this is a later spoiler on a 73
That's what I figured, I will know the difference so I'll wait til I find the correct one for the car.

3-piece rotiform BLQ maybe? Nice modern wheel, suggestive of the snowflakes? I'm just trying to get you thinking and dreaming..

No idea what these are. Look like some sort of BBS, but i'm no expert on wheels. They look good though.

That car is amazing in person. I'be seen it a couple of times at different LS events (LS Fest,etc)

STUPID amounts of attention to detail and a real high dollar build, but the dude still beats the ever living shit out of it.

I rechecked, no code in the back side of the block behind the heads only the date code in the center.

I'm no help identifying the heads or the block.

A 70's TransAm or Firebird is on my project list ( black and gold). I've been looking at them for a little while now but haven't quite decided how much I want to spend on the initial purchase. Obviously the more spent initially, the less work will need to be done. I'm not a fan of body work so I don't want to start with one that will need a bunch of sheet metal work. I think I'm looking for one that needs a motor/ trans and or interior completed/ re-done. I don't want to buy a completed one either as I have found I enjoy the process of building cars more fun than the completed product.

Oh,go here too...

Why can't all wheels be that cheap? $800 for a set of 4 is not bad at all.

I wonder if they make custom Subaru fitments?

That's not a bad price at all. A lot of people want close to that for originals in only semi-decent shape.
