Factory aluminum front brake drums were offered on 65-66 only as an option.

65-66

Few and Far between.
Have seen some cars with them installed.
But have never come across a PHS documented example

Hi,

Would you be able to post photos of the front Rally I wheel showing the Red Aluminum drum behind the slots.

Also post a pic of your PHS “Car Billing History” showing the #651.

Thank you.

Sorry, the red paint was peeling off, so I stripped the remaining paint & have painted the drums black.

My car was converted to RHD back in 1966 by a dealer who specialised in converting upmarket US cars to RHD. We are talking 10s, not 100s of each model. Cars were then sold by a select few GM dealers.

Not PHS documented, but it came with some rare options for cars sold here at that time. Wood wheel, map lights, factory air, L & R rear vision mirrors, door edge guards, radio, rally pack.
