It's a one owner 1967 Ford Custom 500, 289, stick shift, radio delete, 9" Posi. Came from New Mexico.
Should we put 17" vintiques steelies with the dog dish hubcaps, or gray spoke 17" Bullet wheels with the deep lip?
Thanks
Jeff

depends on the budget- low buck shop beater- steelies.

anything else- fat lips would work- but the huge wheel openings beg for at least 19".
17' would probably be lost in there-chris

It's gonna get a complete resto, not much is available as far as parts go.
Stock two tone aqua interior, most will be cleaned and re-used. Only windshield glass is available, so that'll get re-used as well. Probably a dark jade blue/geen exterior. The wheel wells are not that big on this, it's got 14" on it now. Room for 12" of tire in the back.
They don't make drag radials in 19's.
Thanks

Cool ride Jeff! I think either wheel would look great. What's going in it for motor, tranny, rear?

That should be pretty cool. Keep us posted.

It's got a 9" posi in it stock and a stick shift.
I was leaning towards a sleeper look with widened steelies but with,
twin turbos, efi on the 289, with a main and valley girdle of course and TKO 600 or Viper 6 speed. I'm gonna leave the radio delete, manual steering brakes (but with discs).
Did anyone see that beige Torino at the CC Nats with the 17" steelies? It was in CC a couple issues back.
