Cragar Sparkler Mags N.O.S From 1970

Awesome. I know I posted something before on those in the Cragar thread...I have seen them in magazines but never in person, or even a close up view like you posted. Thank You. I will keep a watch in the cl***ifieds if you ever do decide to sell them.

 

I had carpet installed the seats redone( sacked out !) Have new wood cargo floor to finish, then try to re-install all the stainless on the back floor ( If anyone have done it PM me please ! or has pictures for reference) Next up wiper conversion, I'm not even going to mess with the spool and cable garbage ! Brad , hope you had a great Christmas , have a great New Year ! PS Will you be at Corvette and High Performance swap meet in Feb. Thanks Rob

 

I've never seen those before. Very cool. It's even cooler that they are complete with all the boxes/literature/etc.

 

Not quite. The GT had the aluminum extend out to the edge of the wheel. These are more like S/S's. The centers have a matte finish rather than a shiny chrome finish. Sort of looks like a 4th of July sparkler before you light it.

 

Sweet wheels !

 

Never seen those before...thats why I love this place...those are too cool....congrats!

 

Is that a '69???

 

Thanks Rob - Yes - should be there for the big swap! Signed up for GNRS and have my booth there and my '55 g***er...should be fun.

If anyone is interested I may have a lead on a set of these same Cragar Sparklers in 14x6

Talk soon!

 

Nice score! Awesome wheel's there going on my wanted list! There almost to nice to use.

 

Never been a Cragar fan, but those are pretty cool. Nice find, and some real cool history.

Showed those to my grandfather and he said theres a set in his addict that i can have!!!

 

Brad, I may be interested in the 14 x 6 ( Chevy 4 3/4 pattern ?) I have disc on the Nomad up front, will they clear disc brakes ? ..thanks Rob hmm Redline tires that would be sweeeet !

 

I'll let you know...waiting to hear back on the 14x6

 

Those are awesome! I'm jealous!

 

If there were ever a set of wheels I wish they'd remake, it'd be these. Pure awesomeness.

 

Thanks Buddy ! Any clue on disc brake clearance ?

 

Hey Brad, Those are pretty neat. I think you should sell them to Rob(He didn't put me up to it I promise) I have never seen them either. But that don't mean much. Hope all is well my friend. Hope your holidays were good.---Some loser in Tucson

 

Hey Dale - good to hear from you. I recently checked out your build on the coupe...really cool man. You have always had great vision with stuff vintage. I miss having you around here. Hope all is well with the new life in AZ, and congrats, sounds like you found a good woman.

Take care,

Brad

 

Ok... now all you gotta do is find some 8" Cragars and pop those centers out of two of them, and pop them into the 8"ers and put them on your *****en '55!!

You guys that corrected my statement about the Gt's are correct. I'm about blind and that proves it.

 

Thanks for the positive comment on the 34 build. It has been a long road to get this far. yes, All is well here is AZ. The weather took a turn for the worse yesterday. I felt like I was back in Wash. again We got snow up on the hills last night, Brrrrrrr! And yes, I did find me a good woman. Anybody that'll put up with me is gotta be tolerant to say the least. I was reading the thread on the Willys coupe awhile back and it brought back some memories of my old shop and hanging out. I am happy with my 34 though. No regreats. Those rims are sweet. They would look great on a Tri-Five for sure. Take care---Dale

 

Funny, I'm actually the blind one... I bought the GTs I have from a cold dark garage after a long day at work... I thought I was buying a pair of off-brand torq thrust copies and didn't know what I actually bought until I opened the trunk a couple days later!!

 

Those are way cool .love your 55 too..........

 

I had forgotten about those...excellent score

 

I have some old rusty cragars with peeling chrome on the centers. I am going to blast them and go with that look!

 

Here's a set on my buddy's 65 Goat. They have a cool look to them.

 

Thanks for the heads up on 14 x 6, just received them today !

 

WOW super jealous!!

 

I remembered this thread....and I've always loved Cragars, but I hated the way the chrome wouldn't last. Well I haven't even looked at new wheels in years but I needed a set so I looked around some. Found Cragar has a one piece aluminum S/S out now available with a painted center...I had to have a set. They will be here next week.

 

Sweet !
