Seller claims they’re factory, BaT doesn’t.

e21 rims: 6 x 13, ET13 (examples on BAT car were cast November 1978). Manufactured by Intra (or marketed under the Intra name). But an almost “early ‘70’s” appearance, with webbing between the spokes a la Ronal Kleeblatts.

Sad story: the poor car sat around the factory wheel-less from 1973 until the rims were cast in 1978… 🙄

They are not factory.  INTRA was actually a very good wheel.  We sold a ton of them in the 70’s especially for the VW Rabbit ( same bolt pattern, different offset),   I don’t know what happened to INTRA but they fell off the map by the mid 80’s

Hmm, Purolator Micronic Air Filter.

Don't they all say that?  

BTW ... did everyone notice the wimpy ground wire on the alternator (pictures 74 & 76)?

Nice car!  Small bumpers on a square light really do look nice as do the wheels.

The ad also says it plain as day, listed under Features: "Square taillights"

Yeah John, and it's extra long to decrease current flow even farther.

Nice MY74 example. Bumbers looks odd: Front cones looks like US model and euro cars didn't have cones at all at the back (even in 1973).

Those INTRA wheels look really cool.  Too bad they are the 6x13 ET13 offset which makes them stick out so much from the fender wells...  The ones listed in the wheel database at 6x13 ET28 would be ideal...

 

And 175/70 tires, don't get me started 😁

Yep, and the extra length also helps keep it cool in the fan wash.

Not quite the level of detail compared  to the two great listings from last week, the automatic and Rob Siegels listing.  No mention/photo of engine VIN from what I see.  On the other hand, it does have the very rare “chrome fuel filler cap.”  Tom

or you could just say “they fill the wheel well a little bit more” 😜😂

Gives it that roller skate look..
