Original 1968 Z/28 spare tire?
 
Trying to confirm that this is an original spare on my 68 Z
I think its March 1968 date code? Car is 04A LOS. Original owner painted all the wheels Fathom Blue at some point, but tire looks like it was never off the rim or on the car, still has nubs.

Date code
 
I also decode the date to be March of 68. But, I can’t speak to whether it is original to your car.

Thanks,
Marty

There are numerous examples of early Zs that came with body colored rally wheels from the factory. They were not all painted silver only.

I have a 69 Z that had the original spare seperated from the car several years ago on ebay. Before I owned the car. I would do about anything to have that spare back in the car. Tire looked like it had never been on the road. I would never put it on and it would be like candy for the trunk to me. I do know where the spare went but will never get a chance to put it back in the car

This is an early 68 (Nov 67 build) wheel off of an RS Z which I believe was the original spare. Norwood car, large "DF" stamp.

I would paint your other wheels Fathom Blue as that is probably how the car came. Cool !
