Are they 15" or 16"? I may have one.
Nope. Not at all. That's a really nice car, 2-door or 4-door and I think your $3K price is fantastic. Good luck with it. You've got a good one...
Real nice job on that Rambler. It is sure to be one sweet ride. Joe
I would hope not but then again racers are always looking for a winning formula no matter what they race.
