Central IN Barn Find: Time-Capsule 1974 E-T Ⅳ "Cookie Cutter" Wheels (Set of 6)

[IndyAlchemy817]

Attention serious vintage Mustang collectors, Shelby restorers, and period-correct "Day-Two" builders.

Up for sale is an absolute museum-grade, matching survivor time-capsule set of six (6) original vintage E-T Ⅳ aluminum slotted wheels (universally known as "Cookie Cutters" or "Slot Mags") complete with original hardware and unbelievable vintage rubber.

🚜 The Provenance & "Day-Two" Street History:

This entire lot is a true central Indiana barn find.

I purchased them directly from a local farm family in my neighborhood.

The original owner was a gentleman who worked directly for Ford Motor Company and cherished his original 1968 Ford Shelby GT Mustang.

Mounting a set of heavy-cast American slots was the absolute definitive custom trend across the streets of America in the mid-1970s.

This exact setup reflects the legendary "Day-Two" car culture—recreating the precise look of a raw muscle machine pulling into a local drive-in car meet or lining up at a stoplight next to a rival cruiser.

Stowed away safely under tarps in dry storage for decades, this is your chance to secure an untouched piece of street-racing history.

For anyone aiming to compete in high-end car show fields or regional exhibition classes, this unmatched un-restored package offers the ultimate opportunity to capture a trophy for period-correct street originality.

This represents exactly what local street enthusiasts and hot rodders did with these legendary muscle cars back in the day, providing an authentic time-capsule presentation that modern catalog replicas simply cannot mirror.

💎 Ironclad Authenticity & Details:

Genuine Vintage Lineage: 100% authentic, heavy American-cast survivor pieces from Wheel Corp of America—strictly no modern reproductions.

Model & Sizing: Deeply factory-stamped "E-T Ⅳ - 14 x 6.75".

Rare Staggered Backspacing Stance: An incredible discovery during our hands-on cleaning—this 6-piece lot features a factory-ordered staggered depth configuration.

Two (2) of the wheels feature shallower backspacing engineered for front brake caliper/fender clearance, while the others feature the iconic deep-dish drop center style for an aggressive rear stance.

Original 1970s SEMA Decals Intact:

Intact on the inner barrels are multiple original, un-restored SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) Quality Control Decals (including factory serials AA 3104155 and AE 582831).

This offers absolute proof of original 1970s manufacturer compliance and confirms the inner barrels have never been sandblasted or chemically stripped.

Patent Authenticated: Features the full, crisp factory-cast authenticity mark on the inner lip reading:

U.S. PAT. No. 3329468 alongside a bold-
"MADE IN U.S.A." stamp.

Foundry Date Stamped:

The inner lips feature original vintage 1974 foundry date codes (stamped "74 6 21 7"), grounding them perfectly to June 21, 1974.

Five (5) Near-Flawless Green Center Caps:

Includes a complete matching set of five (5) original push-through chrome dome center caps featuring the famous, vibrant molded green background E-T block logo inserts.

A physical video audit confirms all 4 caps are in beautiful, scratch-free, and damage-free survivor condition (guarantees a full 4-corner stance setup plus an identical matching spare-*spare cap has 1 plastic tab missing).

The Vintage BFGoodrich Tires: Five (5) of the wheels come mounted with legendary vintage BFGoodrich Radial T/A and Lifesaver Radial (GR60-14) tires.

These are spectacular survivor display pieces. Two (2) of the tires still clearly showcase their original factory tread molding "whiskers/nubs" fully intact. All mounted tires have been individually tagged (#1 through #5) and have excellent, deep vintage tread verified via a classic quarter depth test. Note: Due to age, these tires are strictly for static vehicle display, museum, or showroom rolling use only (NOT safe for highway driving).

🛠� Condition Note:
This complete lot consists of 5 wheels mounted with tires and 1 bare solo wheel. A hands-on audit confirms that the five mounted wheels are structurally phenomenal and completely free of curb damage on the faces. The classic raised white lettering cuts through the dust and cleans up brilliantly bright with just a light pass of a sponge.

The bare solo wheel features some light vintage curb rash on the outer lip—nothing a professional shop can't easily correct with an aluminum TIG welder or a handheld grinder.

I have hand-polished the bare solo wheel using White Diamond polish to show the stunning, bright, mirror-like potential of the vintage aluminum.

The remaining mounted wheels are left unpolished and hand scrubbed completely clean (front and back), allowing the next owner to preserve the authentic survivor patina or polish them up to match the "hero" wheel.
