Road Wheels...

[1978 NYB]

There was a guy at Carlisle with a set of 4 road wheels for sale for $250 near the red building. Not the best set, trim rings were a little dinged up and I may have to find a center cap for one of them. He didn't sell them at Carlisle but I'll be able to get them for $225 later this week. Did anyone take a look at them while at Carlisle? Comments anyone?

All the ones I saw were either reworked to look better but not really or not worth it. I certainly could have missed this set.


The red building ? Be more specific..... Between the stands and the A12 display building?

Yep, the guy had a beige formal newport

I seem to remember that being a rusty Fussy but either way .......... 225 is probably a fair price. Did they have the correct trim rings?

I believe so. I'll compare them to the ones on my NYB...and measure the 4 1/2" on 5 to make sure they aren't Chevy wheels. The Chevy wheels are 5" on 5.

No, they were Mopar wheels, I'd swear to it

I know a guy who lives in Carlisle that has a couple extra center domes.......

You know Will.... The guy that had those for sale is in the hospital. Good thing you pushed Mark.... But he ran out of excuses.

I hope Bill is OK. I have known him for more than 15 years.... A stand up good Mopar c body guy.

Sorry to hear that. Is the fella going to be OK?

 

[polara71]

Don't know..... Last I heard he was still there Sunday

 

[1978 NYB]

Did he become ill at Carlisle?

 

[polara71]

Yes....feeling bad when we saw him on Friday, late afternoon. His temp was at 105 last I heard, that report came Sunday around 10.

I hope it's something he can recover from pretty easy.

I thought I heard the event announcer say something about make room for the ambulance....was that for him?

 

[polara71]

Oh, I don't know........didn't hear that or about it.

Anyone that has spent time on the Drydock knows Bill, FURYGT

I did not know that Dave. He said he wasen't feeling well, and didn't look good. At least he got to enjoy Carlisle before going to the hospital.
I hope he recovers alright.

 

[commando1]

FuryGT?? Damn.

 

[polara71]

I found out Saturday.... Then got an update on Sunday........

I hope so too Will.....
