What is the correct name of the wheels of the Vette in that article. I always called them oval slots, but I know that is not the offical name of that wheel. Anybody?

Square - I think the wheels are Ansen Slotted mags.
Terry - Yes, it's a coupe (t-top)
I don't think they built any Phase III's on roadster bodys:(

Oh my god! I just found a site that specifies the color of the blue Phase III with the white stripe as LeMans Blue. That's what color mine is! I thought I was going to have to re-paint my whole car a darker blue and then add the stripe. Oh yes, I will have the Phase III stripe.

427V8, I won't let you beat me to the stripe. This means I have to get my suspension put back together, buy a clutch, put my motor in, and take it to my buddy that does body work before you decide to do it :jester

Well you've got at least a year to do it!
I still have to finish striping my car and clean up the bodywork.....

Besides, my will most likely be red with a black stripe

Besides, then we can start a Baldwin motion look alike registry!:D

Square - Here is an ad for the wheels you were asking about.
Ansen was the first, followed by American Racing & Cragar.

Anyone have any more photos of the Ballwin Motion paint job. Man that is just to trick. Please email me if you do. I am finishing up a paint job and that would be just awesome. Of course I am not gonna admit to not knowing what a Phase III 427 GT was until today. Gotta love this forum !!!!.

Those must be the pics from Kevin Suydam's collection. Absolutely a gorgeous car. That is the one that I just found out today is LeMans Blue. I have been lusting over this car from the day I saw it. If anyone has any pics that aren't on the net, (I've seen em all ) post or email em.
