Look to be well done overall.   Wonder what the seller wants for it.  I've seen a 71 6cyl hemi tribute cvt go for 150K on Hemmings auction.

I agree...   if you are building a car like this that wasn't original anyway, why would you
go with the poverty wheels?   A few people like it, but many folks think it looks terrible on
a car like this.   Looks like it had four flat tires and somehow had room for four spares in
the trunk...   

I can't find any evidence to support it at the moment, but my understanding of this boring
wheel option was that people would select it when ordering a new vehicle that they intended
to remove the wheels anyway and put their own wheels and tires, presumably for racing.
It was the cheapest way to go for wheels they were going to remove.

You should know what you paid for yours, what do you think it's worth ?

Haha - I'm building the same car now (just a 426 though) in Vitamin C and I am planning on using the painted wheels. I just like the way it looks. I'm doing 15" pained wheels with bias ply and 15" rallye wheels with BF Good.

I personally love the painted wheel look. I had them on my Plum Crazy Challenger too.

I did not get a fender tag readout, but I did get an answer that this car does not have an M46 code on the fender tag.

Last bid was $101,600 and was Reserve Not Met!

I purchased mine in 2016 and paid market.  It was the downside of the hemi tribute market.  Wondering where prices are now, the Hemmings 150K is the highest I've seen yet.
