I got an email from a very observant member who noticed that the wheel offset appears to be different now. Very good eye! Here's the reason: When I found the car it had a narrower Dana rear end with a Direct Connection inboard leaf spring relocation kit. (Another racing modification by the guy that did the "beer drinkin engine assembly." So the wheels sat a little more inboard than now with the correct width rear.
They are definitely my old Cragars. I pulled one of the caps off and it had the same broken edges under the center cap - the very reason I gave them away in the first place back then, and the same gouges in the inner sidewalls where the tire hit the wheelhouses due to...you guessed it, the narrowed rear and the inboard spring mounting kit!
Just another bizarre chapter!
