Pulled out the original wheels and tires that were taken off in June of 71! They have been moved around a few times over the years, but you can still see the little nubs on the treads. I believe they have about 2-4 miles on them!

They are pretty dry rotted and everything is now 4.5 bolt pattern. Maybe put one in trunk. Lol
 
as the car is getting closer, i'm trying to clean, inventory what I have. I pulled the trim rings off of my original wheels to check date codes. all dates the same and I believe the first time in 51 years the trim rings were removed! wheels held up pretty good considering the moving around, and actually sitting on a roller car outside for a few years.

Very cool! I am glad I could help move your parts so you had more cash to put it together, I hope to see it again sometime!
