Well said Bill, I fully agree! I like seeing stock wheel covers, they can set a car apart from the crowd.

----Lee,,,I see ps, console, guages, and AM radio. Not even tinted glass. The body appears to have never been off the frame, and there is certainly nothing wrong with that. Just a nice 65 GTO with few bells and whistles and a great color combo. I like it!....Bill S
