Default Re: NOS tires

Did any muscle cars ever come with A 13 inch tire? What about the corvairs. The reason I ask is I found A set of NOS 13 inch tires with the stickers and tape still on them. I can't remember the size but it was the same type as my other sets only in 13 inch. I will check again if any one is interested in them.

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

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]
