71 Vert
Well I took the plunge a bought 71 vert. Brands Hatch green. Non numbers matching 350/400 turbo car.
I'm going the LS1/4L60E route. I've done a half dozen LS swaps into various vehicles. 99 BMW 323 vert, 79 and 73 Camaro's, 98 Wangler and 67 Nova. I like the LS powertrains.
I'm doing a frame on restoration. Frame and paint are nice.
I need some advice on what some parts are worth. When I opened the spare tire carrier it looks like its the original spare. F70 x 15 Goodyear. Holds air for about a week. Full tread depth. What's it worth?
Original steering box and slave. Needs rebuilding. I'm going the Borgesen route. What's this worth?
I'm in sunny Carlos MN. Not looking to make a killing just not of any value to me.
Regards,

It's raised white letter. The white is kind of faded. I didn't try cleaning it so not to remove the white letters. No weather checking at all. As I look at threads looking at wheels the date code always comes up. I looked on the wheel which looks to be a dark, dark almost black painted rally but I couldn't find the stamping in the wheel with a date. Any particular spot to look?

Hi 71,
The date consisting of month, day are stamped in line with, and very near the valve stem hole. The month on one side and the day on the other.
The other stamp consists of a letter for the manufacturer, K; the plant at which it was produced, 1 (for Corvette wheels), and the year.
Original Corvette wheels were silver on the outside and black on the inside.
The first thing to look for on the tire is to see if it is marked indicating it's of nylon cord construction.
This would put it in the era that those interested in original tires are looking for.
Regards,
Alan
