Default Re: 1973 SD Trans Am with 1774 miles

Go figure!! I was looking at the spare. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/haha.gif[/img] Right now, that tire is not being reproduced. More stuff you don't really care to know, but I will share with you anyway, in 1972 Polysteel Belted tires were on the H/O, but so many had belts slip (and this was not even a radial). A friend of mine had radials come on his 1968 Cutlass W-31. Within a few weeks, there was a recall for the radials and he got his first Polyglas. Belt slippage was a huge deal for new designs back in the day. Anytime you have a car which had tires that pushed the envelope, the likelihood of still having the original tires (as evidence of this car) is slim to none.

In any event, this car is the stuff of dreams!!!!!! I want to somehow go out to the land of fruit and nuts and be like Charlie!!!!!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/CharleySucks.gif[/img] (not)
