NOS tires

[MotownMadman]

Kevin, I just closed a deal on a long closed auto repair and tire shop which has not been open since the seventies when the owner died. His kid is currently filing bankruptcy and their attorney is my partner. Apparently all the stock that was in the place when it closed around 1971 is still there, in talking with the former owners son on the phone he indicated to me that there are almost a hundred sets of tires in the left over stock that are biasd ply, he said many are the single or double redline, others are lettered. Also included are well over a hundred sets on original shocks from GM, Ford, and Mopar still in original boxes, also a lot of mufflers, hoses, belts, and racks of other auto parts that have all been collecting dust from the late sixties/early seventies. I am going this weekend to start doing inventory and packing to move, if you need some correct NOS tires etc.etc., let me know in detail what you are looking for and I will put you on a list with your needs. Anybody else same thing. It sounds as if I have unearthed a treasure trove of stuff, it works well having a bankruptcy attorney as a friend and partner who is into classic vehicles, he has been paid for his services with everything from complete cars down to 12 bolt Camaro rearends and Rosewood steering wheels. Sounds like we stumbled on a good one this time. If interested let me know, as I get a list together I will post here what I am going to have available. Would the tires be any good after all these years? Maybe for show but not safe to run?
Thanks,
Motown

Look for a set of 5 tires for me:

Goodyear PowerCushion 7.35x15" redline

[JoeC]

I can use F70x15 Goodyear Wide Track GT

[Jeff Murphy]

I'm after 5 F70-14 Firestone RWL tires for a 69. Probably Wide Ovals (not the 70+ versions that are being repro'd with the big O) or Sportscar 200 (if they came in that size).

Good luck with the inventory, sounds like a big project. Keep us posted... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

To everyone who sent me PM's or Emails on the tires and shocks, I have not forgot about any of you, I am currently working in the building with shocks and other parts, I hope to be getting to the tires later this week. Those who had contacted me first with specific reqirements will have first shot. Following is a partial list of factory eqipment shocks:
(2) 74-78 Mustang, front
(2) 71-80 Pinto front
(2) 59 Edsel,rear
(2) 65-73 Mustang, rear
(2) 75-80 Pacer, rear
(4) 77-79 Charger, rear
(4) 74 Fury, front
(2) 68-72 Apollo-Skylark-Nova, rear
(2) 68-72 Malibu, Rear
(4) 70-74 Monte Carlo, rear
(2) 67-74 T-Bird rear
(2) 72-79 Fairlane rear
(4) 63-82 Corvette front
(12) 64-70 GM rear
(8) 67-69 Camaro rear

There is way more than that, I only wrote down what someone else had wrote on the Boxes, they do have part numbers, I am sure many are interchangeable. I did not open the boxes to check for date codes. I am overwhelmed with all the stuff I have to load and bring home, I have not even went into the tire/muffler building yet except to look through the window. The boxes the shocks are in(plus all kinds of other parts, alternators, regulators, etc, etc,) are all marked either GM, Mopar, Or Ford/Motocraft. Just give me some time to find the time guys, those who contacted me I will get back with you one way or another.
Thanks,
