I believe Herb put them back on his Corvette. Lloyd told me the car was sold with factory steel wheels.

Since this post has been helpful for others, regarding understanding Fred Gibb Chevrolet's initial racing efforts, I thought it would be important to post additional documents I received from Helen Gibb regarding Little Hoss. These are historical Fred Gibb Chevrolet records as well as a letter from Bill Porterfield written to me when we first became acquainted. And finally, the NCRS documentation showing the date of production and ordering dealer, Fred Gibb Chevrolet I obtained to complete my own file on the car.

It was tough decision to part with Little Hoss, as we had such fun times meeting so many neat and incredible individuals at the many events attended, however, raising a family of 4 children and managing a career took priority over my hobby interests. I can't thank Dana Mecum enough for his interest in helping us when this decision was finally made between myself and my wife, as this was a mutual partnership decision. He personally visited us and was excited to help us find a new steward for this important piece of Chevrolet and Camaro drag racing history.
