Funny...you're like the 6th person to ask me that question.I bought them from a vintage Mustang race catalog,can't remember which one right now.
My buddy open-tracks his car,he painted my car and he's where I got the idea for my car.

Now everyone will want them,huh? :_paranoid

Thanks,I just put those wheels on this summer.I'm leaving this one pretty original,no hood pins or headlight covers...yet! I like the fact that I can switch back to the two sets of stock rallys (one with Goodyear PolyGlas,one with Radial T/A's) if I need that stock appearance for a show.

Mary (mpozzi) has these Vintage Wheel Works on her car,except she has the curved spoke V-45's.Mine are the straight-spoke V40's.Sizing is identical to hers though...

Fronts
17x8 (4.5" b/s)
245/45-17

Rears
17x9.5 (5.5" b/s)
285/40-17

Before anyone asks about the lugs,I had those made from SS bar stock,have a set for all three cars.Made by a local machinist buddy of mine.$400/set of 21 (one extra)...or $19.05 each.

Completes the look for me... :thumbsup:

The '70 Z is my original car,purchased in 1980...when I was like everyone else...out looking for a '69 Z.Restored it in 2000,original Norwood Hugger Orange car.The '70 SS454 came next,bought it locally from a guy getting a divorce :unibrow: in 2000,original stock Cranberry Red SS car built in Baltimore.The '69 Z was purchased in 2001 and was originally paint code 59 (Frost Green) and was changed by me when restored in 2004.Complete nut & bolt restoration.Engine built by Golen Engine Service,dynoed at 554hp & 498 lb ft torque.It is also a Norwood car,hence the "X-77" license plates...

Thank you,

Now how about the 70 Chevelle? My favorite Chevy! :thumbsup:

I take it you have garage space for all 3 cars plus the daily drivers right? :unibrow:

I'd be happy with any ONE of those cars, esp the Chevelle. I had a 70 Chevelle LS6 car and like a dummy sold it.

The Chevelle is a very early build,it has the chrome inserts under the headlamps.It is a very solid original car and is an excellent example.How I stumbled upon here right in my own area still baffles me.

I currently have both '70's stored off-property but I am in the planning stages of constructing a 3-car garage complete with a workshop.

3 car garage? Make sure you do your homework. In my youth adult years. I had a home built, attached three car garage. Like a dummy I thought I was on top of the world. I came from homes with no garage, paying storage rent all my life. I had the garage insulated, furnace, areas carpeted. The whole nine yards.

Damn, It was just long enough to fit the GTO. Another problem was the door width. I had only an inch or two on each side. Last the home sat on a 1 1/4 Acre. I had all kinds of lawn equipment that I ended up purchasing. My 3 car
garage quickly became a 1 1/2 car garage. :lol:

P.S. Very nice assortment of vehicles!

I don't think I have any engine pictures of the SS454 on file,it is 100% stock under the hood.

Here's some of the '69:

Car was restored in '00...these were taken last summer when I got the new wheels.
