Re: '69 Firebird steel wheel color
Why black Don ? Shouldn't it be body color on a dog dish cap ?

Re: '69 Firebird steel wheel color
Pontiac hardly ever had painted wheels like chevys! Besides it was only offered on certain colors and carousel red cars had Black wheels.

Re: '69 Firebird steel wheel color
My old '69 Firebird was a 1-owner car that was light green with 14"x7" IF code wheels that were BLACK in color and fitted with dog dishes. One other interesting thing about that car was that it was a standard 350 motor with a factory Turbo 400 transmission. That didn't seem right to me, but the car was untouched so I did some research. In '69, if you ordered A/C in your 350 Firebird, they upgraded you to a Turbo 400.
(UPDATED) Well, from how I read the paint chart just posted, my Limelight Green (59) Firebird perhaps should have had Limelight Green wheels? Its certainly possible that somebody rattle canned them for the lady, but I didn't recall any evidence that they were ever green. I put Rally II's on it since I didn't think the dog dishes complemented a 350/auto/factory A/C/dark green deluxe interior car very well.

Re: '69 Firebird steel wheel color
I have a IF wheel I would like to "trade only" for a early XT? It is marked = K18 11 29 IF still may be original black paint even.
Also have 3 CL wheels to trade "only" I really don't want to sell them. Sorry Pantera

Re: '69 Firebird steel wheel color
As I commented on the other site. My T-37 was Silver ('71) and had dark green metalic wheels.
 But it was a Freemont car and who know what they were smoking then in CA.   It also had the wrong cam and lacked cid call out on front fenders. Oh well, made it even a better sleeper. Only the driver is awake.
