Steve, here is the pic in question. I'm sorry it's of such poor quality but it's the best I can get. It was originally recorded on an older analog camcorder and then transferred to VHS, from there I recorded it onto my new digital camcorder, and then imported it onto my computer and converted into a jpeg. I'm sure there was some noticeable loss of quality in all that transfer. But after screwing around with if for half the morning, here's what you get.
Harrell Z11 It's safe to say that it's definitely not your car, although I have no idea where the pic was taken. The car has "Dick Harrell" lettered on the quarter, and something illegible on the front fender. I'm sure you could probably read it off of the original pic, but through all this crappy video it's anyone's guess. You can't read it off of the original recording either, I've tried several times. I do remember taping the pic and examining it with my own two eyes at the SCR3. Although they can't be seen the car DEFINITELY had small letter 1969 Firestone Wide Oval tires on it. Unlike the one on the front of your car in the pic missing the ralley cap, these tires have the Firestone and "WIDE OVAL" lettering in much smaller font, about the size of "Polyglas" or "Wide Tread" on a Goodyear. These tires were apparently discontinued sometime between 69-70 as I've never seen a vintage pic of a '69 with large lettered Wide Ovals nor a vintage pic of a 70 with small letters. I'd say that's a 1970 or newer Firestone on the front of your car. By the looks of the pic you posted showing the Goodyear rear tire, I would have to agree with Charley and the others who say they were F70x14 Goodyear Wide Treads. I do believe that Z11's also came with small lettered Firestone Wide Ovals too, but these aren't reproduced and are about as rare as hen's teeth. Not that F70x14 Wide Treads exactly grow on trees either but my guess is they'd be a bit easier to obtain than a set of small letter Firestones. Plus you've got an early original pic of your car wearing a Goodyear tire, and if it originally had Goodyears, you can bet they were Wide Tread F70x14s. Go with the Wide Treads IMO. Hope all of this helps.
