You would think Coker would have repro's for anything.

Currently, the correct tire is not avaialable. I can get you close in a Goodyear, but its not the correct one. Call me if you want to discuss options. My cell is 816-654-3400.

I'll have to go look but it is a redline produced for the Corvette I think.

For 1967, the Z28 option included Goodyear Power Cushion 7.35 x 15 redlines. I think this tire was unique to 67 Z's so the chance of a repop is slim. There are some originals out there, but they trade for big bucks.

I used the Goodyear Power Cushion 7.75 x 15 redline on my 67 and they look and fit great.

I know a friend of mine gave one of those tires to a tire guy that was going to make them. He said it would take a couple years to get it done. Its been almost that long. When I talk to him again I'll ask what the progress is if any

Was it a Goodyear? If so, I will talk to Kelsey. He has not mentioned it to me.

For education purposes, how many Z/28 optioned '67' s were built?
