That's a beautiful example, so rare to see them with the original E60 Polyglas tires. Usually long replaced by the F60s.

Pet peeve: if you bought the car it isn't an "original owner car". You're the second owner. It is no longer a one-owner car. I wish people would stop saying that, it's mis-leading. Don't care if it is still "in his name", money changed hands, bill of sale was signed. Car is now the second owners' vehicle.

Agree on both above. So so hard to find those tires now. And I too thought it was stupid to call this a one owner car, it's not.

So - sidebar:

What do you call a car that the son of the original owner (now deceased) has?

"Original family owned"? Original owner's son owned"?

All of the verbiage is a bit clunky.

So this means that the 440-6 cars got E60's and the Hemi cars got F60's? Wasn't aware of that.

I sold an NOS pair of Goodyear E60 15's to a Guy at Jefferson swap meet about 5 years ago and he told me the only E Body's that had had them from the factory were the front only of the TA, AAR and HEMI Cars. If I remember correctly I got $1500.00 for the pair. FWIW

good info above, I just assumed F60 would be fine on the 340 70 cuda convert I am restoring (original 15" wheel car) but now I need to look at the window sticker info as I bet it will say E60. crap.

HEMI cars did not receive E60s, only F60s. Your 340 car would have received E60s, however I have seen 340 & 383 cars that were optionally equipped with 15-inch wheels get rolled fenders, even though not a Hemi car. Have a look at yours.

I believe they were rolled. Need to double check but 90% sure.

I checked the window sticker on the 70 340 convert and it just said wide oval and was part of a $68 group with all kinds of other items (hood pins, etc).

BUT I have a neat consumer information paper that folds to a large size that has the VIN on it and it ONLY shows E 60 -15 tire for the stopping distance.

Fun to see on this consumer information print out that a 70 340 cuda can be 100 ft behind a 55 ft long truck (both doing 50mph) and pass it to a point it's 100 ft in front of it in 10.7 seconds. So I guess I do have a 10 second car!!!
