I liked the seller's use of 'original'... (J/K).. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

&quot;This car is completely original. We even have the original time slips from Atco and Pittsburgh race tracks.&quot;

If that car is 'completely original', then I doubt there's a car in existence that statement couldn't be used with... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] Obviously a VERY nice car, and most of us would love to have it, but 'original'.. certainly doesn't mean 'factory original' in this case as there are many modifications (perhaps all made by Yenko's shop), but that should be clarified in a honest ad.

I DID like the wheels (Are they really magnesium?).. I've never seen a set of those before, but it seems obvious that those wheels were the inspiration for the later 1970-78 steel SS/Z28 wheels produced by GM. Those wheels must be very rare... Does anyone here have a set? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

I searched on ebay and did find a pair of 14x6 Cragar magnesium wheels for a Ford, but nothing in 15x7 for Chevy...
