Love the frost green!

As an aside, I wish Goodyear still sold those early Eagle ST tires with the small letters and &quot;eagle&quot; on them. Probably the best looking white letter radial for these muscle cars (for guys that don't want bias-ply).

I agree on the tires. I checked the dates on these and they are dated 1984, no dry rot and great tread. Althought incorrect I have decided to leave these on the car.

I would change those tires if you are going to drive the car at all. I helped judge a 74 Corvette with super low miles at an NCRS event in the 90's. The original Good Years looked perfect during judging, but the left rear blew during the performance verification. Busted up the inner and outer quarter and did a number on the paint. I have NOS Good Years on my '65 FLH, but it is a show only bike for now. Be carefull with such a beautiful car!

Thanks Mark, I won't be driving it at all, not because I don't want to, but I can't due to a genetic visual defect; selling my stuff, too much temptation! I do like the looks of the Goodyears! If it's sold the new owner can change them.
