I noticed the other day that the wheel weight on my original spare was marked with "OEM". Does that mean it's original or is that an old brand name? 🤔

Just an update. I am now the current caretaker of the GTO. Here is an updated picture. I just reinstalled the Torque Thrusts with a set of Wide Oval radials.

I wish I would have known this car was available. Seemed like a really innocent and pure car. Congrats on the purchase!

Thanks. The car is irreplaceable.

Grant wanted the car to stay here in California. Too many California cars have left the state. Its getting hard to find a nice untouched California car here in California. Most of the stuff around here has been modded or restored.... or is a ragged out POS.

Updated pic of the GTO. Reinstalled the original wheels with radial redlines. Drives a lot nicer now. I have put about 400 miles on the car since purchasing. You cannot restore low mileage into a car. I took it to a car show q while back and people had a hard time believing that it has not been restored.

BTW - The last picture I posted. The driveway into my shop at that time was still was dirt... now its concrete..
