Re: Space Saver Tire Option - early 69 camaro
The base of the jack sounds about right.
It definitely was not for a Camaro though. Just found the tire. It is a G78-15. Way too tall for a Camaro. Maybe full size Buick or even Cad. I have no idea. When i dismounted it in the late 70's, I am pretty sure it was because the bolt pattern did not match my Camaro, but I believe it was a GM. I would have been working at a Buick dealer at the time.
But as for the color of the wheel, definitely a semi gloss (more gloss than flat) gray about the same color as a jack base. IIRC, it also had a yellow sticker with black lettering with some instructions.
The space saver spare was not available on any of the 15 inch wheel 69 Camaro (i.e. Z or Copo with sports car conversion).
I plan to list the tire for free (plus actual shipping) on the PIFC forum.
