It is not presently for sale...

Honestly the side pipes on the car are not that good as far as condition goes, however there were 2 more sets with the car, one is reported as stainless, did they make a stainless sidepipe set up aftermarket?

I don't know about stainless, but I love sidepipes on midyear Corvettes, both factory side pipes and aftermarket.

Correct Corvette '65 &amp; '66 wheels that are welded are about $200 each.

Are the wheels letter coded or ?

Correct 65/6 wheels are dated but cannot be seen when a tire is mounted. There should be two small bumps by the valve stem and I believe a GM stamping by the lug nuts.

I have a set of original '65/'66 wheels, Coker radial goldlines and NOS hub caps I'd consider selling. They're restored and ready to go on any car!

Let me know -

Dan

Are they dated like Kelsey Hayes dated the later wheels?
ex- the year stamp is year model the wheel was manufactured for and not the year the wheel was actually produced?

Just making sure I am correct...

By the way picked up a hard bound Best of Vette Vues Magazine Volume 1-9 Dec 1975 - for $1.00 the other day... It is a treasure trove of info and some articles on superrare vettes!

The wheels are dated on the month/year they were made. Example, there was a large run of 8/64 and 12/64 wheels for 65 Vettes.

James, when I get home tonight I will post photos of a wheel date for you. They're on the personal computer.

Steve is correct - different than the later passenger car wheels where the date is located by the valve stem in K-1-x-x-x fashion. This date is on the inside of the wheel beed. You cannot physically see the date with the tire installed.

Buddy - look closely, it appears this car already has the Hurst Day-2 shifter installed.

Thanks,
Dan
