Finally got the 'CL' 14x7 steel wheels from Steve Johns (Commanche) this past Thursday. We've been trying to get this deal done since 2019 when the borders shut down. So, almost 3 years later, we finally finished the deal. The wheels came off a base Firebird 350 originally from southern Californian then Arizona for most of it's life and are all dated 1/16/70 (my spare CL is 4/09/70). The wheels are original Castilian Bronze as was the Firebirds body color too, and was equipped with the optional trim rings which left only minor scratches due to the lack of moisture and minimal corrosion. The CB paint looks amazing still as does the black backsides. I haven't cleaned them up yet, but will do that before I paint them Lucerne Blue. I'm going to leave the backsides in their original black paint. Thanks Steve for saving them for me!
