It's HEMI time !!! Compliments of NJSteve

OK, now here's an absolutely un-freakin-believable story:

You know how I posted above, how I am looking for some rear rims to replace the ones from my Charger that I gave away 21 years ago?

Well, I just found <u>MY OLD RIMS AND TIRES</u> on ebay and bought them! They were 40 miles from my house in Jersey! They are the rims with the same Parnelli Jones L60x15 Firestones on them. I paid $78 for the pair and they are now back home and ready to be cleaned up. The guy said he picked them up from a friend of his in town, about 15 years ago and that guy had them for a few years before that.

I guess I have yet another bizarro story to add to the archive now.

You lucky dog! Those tires are rare and still look pretty nice. A good find, especially when they are your old ones.

Man, that is incredible! Did you tell the seller that they had once been on your Charger?

Amazing Steve. Here's The Auction.

Yup. I even brought him the photos to prove it. He was pretty amazed. He had them on his old Mustang for about 10 years.

I only stumbled across the auction right before it ended, a few hours before the Superbowl started. I was home because I decided not to go to a Superbowl Party for some unknown reason and was on the internet looking for old Cragars.

So now do you all believe the car is truly possessed? It is trying to revert back to it's original 1970 state. You know how the engine I have in it now is 21 VIN numbers higher than the car's VIN. Well, I'm afraid to crawl underneath and look but my guess would be that number span has probably just decreased by a few digits. It's probably only 15 digits higher now.

I met my wife that way. No, not on eBay--I went to a party I almost didn't go to.

Unreal!!
I vote to set up another subforum called "njsteve"
Between the indepth restoration pictures, the magic rust remover thread, the hemi/snowstorm thread, with vintage pics, the sun link, with sound, and now this incredible ebay stroke of luck.....
like I said, unreal.

If I was the seller of those rims and tires and you came to my house to pick them up I would have said, keep your 78 bucks....just jot down some lotto numbers for me to play this week!
