So, Fran called me today. He told me he will be going ahead with production. He told me that he has some owners of original 427 cars that want a set. He said he has about 1/2 of the production run reserved. The wheels will be gold and the valve stem will be in the original location.
Price? $1,200/wheel. Call Fran, if you want a set or have any questions, just don't ask me, because I have trouble tying my shoes. Fran's # is (412)441-5750.
Of course, I'm skeptical. But he sounded like he had determination in voice this time, like the wheels being produced were fait accompli.
EDIT: Chas, don't give me a hard time. I'm already depressed.
