That's a crying shame. I've used Reliable several times. They've alway done me right. Not cheap but there's an old saying "The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the cheaper price is forgotten". Ironically I read that on a aftermarket hood panel box. There's another saying in business "Price ,Quality and Service pick two because you can't have all three".

Correct. The 429 was offered in three variations:
429 Thunder Jet - basic 4V 429 Cobra Jet - performance 429 Super Cobra Jet - high performance The 429 was unique in many ways. It offered:

Tire choice might have something to do with budget constraints, see comments above re
choice of hauler. IMHO never trust anybody who says "don't worry, we'll take care of everything"....
