<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: olredalert</div><div class="ubbcode-body">-----WOW!!! Tim,,,If I had that set of wheels Id start to look for the right mid-year Corvette to put them on. A 65 thu 67 competition oriented Corvette is out there somewhere just yelling for those. Nice set of correct size Blue Streaks would complete things, too.
-----My choice,,,66 427/425 silver/black coupe. No radio, J-56, etc. No foo-foo options. Big tank optional!!!......Bill S </div></div>
Silver Pearl over Black is great for the racer, however gimme Silver Pearl over Red leather for the driver... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Thank you for the offer, but they're not for sale. They were Paul Dehnert's and when we helped move all his cars and bikes for the May Mecum auction his wife graciously gave all of his friends many of his parts and supplies. The guys knew I always loved these wheels and I now own something that was from a good friend. I'll keep them as long as I can.

Didn't you have one like that (or close) in Hinsdale? I remember a body lift party at your house one evening around 1984...........

Maybe I am thinking of another car.

Actually, Vicki asked me to deliver them to Charley. She knew I'd take good care of them until I could get them to him. I'll drop them off next time I head that way........

Why anyone would want to use a set of dangerously skinny, crack-prone, flammable metal wheels on a street car is beyond me! I'm gonna replace mine with a nice set of Rallys soon.
