Rat Boy like Keystones, Rat Boy said "not too fussy about the Wheels on this car" on second thought Rat Boy says not to fussy on wheel and tire combo on this car. Maybe something more stock like in the sales brochure, then the car is ready to go to church with the 3 old spinsters.

Rat Boy is King of the low ball, considering it is a non desirable 4 door, the paint job and keystones probably cost more than any number Rat Boy would throw out.
Ray, I definitely hear ya. I know I would take a nice 2-door over a 4-door just like everybody else. Just sayin'...
That Cadillac of yours sounds like a great car. There was a while there in the 1980s when Cadillac (and GM for that matter) seemed to lose their direction and raison d'etre, except for a few cars.
I really like the more door that was picked up by 68 327 4spd. It is such a nice, clean, unmolested example that I can't help but love it.

Rat Boy likes this car very much but was right to not give his opinion. You could tell by the paint job, expensive wheels and perfect bumpers this car was restored at a cost that far exceeds its resale value. Rat Boy also likes to remind everyone that rare does not mean valuable.
I like it! The chrome window frames are an unusual option. I don't disparage a car just because it has 4 doors. Heck, look at all the 4-door BMWs! I don't think the Keystones do anything for that car however, especially with the whitewalls. If not the stock look, perhaps a decent attitude with a set of 17s. Check out the 67 4-door attached below.
I have a complete set of Keystones in my garage but I don't think I like the look on my Chevelle hardtop either. Maybe on a light blue 67 Chevelle 300 convertible with real vintage Edelbrock speed equipment for a day 2 theme.
Cam, I think you will have to admit that being a four door car really affects the value in this case. Heck I drive a 4 dr. every day that can dip into the 14's and hit 100 in under seven seconds. There are plenty of awesome 4dr. cars but I venture that when compared to a similar classic two door they sell for less.
We have plenty of nice example of 4 doors on here that's for sure. I always wondered to my self if I was at this stage of my life in 1969 what I would have driven. I never expected to be driving a high end Cadillac if I thought about it in 1969 as a 12 year old but knowing my lot in life now I think I would have liked a 427 big block Pontiac, something like this.......
