In my opinion the wheels ruin the look.

as for the rest of the car it's pretty damn snazzy.

It's awesome with the wheels. Exactly what they looked like in the 70's except not in as nice of condition.

The height of the rear should settle, that's springs only no air shocks.
Car is an original V code 440+6 4spd, and that's what it has today.
Yes Crager SS wheels...
Not everybody likes the look but us old folks grew up with the cars looking just like this ! :burnout:

Are those rear wheels going to rub when it settles? They look like they won't tuck but could just be the picture, or my eyesight.

The rear wheel lips have been rolled since the 70's....That's why I couldn't put wheel lip moldings on.

The car is NOT coded for stripes.....I love it just as is, but the owner is undecided on what he wants to do...

What do you guys think ? Clean look - look like every other 70 Cuda ?

You can always add stripes later.  Run it like it is for now.
