Default Re: Correct XT Wheel color for Fathom Blue

Beautiful Car Wilma!!! Is that the Marine Corp.s car with XTs ? I have always admired your cars and glad I could get yours and Sullys input also. I would like to see a pic of Sullys car also if possible as I have never seen it. My car is a Fullerton/Anaheim CA. L78 with the Dual Snorkel Air Cleaner and Zero chrome down sides or doors and drip rails. M21 and 3:55s. I have owned 2, 69s and 3, 70s and a 72. Now I'm down to 2, 70s. I'm trying doing a concourse resto on the L78 and appreciate all the info I get from this knowledgable site. I still need to re:up my NNN membership. Thanks again Kim

Thanks for the kind words...Sully's car is getting close to the finish line and should see some day light in 07. Please rejoin NNN..it is a great group of folks!! We have a mini-nats show in orlando the first weekend in March...you are close to that, so why not bring your ride and come down. They ahave the show in old town, kissimmee. good luck with the resto.

Any knowledge here as to why the 70 Nova SS and Yenko Duece used the XT 14x7 (ala 1969) and the 70 Camaro used the cosmetically different CL 14x7 or was it most likely just one of those unexplainable Kelsey Hayes decisions ?????
And w/o me opening the Colvin book right now......Nova's did go to CL's in 1971..........

and I forgot to write the late Jan/70 production intro of the Camaro, probably weighed on the code/design change ?????
