Can we all appreciate the fact you married into a gold mine of a car. Man I will be dreaming about that car for a while!

LOL, Thank you!

Does she have any sisters? LOL

Is there any chance the front keystones are hiding there somewhere on the property?

This just blows my mind to see such an awesome car in the shape it is in. I would be talking to Ken and Matt Hensley in Dandridge, Tn. They are great people to work with and know a Chrysler engine.Joe

They may be, but the rears are so rusted etc. I am going to get new keystones for all 4 corners.

The only problem is the new keystones don't look like right. I'd rather have rusty originals.

I would be taking some WD40 and 0000 steel wool to those rear wheels and leaving them. Some narrow Keystones for the front will be a Hell of a score.

Do you know if they are small bolt pattery 5x4 on front or if converted to big pattern 5x4.5?

I think they are 4.5? I haven't pulled them off. I am headed down to Sean's on Sunday and I will have a better answer.

People will be willing to help you find the parts you wish to find. I have found some narrow Slots and Centerlines, have only ever seen 1 pair of narrow Keystones.

Set on Ebay right now but Chevy pattern. rats

I can't tell for sure if it's a Keystone, but there's definitely an extra wheel up there in this photo.

OMG

It's weird....it's like....

That is my garage,

And that is also my trash,

But that car is not.

 

[Mtrhead]

Absolutely love it!!!!

 

[jos51700]

I wouldn't change anything on that car other than mechanical parts like gaskets.

It's only a survivor once.

 

[71GSSDemon]

Just noticed it had Keystones on the front at one time....

 

[4spdragtop]

That thing looks like a cool Hot Wheels with the green, black rims on front and Keystone rears.
