Mike, The fronts are 6.70/15 inch Firestone Tires. You can get them through Coker. The rears, I am almost certain, are the reproduction M&H cheater slicks.

Thank you very much, that is the look I am after. I just wasn't sure if they were 6.40 or 6.70s on the front. I appreciate your help.

Gorgeous job. I love Day 2 stuff and you nailed it. I am a 2nd gen Camaro guy and never knew that 1st gens had gray primer on the underside that wasn't always covered by the b!ackout. I learn something new every day. I seem to remember that some cars( don't remember what year) would get gray primer from the belt line down to serve as material for the paint shop to sand out any blemishes. Is that true?

BTW,as much as I love your car,if it were mine it would have Ansen Sprints on it.

Browncopo. Awesome to hear and see the history of this car. I have been into 2nd gen Camaros all my life so I would be just as happy with an equally well restored 74 Z with day two mods,especially if it were a factory no spoiler car!!!

I just reread every post on this awesome COPO..As someone who did the day two on a HO 69 Z28 with a flat hood, a Black 69 Z28 and a FG L78 70 Nova I do not know if my cars were that nice when they were new! Great job!

I think your car is a good example of a decent running COPO that is raced. I understand stock exhaust manifolds do have there place in the COPO world, but how cool is it to take a some what period correct COPO and race it wheels up, you must really enjoy the time you spend at the track. I'am very aware of what goes on at the Super Car Reunion.
