Here are the one and only ever, gold campis made in the entire history of the world. I promise these are for real and will let anyone who wants to examine them in person.

I see what you are saying...yes...they say Campagoldo right?

No, they are real campis, not counterfit.

Okay, they are real Campis. And they are golden in color, okay.

When in their thirty year history they become golden is still up for discussion. I believe De Tomaso DID release some of the spoked style Campis from the factory painted/plated gold.

So perhaps a buyer saw the spoked golden wheels and asked for a set of the two slot Campis to be fitted to his special order Pantera using the same treatment.

As we all know by now, De Tomaso would create just about any combination of whatever was at-one-time-available for the special order European cars. Chrome bumpers, delta wing/no wing GT5S cars, your choice of tail lights - makes knowing what was FACTORY original very difficult for non-Ford cars.

In any case, they are pretty nice looking wheels.

Gold wheels, a la BBS centers, were very fashionable during that era.

But then again, so was disco, and look what became of that.

So if you can't find some way to document their authenticity...

Nope. Gold wheels (correctly done) can still be made to look cool and up-to-date. I redid my Gotti G55A's in that color and quite frankly, the change to that color made it stand out.

Exactly Larry. The guy who ordered my car had a very specific list of equipment he wanted. I think he was a really rich guy though. Musta had a ton of money. I kinda feel he was a guy who went to Lemans every year too just to watch and hang out with other rich bastards. Just an intuition.

Oh yeah. I have some Hall Ultras and when I redo my car I am going to get the centers gold chromated. Pantera race cars had gold wheels so therefore, Panteras need gold wheels to look bitchin.

After the Hall Ultras are a gold color, you can get a big gold screamin' chicken decal for the hood of your Pantera, and ask Sally Fields to ride as your passenger. A CB radio would be nice too, good buddy.

A Chicken and a Cat parked in the same garage....

Back in the days when I was yound and good looking, I had a 75 Trans Am the same as Gary's. It may have been a chicken but it sure attracted a lot of pussy.

Thats just too freakin funny DeTom
