The '75/'76 has kinda grown on me, but if I try anything I would graft on a '70-'73 front end. I'll probably crate up the powertrain in the not too distant future, cuz I want to drive this thing w/o having to worry about ruining anything...hope to have any little bugs worked out for the Power Tour next summer. I had thought LS swap, but the torque this thing makes is addictive. Not super fast, but a different feel for sure. If a 400 is that much fun, a Butler 462...

Damn nice car! I would leave those wheels on it and just flip the tires around or get some without white lettering.

All I had to work with was low res pics, so the chop sucks, but you get the idea. This would look SICK if it was slammed down IMO.

i think the year one snowflakes would look good.... and who doesnt like TT2's?? they look good on any car! but i think the CCWs would be alittle too wild for that car... the CCW wheels you picked out are really nice and all, but just dont think they would look that good on that older body ta!
BTW, that is one clean looking classic!!!!!

I would ditch those things also!

1) Snowflakes
2) CCW

I love the TTIIs, BUT they are too common IMO

Thanks for the pic 396. Get some better looking tires and the right suspension set-up and that would look ****. A little something from AirRide would help...

I never thought I'd say this, but those rims are nice on that car. Car looks sweet too. The tires are a little too large profile-wise, and it needs to be lowered. Leave those wheels on it will look 5x better just lowered. As for reccomendations cant help you there i never really looked at wheels on that gen.

Looking to repaint my Firehawk Stripes..Thinking of something like this..but not red.

Can someone do them in Silver and then maybe a Dark Dark Grey/Silver?
