I am considering a California Special that is located about 200 miles from my home. I'll definitely inspect before buying but am trying to do as much due diligence before heading out.
The car has aftermarket wheels but the owner says that he thinks he has the originals that came with the car (although he is not original owner). I have only seen pictures of the car (with the aftermarket wheels) and the owner is an older gentlman that doesn't know how to use a digital camera (he sent me the car pictures via US post). Therefore he can't take a quick pic of the original wheel and send it to me...
I have been looking for GT/CS' for a while and have noticed that most GT/CS have a steel wheel (sometimes chromed) with center cap and chrome outer ring. I sent him (he can check email) a picture of a GT/CS with 'typical' wheels and he said his wheels did not look like that...
He described his wheel as color-keyed to the car (in this case lime gold) with a 10" hubcap that had some kind of mustang symbol (not sure if it is words or pony). He said that the hub cap does not cover the entire wheel (you can see the lime green between hubcap and tire). He also said that there were 4 gaps or holes around the wheel (outside the hubcap).
The marti report says the car came with 'deluxe wheel covers'...
Has anyone ever seen a wheel like this? Is this OEM Mustang?
Thanks in advance for any help...
