----Sam,,,Sitting here reading and watching Kindigit! So, I feel its appropriate to say,,,Bitchin!!!!.......Bill S

Ha!!!!!!!!!!!! ;>))

I remember back in '83-84 or so, a neighbor had those Firestone Super Sports on a '68 Chevelle. Haven't seem those tires in YEARS!

Firestone steel slots dated 1969
 

I picked these up this week, they were on a 66 Vette drag car. Anyone know anything about these wheels? Attached is a pic of the tires and wheels on the Vette. The car is currently getting ready to be street driven, the now owner installed a SB tunnel ram, got the hood scoop painted to match by a local shop near me, they did an amazing job blending and matching that green metal flake and endless stripes paint scheme. This car will be for sale soon. I will resize the pics of the car and attach.

66 Vette
 

I do not like his choice of new tires and wheels, he bought everything from Summit.

Kool paint!

I agree, way better with the steel slots.

He is going to put license on it and drive it on the street so this is what he likes. It will be on the road before spring.

An ebay find...

These look like Parnelli Jones wheels with some ancient cheaters...price is right!

Here's a real find...dual stripe Mickey Thompson cheaters.

I guess I'd better be watching that one............

Eh, I like the Keystones way better as those steel slots just never did it for me.

These are my Day 2 wheels and tires. 15x4 Cragars in the front and 15x8 in the rear. Moroso Drag Special up front and M&H Racemaster DOT approved street tires in the rear.

Kurt

Love it!

Nice setup and great stance Kurt!

Another set of Polyglas GT's I had on my 69 RA III/4spd.

Thanks.....when I was a kid growing up.....all the cool/fast cars had Cragars S/S with wide tires in the back and skinny/narrow tires up front. :headbang: :3gears:

Took this photo today while playing musical cars.

Yeah, that’s real nice!!!

----Cool Stance! Something to do with the camera, I'm sure, but the picture makes your Camaro look like its green metalflake........Bill S

real, real nizeee

Ok what are your tire sizes?

Not to side track the thread, but any chance you have a pic of the tow tabs so I can see where they fit into the frame. I'd also like to know who's they are?

Thanks in advance...

No camera trick... that's the rough paint. There's pockmarks in the old lacquer paint, giving it a metallic look from a distance.

Fronts are 15x4" rims on vintage Cooper E78-15, and rears are 15x8" rims on 28x10.5-15 Mickey Thompson's.

They are NMW tabs. I don't have a good picture, but they are held on with 3 bolts. 2 bolts to the bottom of the bumper and one bolt goes to the bumper brackets.

It looks FANTASTIC. great picture.

That's what I was hoping to hear...or rather, not hear. I was thinking of adding a set to my green car but with a rubber bumper that's definitely out of the question. Thanks

You'll have to improvise like how Joel did on the Mexican RG Camaro tabs.

Found this pair of Cragar G/T mags along with a pair of S/S mags. The S/S are apparently 14x8” and the G/T are supposed to be 14x9”. I wish they weren’t unilug, and I’m hoping they’ll clean up enough to look good (not too good) for my similarly weathered Monaco Orange SS.

How common are the G/T’s?

Here's another pair of cool wheels that came on a 1969 Firebird I recently purchased. Cooper Pro 60 L-60 14's on Cragar S/S wheels.

Tuff looking combo. Serious “meats”!

Hurst slicks out back and some 185-15 up front.

My M/T Challengers on XT’s ....

BIG

Nice set up BIG!!!!

Gotta love those Challengers. :Can-I-Have-It:

My vintage M&H street and strip tires
 

Sorry cant seem to make the photo larger ?

Those are some pretty tires you got there Mr. 4speed!!!!

Just put these on my Z yesterday.
Vintage 1969 Firestone chrome steel slots 15x4 & 15x6
Moroso Drag Special 7.10-15 up front
M&H Racemaster 8.55-15 out back

69L78

Love those old chrome slots. Wish guys would run them and chrome reverse more often.
