ps... any ideas on rim & tire size front & rear?

<span style="font-size: 14pt">Sharp. Not sure about the idea of radials out back and bias plies up front. Car looks stout. No sale at $53,000. Not sure what the owner was looking for, but IMO that is STRONG money.</span>

Definitely agree on the overall 'look.'

[Hemicolt]

Yeah.. switch the rear tires and the shift knob. But other than that, it's great.
I could argue the 53000.00 either way. Good money for todays market, but could a person buy a roller, needing a resto. and pay to build it for that kind of money?

Suppose those rears are 295 or 275?

Either way, looks like all the tire you could get under there without mods.

Great looking '66, I agree..... Go with either all Bias Ply or all Radials.

15x4.5 front and 15x8 standard offset on the rear for sure. Not sure on tires

Cool looking car...

That carb spring looks like it makes for a stiff gas pedal <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif

Stance on the thing makes me weak. I love the look.
