Default Re: 1970 Black Challengers

I don't believe the Trans Am cars were supposed to come with Hemi fenders, although some apparently did. I've looked at half a dozen original paint T/As and AARs over the years that didn't have rolled fenders.

I've seen a couple of Hemi Challengers without the rolled fenders, but never a HemiCuda. Chrysler, go figure. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

My old Hemi Challenger originally had the rolled fender lips. When I restored the car and got NOS fenders from Chrysler, one side was available with the rolled lip and one was not. I had the body shop roll the other lip to match.

I seem to recall that the AAR 'Cudas and/or T/A Challengers had a fender tag that read &quot;Trans Am Fender&quot; [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/confused.gif[/img]

Yes Bill, you are correct.... my buddies MR. Norm T/A has the rolled lip fenders.

Pretty sure the T/A fender was a different part # than the Hemi fender. And I think it was rendered moot by the smaller front tire on the production cars.
