OK, I went out in the garage and pulled the trim ring off the 14” rally? Per your date wheel mine is Month 8. Day27. Part number 2944252. It has been painted, I can’t tell the plant, it is blurry. With car build date late September, I think these rallys could be original to car.what is your opinion. Is there no year stamp? Your wheels should have parts numbers and date codes stamped on them. They appear around the valve stem hole. You should inspect them to help determine if they are possibly original to your car. Your spare tire configuration and date codes may also lend some useful information.

is a 1970 & 1971 14x5.5" Rallye wheel. The year designator is under the plant code. M is Motor Wheel. Check another wheel if you can not read the one you checked? Photos can help also.

Another clue could be that if your lower control arms have a spacer underneath the rebound bumper. If so that would indicate 15 inch wheels. If there's no spacer it would indicate 14 inch wheels. Would this be true on a superbird too?

Thanks so much.
I don’t think they have any value, and they are way too old to drive on
Now on to why it won’t start. Starts with priming carb, but stops when fuel is used from priming.
Won’t start unless primed.
I started a new thread over in the general area.
Thanks. sounds like clogged fuel lines and/or bad fuel pump

Dealerships would also do a lot to appease customers.
An original owner of a 70 Cuda 340 contacted me years back looking for a spacesaver spare for his car.
He told me, that when he took delivery he told the dealership salesman he wanted a conventional spare after seeing that 'donut' in the trunk.
They gladly did so.
My hometown dealership changed out a set of 14 inch rallyes off a new 72 Cuda replacing them with 14 inch magnums from a 72 Satellite because the then purchaser of the new Satellite, a former school classmate of mine, liked the rallye wheel look.
So occasionally, changes happened to new cars at dealerships before they even left the lot. This happens more than people think. If you have ever worked at a new car dealership service department you will know this is not at all unusual.

Absolutely, I have the car traced back to 1973. Before that, who knows. Although it was pretty original when I bought it in 2000. The dates on the wheels for this Challenger convertible are really nice and everyone is warm and fuzzy, thats great. But is doesn’t prove what it came with from the factory with. How many years have people been seeking out proper dated parts for these cars? How many cars had custom wheels on day 2?
