What is the name, size, and brand of your wheels and tires? They look great!

Also, do you have a side view?

That is an absolutely gorgeous '68; great look with the thin whites. About the only way it might look classier is with a set of PO1's.

This was what mine looked like when I bought it last year.

It has been in the shop for 7 months replacing all the 40 years of neglect....Eventually it will be House of Kolors Brandy Wine Candy over a black base coat. Possibly a Black Cherry stripe down the center and across the rear.

I know I am late to the party, But her is my car when I first pick it up for its ride to its new home. I like the color but I am not sure which color code it is weather its a factory Vette color or not. The trim tag has the car as originally white with a red interior. The PO replaced the interior with all new stuff but in tan instead.
Even though I am in the process of redoing the car I am still not 100% decided on the final color.
