Rodent Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 A question for the (other) old farts on here. What 1:1 wheel was the optional wheel that came in the late 60s MPC Coronets and Chargers through the early 70s? I don't remember seeing them on real cars.
Can-Con Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) They're Cragar "GT Plus" wheels. Shelby used them on some GT 350s around '66. They also did a version with the steel rim and aluminum center as opposed to the all aluminum in this old ad. They started selling them again as the "500" IIRC. The version available currently Edited January 30, 2017 by Can-Con
Rodent Posted January 30, 2017 Author Posted January 30, 2017 Thanks Steve. I was aware of the Shelby wheel, but somehow didn't connect the two as the same wheel.Working on a 50th anniversary tribute build, and I was thinking about using those wheels.
