They would look similar but those rims do not have the correct part numbers or the exact correct appearance. He needs the infamous "450" rims on the car. The tires should also have F60 15 in raised white letters....The PolyGlas without the raised tire size were early 70 not correct for 71 cars. :2cents:

Is that the one that was seized in a drug bust or something in Washington state many years ago?

Apparently yes it was that seized Cuda.  There was a backstory on the car in the news or on the show.  Looked good in person though.

I guess that depends on whether you are buying or selling.  I think it's a good thing.   :2thumbs:

Like toxicwolf said, depends where you are in the hobby. One thing that higher prices is definitely good for, is repro parts. If they can get a better $ for the part, more likely to be re-popped.
