On the hunt for a pair of vintage 15" x 4" Cragar S/S front runners, ideally prefer period-correct direct drill for Chevy 5@ 4.75" pcd, not too concerned if chrome isn't great, as long as they are straight and true. Needed for my '69 Camaro "Fiasco" to put back to how it was in 1971, photo below (thanks to Petersen/TEN/SEMA archive).
PM me please with what you've got and what you want to get for 'em; if unwilling to ship outside the 48, hopefully we can work something out with a few buds who have a US address and could receive and forward.....

If I had known this yesterday I could have picked up a nice set at the Louisville swap meet for $750 with a nice set of tires on them.

No worries Freddie, and thanks - good to know they're still popping up here and there..... although mostly there, can't seem to find any here!

I've been on the lookout here for a while with no luck.

Damien is that your 'wanted' ad on Gumtree? When I saw it and knew someone else was trying to find a pair locally here in Aus, I decided to go direct to the source (USA) to locate 'em and avoid stepping on like-minded toes.

That Fiasco Camaro looks like a terrific project... cool name too! Can't tell the car's colors from the photo, but I sure look forward to seeing more of how your project comes together.

It is Tim and cheers.
I have the same ad out in a few spots but don't hold out too much hope although there have been plenty of sets out and about over the years, so you never know!
I have the luxury of time on my side so we will see if anything turns up.

Thanks Helmut! Car was originally Cortez Silver, black stripes, dark blue interior. I'm going to do some careful scraping to see if I can determine what colour the added side panels were in that picture, but I suspect they were black to match the stripes. Looking to return to original colours and then add the side graphics, decals etc with vinyl wrap - an excellent suggestion from Warren (member 'WorkinProgress')!

ZLP955 - there is a set of 15 x 4's for sale on Facebook - Pricey, but very nice. New Albany (Columbus), Ohio. I would attach a link if I knew how.

Here's the link to the Cragar Aficionado Page on Facebook. Set is priced at $1000 which seems to be the going rate these days. Less for a set of rusty ones and also higher yet for a mint set. These ones are dated 1969 too. Good Luck. https://www.facebook.com/groups/CragarSS/

Managed to locate a pair in direct fit Chevy bolt pattern. Thanks to everyone who replied, and an extra-special thank you to Warren, who liaised with the seller and went on a road trip to pick them up - very much appreciated!
