The Corvette aluminum wheels look great on that Heavy Chevy. Auto trivia, they were to be released on the 73 Vette, but were pulled back due to difficulty holding air. They made it into production in 76, after changing manufacturers. Sir, it's so great to have you back! Thank you High Octane Classics for being a true partner and helping make these happen ~ Chuck

I ordered a late 1976 Vette and it came with those wheels - the Firestone Tires were all recalled a few months later and all new tires were installed for free.

I agree. They look surprisingly factory. I still think 15 by 7 wheels with white letter tires look best on 60’s and 70’s cars. I’m not even that old and I hate when people put 20” wheels on older cars

A good friend of mine bought a Heave Chevy new back in 1972. It was blue with the white stripes and badging. I boughta new 72 SS Nova around that same tome and another friend bought a new 72 Camaro all around that same time. It was a great time to be a teenager in high school.

I had one of those back in the '80s. Wish I still had it. Mine was silver, black interior, bench seat, 350 with a column shifted automatic. It did have a custom exhaust, true duals with glasspacks. Not a muscle car, but it sounded like one. I like the 8 track. Mine just had an AM/FM radio, and the original steel rally wheels, which came with center caps, but no trim rings.

Haha so awesome! In 1972 my mother bought my aunt's 1968 Cutlass S convertible with a 350 Rocket. She immediately had it repainted from the stock gold to dark metallic green. Popular color back then I guess. And lastly, she had an 8 track player installed and aside from Barry White and Stevie Wonder, we did have my older brother's 8 track copy of Deep Purple's Machine Head.

But it did have positraction, dual exhaust, Bucket seats, sport steering wheel, blacked out grill, and the steel rally wheels with chrome trim rings. It was the first brand new car I ever bought. I loved that car. Kept it until 1994. I wish I still had it. It was light and fast!

Very rare killer example of the "Tape and Stripe" Musclecar. Pontiac did similar with the Tempest / Lemans GT-37 package - Stripe package, hood pins, Rally Rims, exhaust tips.....But Pontiac let you check the boxes for the GTO engines 400 in 1970, 455 in 1971 - Even could get HO 455 in 71, but only a handful were made. 90% of them were 350 autos - great cars though. Olds had their Cutlass Rallye 350 with bright yellow paint with painted bumper and full rear wing!
