Trans-Am Camaros / Minilite wheel question

« on: April 05, 2016, 03:25:11 AM »

anyone a Minilite wheel expert or historian? I was informed tonight there were two styles of Minilite wheels, the difference being where the spokes attach to the flat of the center, on the wheels I have the spokes curve down to the hub, tonight I was told on the other style they are chopped off as used on the Owens-Corning Corvettes, (please click the link and then click pic #1 to make it slightly larger)  http://www.corvette-mag.com/issues/55/articles/winning-streak#.VwMvp5wrISk, my question is are there two styles or did the O-C team machine the center of their wheels? thanks in advance!!

Trans-Am Camaros / Re: Penske Javelin 4 lug Minilites

thank you!!
I was told that John Greenwood bought all the 4 lug wheels from Penske, had them "fixed", but because they weren`t drilled perfectly Greenwood came up with this retainer that bolted to the hub so he could use 5/8" bolts with the noses cut down as lug studs, anyone know why Greenwood did the hub retainer and 5/8 bolts ?

Ralph Webb's Camaro getting ready to head to the track for the '68 Meadowdale Trans-Am.


Photo: Mike Jarchow Collection

This car was owned by Arnie Fick and sponsored by O A Fick Tool and Die Works in Chicago.  It is a 1967 Camaro that was a repo. Almost everything was stripped from it, including the grill, so a 1968 grill was installed.

Jon, I am having trouble with my scanner. Can you please post a couple more of the pictures I sent you of this car.  I know there is the rear shot in the driveway and an action shot from the 1968 Trans Am at Meadowdale with Ralph Webb driving.

does this car exist today?? who owns it?? thank you

Yes...it was parted out.  Vern Brown  of Verona, Wisconsin purchased the remains...  How did you end up with the Koni's?

I purchased them from Corvette racer Howard Nardick after seeing his ad for them on a Camaro website. I'm not sure how he got them but he said they came off of the Shafer/Dunbar Camaro.

Bill Keefe from Keefe Performance in the Phoenix area has the car now.  He has Vern's Corvette too...and my Corvette.

actually Mike he doesn`t, the firewall back body went to a Madison area junk yard along with the title, Vern Brown will confirm this as he`s the one who sold it for scrap, Vern will also confirm billy keefe/okeefe swiped Vern`s extensive scrap book his wife Joyce (now ex wife) kept, billy promised to return it but never did. I bought all the wheels off the car and a ti distributor. the Koni`s came from the Blackhawk farms/Ray Irwin garage sale, Ray told me he got them from Jerry Dunbar................HN
