Thanks Dan. As I mention in the write up the car came with unusual caps as shown in the attachment ( it was ordered with rallys ZJ7). Also in the pic is the original owner Gerald Nelson who I met at the Monmouth County fair in 2000. He was all smiles as he was reunited after 19yrs with HIS car. He also drove the car, which he thoroughly enjoyed.

Wow. That is a killer car with a great backstory. I would have to run the bastard Rally/XT's full time just to tweak everyone who thinks they know it all. Amazing that the line supervisor figured custom fabricated hubcaps and specially painted wheels were a better option than SS rims or simply building it with XT's and dog dishes, and offering a credit. 15" Rallys (ala '68 or '69 Z28) would seem an option as well, but I'll bet there was engineering criteria that limited that substitution.

As if those weren't a strange enough choice for the factory to substitute, the blue deluxe interior is another wonder, since medium blue interior wasn't even a factory recommended interior color for LeMans Blue cars. I would have expected a black interior substitution, since black and ivory were the recommended interior colors, and black interiors are a pretty safe choice to not offend people's style sensibilities.

Thanks for sharing it with us!

Attached is a picture with the original wheels and tires with trim ring and dog dish cap. That is the configuration I plan to display the car with. The modified caps are hideous looking and the car will not fit into my trailer with them on. I only pointed it out because it make for an unusual story. The question remains; who came up with this substitution and why. We may never know, but its fun speculating.
