It's a really nice car. Despite the missing hubcap in the picture, this thing is probably on par with BP's Caddy in terms of overall niceness and originality. (the hub cap in question doesn't stay on well, so it was in the car) The odometer says 40-something thousand, and I believe it. Well documented, (including original bill of sale from the dealer), solid as a rock. The only downside, and I mean the only downside, is the color.

I like the color as it's unique. You could paint it blue and be like everybody else (sorry dave your's was blue), or you could keep it like you see it and stand out. I like the color combo on the car. A good set of wheels, and a good sounding dual exhaust, and the car is ready to cruise. I think aftermarket aluminums would be sweet for a little bling and show, but that's my opinion. Chevy rallys with some white letters would look nice too.

Nice new wheels & tires. Too bad we couldn't get "Pocono 500" tires!
The fronts are 15x7s purchased at Carlisle, and the rears are 15x8s that I got from a guy on craigslist when I happened to be buying some other parts from him. The wheels were taken to Newbury Sandblasting, where they were blasted, primed, and painted. A set of new trim rings from Summit, and some ok-condition center caps from my basement that I've had for close to 20 years.
Tires were supplied by Mostmint. 255-60-15 in rear, and 235-60-15 in front (I think) -- which are the same size tires as on The Tiresmoker.
Also note the vintage license plate.
