I got lucky on Ebay the other day and found 4 original 1966 hubcaps that were supposedly only on the car until 1968 at which time they were replaced with wheels. $100.00 shipped for all 4. What do you think ?

Sweet.

Since I'm going original via my build sheet on my 66 GT, I would have paid you that per hubcap had they have been with the spinner in the center in that good of shape.

Good deal...

Btw, what tires are those?

I believe Hankook has discontinued the whitewalls. I have some 215-70R14 Optima 724 with whitewalls but their website doesn't show them any longer.

Allen,

Those are the same tires that my friend Linda has on her '67 that I worked on the winter before last.

Perfect look for "stock" IMO

Ironically, I have the same tires as you, and I have 4 NOS hub caps sitting in storage. However, mine have never been on a car at all. I tried to sell them, but never found a buyer. I think I finally lowered the price to "whatever you'll give me".

Discount Tire has them. https://www.discounttiredirect.com/...MIifLshKmT5QIVB__jBx2m8wyxEAkYASABEgKJVfD_BwE

You must have been asking too much for those hubcaps if you couldnt sell them. Lots of people like the stock 66 hubcaps.

Nothing wrong with $25ea shipped ! I would be over the moon for double that with spinners.

I still see the Hankook H724 White Wall Optimo's listed at all "Discount Tire Chain" Dealers.

Discount Tire may still have some old ones in stock but it appears to me that Hankook doesn't make them any more.
