Got a set of 65 14 inch Formula S hubcaps with correct lug nuts on my 65 Valiant convertible and thinking of swapping to Rallyes. So what are the hubcaps AND lug nuts worth should I decide to swap?

hey are these avaiable and the same as used on the Barracuda Formula s??? If so I could use them I have maybe 2 good ones but would take the set
The set that I have on my Valiant are for the 14 inch wheels as found on the Formula S (hard to find). There was also the same style hubcap and used the same long lug nuts but were for the 13 inch wheel (hubcaps much easier to find). I have over time accumulated maybe 10 of the Formula S caps - the 4 that are on the Valiant and 4 plus spares for the 65 Barracuda (all are in great shape with little to no curb rash). I have not made a decision on whether to sell them or not - general member consensus was to hold on to them as they are hard to find. I offered my oldest son the Barracuda as his inheritance and he wants the Formula S hubcaps since they have the Valiant emblem in the center cap. My youngest son wants the Valiant but prefers Rallye wheels instead of the hubcaps. If I decide to sell a set of 4, rest assured they'll be offered here on FABO before going to epay.
My dad was lucky enough to score a NOS set of 4 for $200 :cheers: The set he has on his 66 Cuda now were almost NOS (NOS take-offs), got them in 1987 real cheap, along with the mint wide rims and lugs.
He also got an almost NOS exhaust system from the y-pipe to the chrome resonator, all he had to do was trade his old dual exhaust fot it!! Got this from the same guy as the rims and caps.
I would think if your caps have no curb rash and the centers and paint are nice, $300 -$400 easy.
I've converted my very nice '65 GT 273 commando to the front rotor dbl. master 8-3/4 rear end so of course the rotor system that I got off of e-bay last fall (from a '65 cuda) required I go to 14" SBP wheels which I found in great shape, had them sand blasted and powder coated (little overkill) but not expecting to find the correct 14" hubcaps exact '65 GT style easily, was happy to find locally on Craig'slist that week 6-14" hubcaps from the '68 Coronet. They are all perfect with the Dodge logo painted center and they only cost me $50. bucks. I've still got the full body paint resto money-pit to do so I haven't even put them on yet to see how I fell they look. Anyone have an opinion that I will look goofy with those off year caps? I'm just glad that I have something Dodge to cover the bare wheel look if it takes me a few years to get show perfect '65 caps.the sets I have I have a use for, however, I snatch up any I can find so I may wind up with more soon, I will let you know.
