The wheel color wasnt an elective choice.
Somewhere on here before , there was a guide chart posted for wheel-to-body color.

Someone had a light turquoise car they were restoring and the chart called for dark turq wheels , but he went with body color out of personal preference .
And another guy didn't like his chart color and matched his to the body color - in that thread.
If that helps ring any bells to anybody about finding it.

I probably saved the chart - but all my stuff is trapped on a sick laptop.

It makes me hesitant about what would actually be correct for a barrier blue survivor.
Black works with them all pretty much , but it may not be correct

Its going to be a bitch to drive.
66 with PS can turn lock to lock with one finger while sitting still.
They called it wonder-touch and that's a pretty good description.
Yours will take both hands and both arms.

The brakes will take getting used to , maybe a lot of getting used to if you haven't already done a bit of old car piloting in the past.

If it were mine to keep , both would get factory power assist upgrade.
And a Posi rear axle.
And Rally Ones.

The lack of PS and PB is a minus on a convertible cruiser.
The lack of Posi is a minus on any GTO

If it were an XS TriPower/RamAir Induction with 4.33 posi axle , the Non-PS and Non-PB would be more in tune with that combo.

Your car has so much Plus Factor due to its condition that a few minuses aren't a really big deal .
I would have suspected it was a price leader lot car versus a customer special order.
