I have another ad with a Vette and the same Challenger wheels on it, but I can't find it. I know its here &quot;somewhere&quot;. Must be in a &quot;safe place&quot;.

I bought a 1968 l78 rs ss with 11k orig miles from the original owners wife. Less engine. He last drove the car in 71. Had every piece of paperwork from Don Stevens. At the time, I also found a willow green 66 l79 Nova. Also sitting since 1972. I went to Rudys Nova shop in Orange for parts. I was telling him about my two finds, and he asked me a few questions about the Camaro. He new the owner from Riverside, and had the original l78 block 30 feet from where I was standing. True story.

----Boy!,,,Id hate to have to find a set of those Daytona 500 wheels. I remember that add but Ive never seen a set of those on a car......Bill S

Re: Mickey Thompson Z06 @ Mecum Seattle 2014
 

I don't think I've ever seen a set on a car either Bill. The Challengers show up fairly often, but they're usually rusted.
