Do I see a late sixties Riviera in the weeds, to the left of the Imp?

Every one of those 66 Toro's deserves to be saved.

Most likely. I know there's a 64 Riviera up front.

Hey, when you get to be my age, you call it as it is!

The one in my avatar is not a Hurst, but I do have one - but not as nice.

Iirc they are 15 x 8s from the mid '70s and they're in very nice condition. I wouldn't mind finding 2 more slightly narrower for the fronts and use them on my '68.

 

[pomonamissel]

i have one 15x7 x4 1/2 bc american , and one 15x7x5 bc , have a pair of 15x6 3/4x 5 bc americans , this 6 3/4 rim is 0 offset only made in 69 . i do have a set of four of 15x8 1/2x 4 1/2 bc that have the bands polished . so what would you want for your pair ? after all i could do another pair , not sure if i have enough of them , is that call hoarding lol . i must say i do things to the extreme sometimes , but i do use my stuff , this is from the wagons , and phrank'n dodge just stuff laying

around my place . the ratrod tub is willys ford chevy plymouth , orangy is just a pile of parts from others .

 

[detmatt]

I'll have a look and take some pics on Monday.

 

[pomonamissel]

sure no issues .

 

[pomonamissel]

just got gone installing a msd 6 with a chrysler electronic dizz , tuck it under the dash , fed the wire leads to the engine through the firewall . still looks old tech .

 

[BigblueC]

pomonamissel, I think you you have surpassed back-yard-hoard and jumped into parts gold mine. I've a buddy that has a red wagon collection like yours. Every time he buys stuff at a car show/swap meet he winds up buying a wagon to carry his crap.

A lot of nice rat rods running around my area. One guy has a 392 with a thumper cam and funny car type pipes on it. Loud as hell and sounds bad ***.

I have a brutal soft spot for business vehicles. That 1960 wagon just kills me! Sad that every damned one I find is SO far gone.

Wagon rentals at the bigger shows has taken off....put them to use

Any photos of the blue Imperial facing it?, thanks for starting this thread.

Sorry I missed this post. Next time I stop by I snap some more pictures. The guy said I could walk around, but I didn't have time that day. That Imperial is for sale and looks to be drivable with some maintenance. There are quite a few Imperials out there. Here's an aerial view of the yard.
