Those look like regular D holes with the cougar head center caps. If he paid $500 each for those rims I will sell mine now.

I bet back in '85 or whatever, they might've cost that much from the dealer.

My 84 had a 3.8 and it was Carbed so I doubt he did any kind of conversion.

My 84 5.0 has CFI so maybe, but I still don't think so. He's just milking it for every cent to make it worth more

I didn't even read the 3.8 part. I was just thinking 5.0.

Depends on where the car was destined to go. 3.8L's in Canada got carbs.

1000 bucks in brakes? Definatly not impossible, i have about 1600 in wheels, tires, and brakes in my car.
