How's it going Steve. Just don't tell these guys you like Mustangs! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Jeff H- Hmm. Would it help if I mentioned I've owned a 67 RS Conv, 68 Camaro, 67 L79 Malibu, 72 Chevelle wagon race car tow vehicle with a big block/TH400 and plans for another Camaro in the near future?

Nice stab Jeff, cant say I wouldnt have done the same myself. All BS aside though, I have been a Chevy performance fanatic all my life and have owned and still do own some nice examples. You cant tell me that if came across a Shelby Team TA Mustang you wouldnt at least give it some respect?

Steve, welcome to the site, I notice you did not go in to any detail about that super rare Camaro, I guess all in good time, eh?

Re: Trans Am Racers
 

I'd be the first one to jump on a nice Shelby or Boss 302 Mustang(if I had any money). Those fastbacks make some sweet looking race cars. Without the competition, the Camaro might have been downright boring. Ford had just as many trick parts as GM so it made for some great racing.

By the way, any of you guys want a set of Mini-Lite wheels you may want to contact our new member Steve, aka FIAracer, it seems he is the National Distributor? for Mini Lites, something like that, sorry steve if I got the title wrong. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

Re: Trans Am Racers
 

Hmm,
I was contemplating a set for the Stinger??

Re: Trans Am Racers
 

Jim Cowles put an early set of mini-lites on my 66 Shelby when he restored it, when did these begin production? I believe mine are from around 1970.

Re: Trans Am Racers
 

Minilite wheels started production in 1962. Magnesium only at first and cast aluminum in about 1974 with their Sport wheel. Now we offer the look of the vintage magnesium wheel but in aluminum. Our 15"x 8" Trans-Am wheel being the most recent addition.

Re: Trans Am Racers
 

Steve, I need a set for the Shelby 350 Notchback TA Mustang, I have a set of Magnesium, which are fine for showing the car, but with the age and who knows what type of stress they have had I would not feel comfortable out on the track with the originals considering the value of my car and everyone else's car around me. Do you have them in stock? I need to get with you about this soon as the season is just around the corner. I will give you a call sometime next week, I am also working on the other project, I think I may have a lead.
Thanks,
