All,
I have access to a set of GT40 wheels, that were allegedly installed on a particular non-GT40 car, back in the late 60's, probably 1968, by Goodyear. The car is a very low production SN#, was imported as a show car, and was shipped to Goodyear to have the conversion to the KO hubs etc. At least that is how the story goes.....
Did Goodyear Corp "own" any cars or did they simply sponsor car #1009? (and perhaps others.....)
Interesting thing about the wheels is that the centers were blacked out.....and apparently 1009 ran blacked out centers also......
Are there any markings on these rims that could verify their origin, ie GT car # or ????
I found out about this car back in about 1996 and have been keeping an eye on it....now it is up for sale, and I may want to rescue the rims/conversion for my car!
Thoughts or comments?
Thanks!
Steve
