Looks good. I've never seen those wheels before. I like 'em. Are they factory?

They are Carroll Shelby wheels that came with the car...the car also came with the factory spider-web wheels.

Thanks for the comments guys!

Very nice, tidy car. (Not keen on the over sills, though.)

I notice it's been fitted with an oil temp gauge instead of the voltmeter. Is that factory?

Also, is that a Chevy badge on the back? What's with that? ...Or is the state of Texas? I can't quite make it out.

Only just spotted that.

Must be good for the sound, but I'd worry about cutting 4" holes in what is effectively the main chassis rail...

AFAIK the gauge is stock...it shows it in the owner's manual...In fact, it really was scaring me, because I thought it was the coolant temp gauge (since it isn't labeled at all) ...until I looked in the owner's manual...LOL

And that "Chevy badge" is some stupid Christian fellowship Bird emblem...I ripped that stupid thing off right after the pictures were taken.

Also, I had no idea that the speakers were after market... they do sound quite good.

nice find! there are some fairly unique additions to this one, that are rarely seen. certainly not your average '24, looks to have been well kept, and certainly appreciated in its past.. congrats!

Not bad! Those rims are different, and that's good. I had exactly the same shifter knob, one of the first things I replaced, and shredded seats. Looks like basically a "plug and play" machine, nice!!

Imagine the Romans if the Christians had that 924 to fight off the lions
