1985 Locking Lug Nut Bag

[Pat F.]

Trying to help out a fellow NCRS Member who is the original owner of 1985. Does anyone have a photo of the 1985 Locking Lug Nut Bag?

If you don't have a photo, but know the color and part number, that would be a start.

I will look in my stash and see if I have one.

Re: 1985 Locking Lug Nut Bag

Dave, thanks for your response. I do appreciate the time you took to explain the finding of the Wheel Locking Bag in your Corvette.

Is there any way you can post a photo or give the number on it?

I am going to attach a photo from a 1986 Corvette listing on E-Bay that shows the Wheel Locking Bag. Once again, I do not know if it is correct, only what is shown as one of the photos from the 1986 Corvette listing.

I do not know at this point if they are the same for 85-86.

Thanks again.

Re: 1985 Locking Lug Nut Bag

Dave, thanks for taking the time to send me the photos of the Wheel Locking Kit Bag that you have with your 1985.
It is different than all the ones I have in my data base, but that does not mean it is not correct for your 1985. We do not have anything to compare it with.
Most of the Wheel Locking Kit Bags that I have seen have the words "Wheel Locking Kit" on the bag and also have three letters, like the example I forwarded in the 1986 photo.

I am continuing my research and will send along any additional information that comes to my attention.

My friend is the original owner of a 3000 mile 1985 that was just judged at the National. He has no recollection of a Wheel Locking Kit provided with his 1985 Corvette. He is trying to research this issue now.

Thanks again for your help.

Re: 1985 Locking Lug Nut Bag

The bag and all the additional items appear the same as my wife's Feb 1985 she was original owner. White bag, instruction card, registration envelope and tag. We no longer have the car but when the car was judged in 2004 those were all the wheel lock items we had for judging. Sorry we do not have photos of everything put it appears to be exactly the same as her car had. We made up a 3 ring binder with paper work she had for the car it was 30 sleeves both sides filled of papers, bags and other items. I should have photografted all of the docs but we did not buy a digital camera till a year or 2 after. I was stuck in 1970's with my old 35mm SLR.

Re: 1985 Locking Lug Nut Bag

Dave, in reference to your latest post, I am glad that you have what maybe the original Wheel Locking Kit Bag.

I also appreciate the input from Paul, which is of a great assistance in establishing the early history of the C4.

I do not own this 1985 C4, but is owned by a fellow member of the Central New Jersey Chapter. The retired Chief of Police you mentioned is an individual that every chapter should have in its membership. He takes the time and explains anything you want to know. Spent an afternoon with him three weeks ago going over OPS Judging.

I am attaching some photos of this Blue 1985 taken at the National.

Dave, I will contact the owner and get the information you requested.

Again, both Dave and Paul, thanks for your input.

Took me a while, but I did come up with a bag from an 84. Perhaps this photo will help some others.

Re: 1985 Locking Lug Nut Bag

Tom, you just beat me to the punch. I was just going to start a new thread asking for 1984 owners to post a photo of their Locking Lug Nut Kit Bag.

I will take any photos for the 84-85 and 86 model year.

Tom, thanks again for all your help

Did McGard supply the locking lug nuts to GM?

Re: 1985 Locking Lug Nut Bag

Folks, through the time and effort of Ken Barry, I am attaching a photo of the 1985 Wheel Locking Kit Bag that has never been opened.

Ken was able to provide me with a history of this bag as he owned it at one time and now it is in his family.

Ken, thanks for your effort.

Dave, I read your response to me on the private message system and I am sorry you feel that way.
