MY wife's step dad has those same wheels on his  perfect 66 Corvette. He claims the car is worth $100K and now I know why.

Butt ugly wheels. That guy's smoking rope by asking THAT price. Guess there's a sucker born every minute.

We did a top on a very nice '65 Corvette last year that had a set of original American Racing magnesium Torq Thrusts on it... those were sexy.

My dad restored a 67 1 owner Vette a few years ago and he put those option wheels on it and only paid about $1000.00 for them 14 years ago. The Vette lived in the Peterson Museum for about 6 months, he eventually sold it to a collector in .................................Germany ($65,000.00) along with a 76' Vette and a 68' Camaro ($25,000.00 for both) The wheels are pretty cool, but NOT that cool

Not my choice on a modified car, but for an original 60's look it works...

Yep, me too.
A black '67 big block Stingray with side pipes and those wheels work real well... no doubt a four speed too  Grin
