I've had several inquires about the wheels and tires. As I had previously posted they are the original Torque Thrusts that were on the car when it left LI in Sept 1970- 14x6s in front and 15x8.5s in the rear. The original order invoice shows "Special INDY tires $200.00". The original photos of the car new show red line tires with the above mentioned wheels. I believe the rears are L70s. To replicate as close to original as possible, I had Diamondback Classics custom fabricate them on bias ply L60x15s rear and F70x14s front. Bill Chapman at DB Classics only wanted to build them on a radial type tire but I wanted an original look. After some trial and error (some tires sacraficed) they came out great. They are great folks to work with. Bill informed me they will hold up just fine during a burnout and they are truly very close to what came on the car.
