Are those pie crust slicks from Towel City ?

The springs are small block by Eaton...yes they are Towel City, I sure like em....fronts are Firestone Wide Oval radial....so all 4 tires are radial with the "Bias ply" look.

I bought a pair of those slicks too and 1 was so far out of balance I returned it. The replacement was better, but still took a lot of weight. They seem OK on the road now.

I have pair of those!!

I love the 60's vibe going on here, the station wagon rear bumper and no front bumper really brings it!! I had a buddy with a twin to this, built 301, Muncie and a one piece fiberglass tilt front. - Bill W

Right On! The 60's/70's vibe is exactly what I'm into with this ride...I'm doing the best I can with limited funds, hell, you only live once!

Glad I bought my 383 when I did, the engine went from $5,699 to $6099, $400 increase.

I just thought I recognized it from a tri5 website..

Is the original color Glacier Blue with white top? As this car looks like it was a twin to mine, even down to the gas door chrome
