Need Cuda pics with magnum 500 wheels
« on: July 02, 2008 - 06:33:17 PM »
OK, here's the deal. I just found out that my 70 440-6 Cuda came from the factory with magnum 500 wheels, I remember checking the codes many years ago and "thought" it came with Rallye's. It also had correct date coded Rallye wheels with it when I bought the car back in the mid 80's. Not to mention I bought it from the second owner and he remembered seeing the car since almost new and it always had Rallye wheels. Since I plan to add the vinyl top and luggage rack that originally came on it, should I go ahead and stick some magnums on it also? Thing is, I have always liked dog-dish and rallye wheels better than magnums on an E-body (I like them on everything except E-bodies). Anyway, I have sets of steel wheels with dog-dish hubcaps, 15" rallye's and NOS period correct Motor-Wheel flys for the occasional jaunt down the dragstrip. Do I really need another set of wheels? Oh well, wheels are like sex, you can't ever have enough  ;). So post up some Cuda's with magnums and maybe I will grow to like them too, just like the vinyl top and luggage rack... :dunno: :cheers:

The Magnum wheels definitely look good on an orange car.  The black paint between the spokes really works well with the orange.  I like the rallyes on darker cars, like purple, but the magnums really pop on an orange car.  Here's a pic that shows what I mean.  Look at how the wheels on my Cuda stand out.  Now look at the Superbird in the background.  It's wheels don't have any zing.

Jeff, by gosh, you're right. I think I will put the 15" Rallye's on the '71 (and store the 14" factory '71 Rallye wheels). Then most definately find some Magnum's for the 6-pack car. I'm getting kind of excited just thinking about the way it looked the day it was built. Vitamin-C, shaker hood, console auto, black interior, black vinyl top, stripe delete, radio delete, luggage rack and magnum wheels. Pretty dang cool if you ask me! I am sooo glad this LA built car had a broadcast sheet! Now my only decision is whether to put the elastomeric bumpers on it that I took off another Cuda some 15 years ago or go with the factory correct chrome ones? I'm stoked about the change in wheels, thanks.... :thumbsup:

It is not a Challenger but it is an E body.
