front too high, rear too low.
wrong year rims, and wrong color. I used to have the spare from my old 75 that was painted blue, just not that metal flake blue.
wrong year bird.

but if he likes it, that's all that matters. at least it is one more bird on the road, not in a wrecking yard.

Agree 100%

Yrs ago Parted a '78 Martini Blu W72 Auto non-WS6 w factory installed body color matched Rally IIs w Trim Rings, CRT caps, etc. I preferred the look of those RA IIs without the trim rings. The wheel spokes were standard argent silver, and they looked great deeper dish minus the rings w RWL Tires...

was never a big fan of the painted ralleys, just my 2 cents, the painted honey combs either.

Martinique Blue w Camel (Saddle) Gut is not a color combo I personally care for, others will disagree and so be it. Each to their own. Original appearing undercarriage etc. images.
