Picked these up today….just for nostalgia sake. Not perfect rims, but very nice, with the original tires. They have been in a temp controlled garage for 25+ years. No dry rot and all tires hold air great. Will make a great show set if the day comes that I have a low mileage car.

 

Very nice.

 

I still cant figure out why Goodyear cant / wont produce an exact repo of this tire today

 

Agreed, there is a market for them.

 

Very cool find indeed! Did you check the dates on all of them yet?
I am a nut for original stuff & tires are the icing on the cake of any classic car imo!
Certainly not for the driving experience, but thats not what a set like this is for.

Congrats, I'm very jealous

 

If you decide to part with them at some point, let me know. Looking for a set to put on my 88 wheels. I go through Ft. Wayne several times a year.

 

And Kelsey Tire KNOWS there is a market for them.

 

Nice score, BTW!

 

So a humble brag thread turns into yet another repro gatorback thread... Greeeeat...

 

Oh come on grumpy...........
