Trans-Am Camaros / Re: Wheels used on Trans-Am Camaros
« on: October 24, 2014, 06:01:43 PM »
In the early 70's [71-73] I worked at Murray Auto Supply in Miami while I was in school at Univ of Miami. I purchased the ex-Vince Gimondo Trans Am Camaro at that time ...directly from Vince. Later in 1971 I was given a set of ARE T-70 15x8" wheels directly from American Racing. After 2 qualifying sessions at the SCCA Paul Whiteman National Race the centers had 3 cracked spokes....we never used that set of wheels again. Once again, they were FREE but we sold them right way [conveniently] and bought a second set from Vince/Hank Thorp.. I witnessed many sets of T-70s have problems will I was in TA and IMSA competition.

Positive they were both all red. No logos at. For sure at least one had full white number circles......blank numbers. I was very aware at the time what they were and checked them out. My photos were very good .......but I am still looking for them.
I was driving my brother's "67 red Camaro 327 at the time when I passed by the dealer........still looking !!

I saw those 2 cars in 1968 inside the dealer showroom on SW Burnside in downtown Portland. I took pics but I can't find them.  They were both red with standard white Z28 stripes. Very stock looking, no Penske style upgrades.....  They were on Firestone tires with American Racing mags. Still have the pics and will look more for them.
