I wish my 55 looked like it used to too. It is a very nice car And when you are done with it I am sure it will look like that again.

At least you still HAVE the car. My '70 SX is long gone, as well as the 2 rare snapshots of it. I can only hope it has new life somewhere after 28 years of MIA. Have fun with your project.

i love the first picture posted... i really remember those slotted mags in the 60's and 70's. AR makes an inexpensive one to consider:



what color is your '71? it looks like mine - #67 Sienna Gold:

yes mine is color #67 sienna poly...mom put those wheels on it right after she bought it..i never have liked them...they were 14x7 anyways and dont clear the disk brakes i put on it. i got weld wheels cheap. when i buy new wheels again im leaning toward the weld rodlite..looks similar to the slots but better in my eyes...nice car!
