This came up in the a66 Challenger vert listed for sale here posted on Craiglist.
Some Interesting questions on the spare tire bracket;
The A66 vert in the ad has a SPD of October 28th with the "different" trunk spare bracket (from mine)
My A66 vert was an SPD of October 6th.
Did early convertible cars use the hardtop bracket early on?
Did they change to the newer style bracket in late October?
I would think the convertible bracket would have to be a little further in to the trunk like mine in order to avoid the roof going down into the well?
Or, were convertibles that were factory equipped with the collapse spare use the bracket that is in my trunk? (I suggest this because the 15" wheels and the collapse spare were no longer standard on the A66 cars in late October)
Or was a different bracket used contingent upon the size of the tire and spare size of the car?
Why would I have a different bracket in an early a66 collapse spare convertible?
It looks like the z shaped bracket was in most cars!

This seems to be the bracket in most Challengers in both verts and hardtops
This is what my bracket looks like in my early A66 vert
