Re: Old Street Scenes
 this shot is from my 1st "solo" visit to California (without parents) in 1974. We were visiting a friends brother stationed in Sacramento and bought the 63 Split window for $1800. It had all the day 2 stuff on it, black side pipes, WIDE Ansen sprints with corresponding wide bias plies and flares We did the coast Highway down to LA and traded the wide Sprints for a set of 5 63 knockoffs with Michelin radials that we found on a guy's 69 SS396 El Camino ... poor guy, the rear tires we traded him wouldn't fit under the rear wheel wells and his air shocks were not functioning ... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] That made the Corvette look stupid with the wide flares and skinny knock-offs, but we knew the value of original parts over day 2 stuff way back then ... the car DROVE way better with the OEM sized tires/wheels though
