It did happen, at least once in a while. If the car came that way I would leave them as is myself. 7151869-RIM00075.JPG (127 downloads)

My rebuilder and I had quite the laugh over this last night whan I realized it. I've owned the car since new and never noticed it until someone from this website pointed it out. Anyway, new one on the way today. If this is the only mistake in my restoration, I've done well!

Everywhere you went people would be commenting on your $50K restoration and how they made such an obvious mistake. It just look wrong IMHO. BTW, I still have an original NOS set of callouts with the Chrysler part number on the back which tells you for sure that there is one for one side and one for the other. At least it is an easy fix. Nice car! 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A
