Good luck on the sale..... I know how it is trying to sell an "undesirable". Gave the Mirada away. It wasn't as finely detailed as your ride, but it was a 9 sec turn key car.

My thoughts too. Appliance Wire Mags if you go old school enough. They would be period-correct for that car.

Thanks! Dogdays, I found those wheels in the trunk of a 71 Dodge Charger ( junk car ). The fronts ( 15X7) were unilug, while the rears (15X8.5) were counter sunk lug style - 5 on 4.5. Kinda strange.

Looks like a picture from Byron.

I met you and Mary there several years ago.

Change is fun. Hope you have many new adventures.

yep, john confirmed they most likely were appliance wheels. the ones we narrowed were et's, but they had the same center design. according to what i was able to find out, the et version was made from around 1972 through the very late 70's. i can't say the dates of the appliance versions, but would guess they would be similar. they really looked good on ol "moby", but weren't a popular wheel around these parts when they were new.
