Anyone know what kind of wheels these are?It didnt come with the centers.I know the fuel lines and radiator hold down are wrong but I will fix that if I keep it.

I'd save it. Looks like a nice rust free car.

I would save it. Looks pretty straight and solid. If you don't have time and space for it, I'm sure you can find it a good home. The wheels look like the old Progressive 5 stars.

I have a set on a mercury capri.The ones on the camaro dont have the threaded hole for the center cap.They look like the cap snaps in.So I dont think there progressive wheels.

They aren't making more. I'd say save it, if it's as solid as it looks.

Re: 1988 Sport Coupe parts car should I save it?
Being a 5 speed I absolutely would save it even if it required a decent amount of rust repair provided the conversion was done right. At worst you could probably put the car back together some and a good cleaning later double your money.

Save it. There are a bunch on the road that look a lot worse.
