Cool piece. You should contact the folks at Coker Tire and see if they'd consider making reproductions of those, Being a correct tire for 69 SS Camaro and Chevelle I know there would be a market for them. It looks like you have a perfect NOS tire they could use as a guide for what to shoot for. Just a thought...

Did it come from the NorthWest?

Congratulations - Nice discovery. How do you decipher that date code?

Re: NOS 1969 Firestone Wide Oval RWL F70-14
 

Very cool find Jeff https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif Here are some pics of a pair that I have....Kenny, I told you about these in York...Different letters....unless it is because the "white" is missing.. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif.. These are still on the old American TT rims.Can anyone date them? Are they the same?

Last one...Tires are very nice with the exception of the "white" in the letters.I bought them for the rims and figured the tires were great for a couple of spares.. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

I'm making progress!! The same guy I got the NOS one from found another near new one that was mounted as a roller tire on a 69 Chevelle in the back of his shop... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Jeff.Take a good look at the letters in my pics... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/crazy.gif..Hardly a tire I would use on a car.Spare maybe...But it's gonna get spotted as soon as someone pulls it from the trunk.Theres got to be better ones out there.....If not let me know.. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif
