I've never seen an A12 with painted rims, I didn't know that option existed so I just learned something new.[/QUOTE]
In 1969 the A12 option was a package that consisted of several HD componants, some of them unique to the A12's such as the fiberglass lift of (NASCAR) style hood, the 15 X 6 steel wheels with G70 X 15 Goodyear red stripe tires, and of course the 440 & 6BBL engine.
other standard procuction items such as the HD, (hemi), suspension, Dana 4:10 sure grip, HD cooling, and hemi 4sp. (Torqueflight was optional.... $39.30), were all part of the A12 package.
In addition there were a couple of manditory options..... Special police handling package...$28.70.... The decor group was manditory on the coupes, (post cars $81.50), & 3 sp wipers, ($5.40).
Just a low percentage of the A12's were special ordered, most were built for sales banks and a lot of the dealers who got them had no idea what they were. As far as the A12 option componants....Including wheels & tires, there was not a lot of deviation from the factory. I suppose that if one was precestant and had cash then the dealer would do some wheel swapping, but I have never heard of that happening.
