I just sold the crashed grille off of it at the last swap meet, still sorry about that. You had a long run, hope it goes to a good home. Thanks Big Jim. Actually, it was Mary's grill you kacked, but whos counting. The replacement grill you sent her is looking good!

john, i never really noticed until this last pic you posted, but what are the front wheels ? they look very similar to the ones my buddy has on his 64 galaxy 500. they started as 8" wide, but we narrowed them to 6" by re-hooping them. just curious. TIA. Those look like Appliance "wire mags"

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.

TIA. Those look like Appliance "wire mags" 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.
