Space Saver Tire

I've been looking for a space saver tire for a 68 Camaro/Firebird. I found this on eBay.

Does anybody have an inflatable space saver spare tire on their third gen? I thought they all had the doughnut type tire.

Re: Space Saver Tire

My 89 GTA had the black painted aluminum wheel and the 87 GTA had the bare aluminum wheel, both with collapsible spares.

I think the bare aluminum wheel doesn't fit the bigger brakes from 89+.

Both of mine are just sitting out in the shed, with tires but I wouldn't dare drive on a 21/23yr old tire!

Its the other way around. 87 had the aluminum spoke and 89 had the black solid aluminum. 89+ was to clear the rear PBR calipers.
