I'm late to the party on this one, but wow - congrats! What a killer car this was, and could be again.

Parked since 74? They weren't going fast for long lol

'71 was the first year for honeycombs, and based on this car's build date, I doubt very much anyone in Martinsville, VA had weighed (or possibly even seen) an actual honeycomb wheel when this car was ordered.
