Hopefully they invest in buying the original molds and not some half ass thing like they did with Pro Tracs

Actually Pro Trac did have a Street Pro bias ply. I'm thinking early 80''-82-83 era.
I am thinking Cokers Tire is correct but it was the 80's version, not 70's.

This seems to be the norm in the reproduction world.
Offer the very last design model,and advertise it as vintage.
