Damn! A Boss 429 @ 20!
When I was fourteen years old, I was amazed at how unintelligent my father was. By the time I turned twenty-one, I was astounded at how much he had learned in the last seven years!

Those caps and rings (7"wide wheels) were std on Boss' and very popular back then. Lots of folks put the price of Magnums into real aluminum wheels after the sale.

  When I was looking for a set for my Ranchero I managed to buy the last pair of trim rings in Canada from a Ford dealer in Winnipeg. A little self wear and dusty, but original D0OZ. There very hard to find in half decent shape these days and pricey. The center cap was always easy to get.

Joe...that looks like one very nice piece? Not familiar with it. Looks like it might have age as well. what is it called and who made/makes it?

A beautifully crafted four-barreled combination "Vierling" gun. It has two 8 x 57R rifle barrels (roughly equivalent to the .30-06 Springfield cartridge), one .22 Hornet rifle barrel and a single 20-gauge shotgun barrel.

It's name "Vierling" which means "Quadruplet" in German.
.22 on the top, a pair of 8x57r, and a single 20 gauge. Just in case you see a rabbit, two antelope, and an angry lion.  :003:

That has to be an expensive gun. But would be nice to have one...especially where I will most likely be living. (we have money down on a place...cross yer fingers.) Targets could be  rabbit, deer and a turkey! (The bird type turkey not the politician...although...)   :005:
