Other stuff from a previous owner, Wade Kahn:
THE CAR ORIGINALLY CAME WITH THE RECALLED ROAD WHEELS [Note from Julie: according to ‘Barracuda and Challenger’ by Paul Zazarine this was ‘Chrysler’s first attempt at a lightweight aluminum road wheel…Engineering tests indicated that the lug nuts would loosen during operation. Torquing them down resulted in cracking the aluminum-alloy center. Chrysler was determined to get the wheels off all cars to prevent any accidents…’ So those recalled wheel are RARE!]
