Title: Wheels and tires needed
Post by: ProTouring442 on August 28, 2010, 05:51:18 AM
I am in need of 4 Fox-body wheels with tires that hold air in or around the Gaithersburg, MD area. These will be used on the car when they remove it (it's totaled) so I can sell the Enkei rims and Yokohama tires that are currently on it.

I had my blue Bird up on blocks with no rear suspension or front tires.The flat bed hooked it up to a cable and drug it right up there without even breaking a sweat.It was going to the s yard anyway.

Hmmm... I'll have to see about that. I'm guessing they'll want it to roll, but it might work...

I had a junker hauled out on 4 steel wheels with no tires. Same deal, they winched it up onto a flatbed no problem.

Well, it was in Tennessee, but we took it to MD to visit. During this trip the rebuilt turbo decided to eat a seal. The good news is that there should now be no mosquitoes in Maryland at this point!

Yes, but I am not so sure the insurance company will be too happy is it is wheel-less. Hmmm....

Not that much, but that is the way it goes with a car that isn't worth that much to begin with...

It was side swiped in a parking lot. The passenger quarter received only minor damage, while the door and fender are pretty much s. The estimate is for some $2500 and thus I am 95% sure they will total it (I haven't actually gotten official word). I am going to inquire as to the buy-back if anyone is interested in the car. It has a lot of good stuff on it, such as:

Stainless, mandrel bent 3" exhaust
Bob's Log
Rebuilt (but has needs) IHI turbo w/upgraded compressor
Good black(ish) cloth interior

I'll let everyone know once I get the buy-back price in case anyone is interested.
