Everyone around here runs polished Torque Thrust or GM rally wheels. I caught a hard time from all the locals when I was building the car. They changed their mind when I brought it out. Amazing how many I see now with black steel wheels.

Only a handful of people have picked up on that. Car Craft called the story &quot;Round Track Rebellion&quot;.

Here's my '69 300 Deluxe SS396 that I recently purchased (Dec. 2). Though not a supercar it is a #'s matching(born with) 396/325, turbo 400, 3.31 1 legger 12 bolt. 106,000 original miles. The car was owned by the same gentleman from 1971 until mid 2011 when it was sold to someone that used it on a partial trade for a real estate deal to the guy that I bought it from(if that makes any sense). The car was originally Burnished Brown with a Champagne painted roof. The car was red when I got it.... so I added the black vinyl top..... I also added the steering wheel... as the original was falling apart.... I also added the wheels and tires... the original SS wheels are in the garage.

Re: Need Member Rides for spotlight
 

Here is a quick background on my car. To compete with the Macho TAs in the 70's that were terrorizing the streets, DKM partnered with Chapman Chevrolet to produce the Macho Z, the Chevy half of the F-body dynamic duo from DKM. In preparation for the 1979 model year, a single 1978 Z-28 Camaro Prototype was converted to a Macho Z.

The Macho Z pictured here is the original 1978 prototype built by DKM for Chapman Chevrolet that was featured in Hot Rod Magazine in 1978 and road tested by industry legend Dave Wallace. It was the only 1978 Macho Z-28 built and has survived after all these years with it's original drive train, koni shocks, dual cat exhaust, Hurst-T shifter and chrome roll bar.

This One of One prototype Z28 is accompanied with a letter of authenticity from Dennis Mecham, GM records, all invoices, build sheet, Hot Rod Magazine License Plate, owner’s manual packet and of course a September 1978 issue of Hot Rod Magazine, and other magazine features including the -Throwback- story in Muscle Car Review-July 2014.

You can check out more info on DKM, the Camaro Macho Z28 prototype, and &quot;Bruise&quot;, my one of one Macho Trans Am here: http://machoz28prototype.wix.com/dkm-cars

Here are a few pics of the Z:
