This is an interesting piece. Ansen traction bars for Vega and other H-bodies. Wish I could find a set.

To be honest, I had those tires sold on ebay about a year ago for over $700. There were a few bidders at that level. After the auction I decided to send the buyer some close photos of the torn places on the bead from when they were de-mounted. I wanted to make sure he saw the worst of the worst before he sent his $$. He declined to buy them. Maybe he had second thoughts for other reasons???? Anyway, I'm convinced that with careful mounting with tubes there should be no problem. That's why I've decided to put them on wheels and do the mounting myself, and make sure they hold air and have no problems at all before selling them.
I realize that my choice of wheels might not be everyone's choice but I have an original ad by M/T that shows those slicks mounted on 1965 M/T Challenger mags (like I have on my '62), so I figure that's the way they should be. It all ties together as far as I'm concerned, but I've been wrong before........

I picked up these Tires Years ago-The guy had bought them new And they where Never mounted and where stored properly-He planned on mounting them on his 1968 Z28-Here is a pic of them after I took the wrapping off-I also bought Mint pair of Appliance headers that were for his 4 speed Z28-They are now on my SBC powered 1967 Firebird...Here are my new Finds-Thrush Patch-Thrush Belt buckle-pair of Thrush Emblems And the matching Silencer I needed to make a pair!

Tell the guy buying them that, that is what tubes are for! Don't think he wanted to anti-up for them Verne. JMO They are really nice slicks!

Fill the torn area with Rema Tire putty and grind/buff smooth. It is a two part vulcaninzing process and is incredibly tuff. Industrial supply houses sell it as well as farm equipment dealers.

I had a 4&quot; long cut/gouge on my farm tractor tire that was 3&quot; deep and it fixed it right up. Tractor is 6000 lbs and does plowing/brush hogging and snow plowing and it is still in place 4 years later.

Thanks for the lead whitetop. I was planning to look for something to fill the tears &amp; missing areas before I remounted them. I appreciate the suggestion very much.

PS: I work on a farm and have many supplier contacts so I shouldn't have any trouble finding it!

[mockingbird812]

That'll be a great look Verne!
