Correct - the '63-4 is a different wheel from the more common (later) 8-lugs

In Response To: I may be wrong,Howard but I think Bob is referring to the wheels you're looking for, not the actual car. , , BTW, if you're going replica stock, there's actually at least 3 different center caps for the 8-bolt wheels depending on the year you want. *NM* ()

Been three years since I poured anything in anger, so my memory is a touch hazy on what is in stock, but, fairly sure I did the '64 GP wheel from the kit.

The tell is a conical center cap, versus the flatter cap of the '65 - '68 that is in all the MPC kits from that era, and a the AMT '65 GP.

I prefer the '63-'64, which looks more finished; had a restorable set that were going to be added to the '66 2+2, right before I got an offer I couldn't refuse ...

- Howard......I assume you mean Pontiac 8 bolt wheels.....the Moebius 1961 Ventura has a nice 4 piece wheel, I think all their Pontiacs have the 8 lug wheels, AMT's 1965 Pontiac 2+2 has a nice one piece chromed set of 8 lug wheels. *NM*
