Thanx!! I bought this sight unseen from a guy in Alberta about 6 years ago. Had a friend here at work redo the car over a 2 year period.Luv it!! One of the nicest Ive owned. It has a 350 out of an 86 Z28 with a 700R tranny. I had the original rims and caps on until last friday-Ive had the welds for a year now but I still like the look of the hub caps. I get alot of looks and comments as its pretty rare and extremely clean.

Nice looking car. I just changed my car from aftermarket wheels to original hubcaps like the look of the car with the aftermarket wheels. The hubcaps are starting to grow on me, maybe in time I will like the "new" look.

Thanks for sharing the pictures.

I was torn between leaving the hubcaps and going to the welds. It really looks great with the hubcaps-has the "sleeper" look. The welds I bought are an older style -guy had them on a 56 Chev-odd size 14x7 front and 15x8 rears.Worked out good. I have 235/60/15 on the rear and 205/70/14 on the front so the car still sits nice and strait.

Im going to try this style for a bit-but I do like the original look-it does grow on you!!By the way nice car u have.

Yeah it works out perfect-sits nice and level-smaller tire up front makes turning alot nicer-used to turn like a bus!! I had 2 tire guys here tell me there is no way I can run 2 different sizes-didnt have a good answer why-I just figured they didnt have a clue. My mechanice has a 64 El Camino and runs the same combo.

Hi it does look awesome -adds a bit of flash and really picks up the paint and body chrome. I agree the 15's would be better-but there isnt much room for a bigger rear tire and I dont want to shave the rear inside fenders just to get another inch or so. Plus i got a screaming deal on the rims-$250.00 for all 4 as the guy went back to the moon style for his 56 chev.

Thanx! Ive always had Chevy 11's,Chevelles and Novas-Luv the body style so when I saw this for sale I just had to get into it again. It really is a nice ride.

Yep its sweet!! Wouldnt sell it for anything-way too much fun.Funny my husband was all upset that I wanted a car-I told him its like an early midlife crisis and way cheaper than a lawyer.

Well the lawyer wasnt cheap and Im still waiting for my midilfe crisis-got my car .my truck and my dog-hope hes enjoying his golf game now!!L0L!

Nice rag top by the way-rare!
