"... with old Firestone Sport car 200 tire. You never see the restored Z's with these tires. Wonder why??? "

They don't reproduce these. Quite rare and desirable. Yours looks very nice! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

Sam,

Coker Tire sells these tires for $211 a tire.
I have tried to find someone running these but havent been able to. I would love to put these Sport Car 200's on all 4 corners. But maybe they do not drive as well as the Goodyears??? Not sure what the story is on them.

I know a guy that runs them on his 69 Z and loves them.

Randy Mitchell shows a Green Z/28 with Goodyear GT Radial OWL tires. I have a set on our '72 Lemans Sport. Any idea what factory cars used them. Possibly the '78 Pace car Corvettes? Kind of hijacking the original post.
If you start to take parts off a car, take too many pictures, documenting everything and label and bag all the parts. It's amazing how quickly you forget what went where. I've found that glass beading brackets at 80-90 psi doesn't mess up the original metal finish like sand blasting. It takes me a while but I like the results. The high pressure commercial sand blasters really mess up the original finish.
