a perfect matching set of 5 with all the same date code 7-8 years ago for $1200.00 my guess is now that same set would more than double that 69.5 A12 Bee, first purchased in 1976, car 169 on registry 69 Coronet R/T 440/4 spd 69 Coronet 500 Conv H code 383 4bbl/auto 37 Plymouth PU Find your spot on earth and ride it.

He bought a new GTX and there was a problem with wheels at the time and his came with plain rims. I haven't looked at them in years. Just wondering. Ricky

If I remember right, there was a shortage because of a strike at a wheel plant and all he could get was steel wheels. Probably why they are 14s. He went straight from dealer to get a set of Americans. Last edited by Got JOB; 12/29/13 12:32 AM.

Those are the same as the 69 1/2 six pack cars and are even worth more.... That's more of a "supply & demand" issue - both wheels are basically Chrysler Corp's. Heavy-Duty 15x6.0" plain steel wheel. There are simply more people looking for '69 "H" wheels than '68 "HEMI" wheels. In '68 there were ~2200 HEMI cars (as well as others) that came from the factory with the "HEMI" wheels. In '69 there were ~1900 HEMI cars & ~3300 A12 cars (as well as others) that came from the factory with "H" wheels.
