Reply to "Factory Wheel Options"

George is correct in that the factory color in the 1971-74 era was always solid silver... Just for clarification (or perhaps to confuse the issue even further!!) there are the single-slot Campy's George mentions, as well as at least FOUR different versions of the dual-slot wheels. An article by Mike Drew appeared in Profiles 6 or 7 years ago with photos and a comparison. The difference is so subtle that you'd probably never notice unless someone pointed them out to you.

The major differences involved the thickness of the ribs and the castings. I'd guess that the molds used to cast the rims wore out and they built several?

Oh, and George's suggestion is a good one... As you point out it is hard to find documentation on these cars, and those books are good sources. I also like the DeTomaso buyer's guide.
