Wow! Nice looking car you got there and my favorite color! I'd put a set of Rally Wheels are on it and it would . . . be . . . done! I finally matured a few years ago and realized that not everything needs to run 12s to be fun!

Thanks for the kind words everyone! Yes Bill, you are correct, it should be 200hp, not 210hp, as that was the earier 327 base motor. Pretty simple plans going forward, car is going to need exhaust, so will put the correct transverse dual system on it. Other than that, will do a super clean up on it, making sure to keep originality at the front of the line. I have a wheel &amp; tire weakness, so will be changing between a few different combos. Redlines on 14 x 7 rallies, painted 14 x 7 steelies with dogdish and trim rings, a vintage set of 14 x 7 5 spokes and a set of 14 x 6 drum brake rallies with the optional bolt on center hubcaps. I will also remove the mudguards and the stick on door edge trim. Other than that, just need the good weather to come back and start driving it. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/[/img]

I think they really set the car apart (assuming they are original N95 caps).

Wire wheelcovers make the car in my opinion! My friend's dad bought a new '69 coupe in Cortez Silver, black top, black Houndstooth interior and wire wheelcovers, pinstripe whitewall tires. Classy.

My vote too!!! Not a color combo I would have thought of, but I love it! Great contrast. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

that is a really nice car. Best position for an 8 track I think too. remove the hubcaps before inserting the black sabbath tape in the deck though.
