Magnum 500 Wheels
I have a question on 1969 Mustang wheels. In MCA Concours classes, do the judges accept Magnum 500 wheels as a dealer option? They look great and seem to be very popular today. If Magnum 500 wheels are not considered Concours correct, how big of a deduction are they?

Magnum 500 wheels were not an option in 1969 or 1970 on the Mach 1 Mustang. Therefore, they are not Concours correct in any MCA Concours Classes. All 1969-1970 Mach 1 Mustangs had 14-inch tires and wheels. The only Magnum 500 wheels offered in 1969-1970 were 15x7 Boss Magnums. If you use 15x7 Magnums, you would also have the incorrect tire size, which is another deduction. My advice is to use correct Mach1 tires and wheels for MCA events. I admit Magnum 500s look great on all 1969-1970 Mustangs, but they are not Concours correct on the Mach 1.
