Ralley IIs don’t belong an a '66. Not that I have tried to make this car 100% correct, but I wanted something different. Everybody does a Ralley II on a Pontiac. These are OEM '66 “poverty” hubcaps.

^^ I didn’t build it for you to like it 🤣

I figured the younger peeps won’t get it. My wallet can’t afford the wheels I want, so it’ll be this way for a while.

I know that for sure. I have a motor build planned for this car in the future. About 449 ci, hydraulic roller, forged internals, etc. Probably around 450-500hp. A very mild street motor.

It’s been 2 years last December. I guess that makes it 2.5 years.

This pic was taken December 17, 2006…

December 19, 2006 at my house, after I unloaded it out of the trailer & washed it…

May 9 2009…
