I had those Hollywood deep tone mufflers(not glasspacks) on a 71 Z back in the early to mid 80's they sounded so cool.Does anyone have a set they want to sell???

Mine are the oval type. This is a few weeks ago having the header flanges welded to the pipes. I guess I ought to make a note to finish the job on my brake lines... Out of sight out of mind....

I am looking to put crager S/S on my 69 camaro. The quarters and wheel house are not cut, so what size of rear wheel with what offset does everyone normally run? What looks better also, 14" or 15".

[/ QUOTE ]Check Ebay. A guy named Greg from Canada has them once and a while along with some NOS Thrush mufflers too for sale.

That car looks similar to this one! The guy that owns this live in New Glarus, WI. I took this at the Wings and Wheelz show in Janesville.

June 05 feature.

Looks like 14" up front and 15" out back?

I've got a set of 15x6" Cragar wheels dated in late 1969 that I plan to run on my 65 Malibu SS, Plowman's 67 Nova, Eileen's 69 Camaro and Monica's 69 Nova.

You can get 7" wheels to fit out back, but it will be tight. and searching for the right offset can be a challenge. What size tire do you want to run?

I would like to run the biggest tire I can. If I remember correctly the car has 285 60 drag radials on a 8" wheel. I was thinking that a 14" wheel will made the tire look bigger b/c of the increase in sidewall. Just a thought.

Might want to start a new thread about Cragar SS wheels on a 69 Camaro. One of the most popular 8" wide Cragar SS wheels that is Camaro friendly has a 4.5" backspace.

I would only consider L60's these days, but I'm not sure what other people have done to fit that size or other radial sized on a 69 Camaro.

Things get more complicated if you want the original Cragars from back-in-the-day. Easier if you would accpet the modern offering, as they will build custom offsets. You will have to accept the different spoke shape, unilugs or modern acorn lug pockets and a center cap with dark blue and a little "R" for registered trade mark. Not as cool as the old ones, but if a big radial tire fitment is #1 priority then this is hardley a compromise.

I don't want to run the drag radials anymore. I am thinking of M&H Racemasters or the L60s. I want a bias ply tire.
