Default Re: parts

Sorry! But it's the right thing to do, that is the way the cars came, no torque thrusts and no white lettered tires - especially not the firestones. A case could be made for the Goodyears only because of one of the brochure cars, but that car was a mockup and was not a COPO. The other brochure car is a COPO and has the whitewalls.

It takes some time to grow on you, but the whitewalls look ok. Nobody's crazy about paint overspray, slightly crooked labels, smog systems, strange looking crayon markings, bright splashes of paint on suspensions, and paint runs - but you have to appreciate those items in the sense of being 'correctly restored' as well.

Here's a pic taken very soon after the orig. owner brought the car home from Grossman Chev. He still has the original window sticker!
