Here is a 76X in Manhattan, KS. Looks a little rough, but lots of work has been done to everything but the exterior.
Lol. They’re lovely. Just a quick blasting and colour change and voila! Please note the ‘spare’ wheel on the $38k MWB extravaganza…..Best color. Horrible wheels. (you knew that was coming tvmaster.)
This, and the French blue, really are great colours….Great car and relatively easy restoration candidate.
Pretty much exactly like the spare that came with my '86 (they are Pirelli not Michelin). You would have a hard time fitting a wider tire in there, the space was never deepened when wider wheels were fitted standard, they stayed with the 145/80-13 as the spare.‘spare’ wheel on the $38k MWB extravaganza
Did you get a different wheel in the spare slot as compared to the wheels on the car? On this ‘museum’ car, which of the two were likely the correct ones….Pretty much exactly like the spare that came with my '86 (they are Pirelli not Michelin).

The spare wheel in the photo is correct for an '85. Steel wheel with a Pirelli tire. The spare in my '85 still had the original tire when the car came to me in '08.Did you get a different wheel in the spare slot as compared to the wheels on the car?

Yes that is the wheel on all four of my 85’s wheels on the ground and the fifth in the spare tire well was exactly that rim with a Pirelli P3 from when it was produced. I replaced it before my sisters drove it from Los Angeles to Vermont with a P44 of the same size.The spare wheel in the photo is correct for an '85. Steel wheel with a Pirelli tire.
