1971 Rod Shop Hemi Charger going to a new home approx 1979. A friend of mine in HS dad owned this car from 1979 to 2006 or so when it was sold to a collector in Florida.

This shot shows it leaving Bob Bond's Rod Shop who bought it from Columbus Ohio Rod Ship in 1972 or 1973 and going to my friends house.

I realize they are Daytons, but my contention is that they were put on when the car was new, as the original owner did not change them the first week of ownership, but I'll ask him again.

Kind of Cool because my 69 El Camino was sold at H&amp;H Chevrolet Omaha NE

Chuck Wright TireTown Rat 1971

[DW31S]

Okey Dokey here goes a few observations before work:
The '69 Chevelle could've had a tire change at the dealership before it ever left the dealership. We used to do it all the time. The finance manager would upsell tires and compare them to &quot;builder grade&quot; carpet. The take-offs would then be sold (or stolen) to employees, etc. As a kid, my cars ALWAYS had brand new take-offs and I went through them quickly. Heck, a teenage gearhead with an unlimited supply of free tires? What could be better?
The &quot;Charlie Jacobs&quot; Chevelle has been substantially modified as it looks to be a leaf spring rear suspension with an altered wheelbase.
The &quot;Tire Town Rat&quot; (I'm darn near positive, unless there were two) is the Yellow ZL-1 that was found and owned by Bill Porterfield. If my memory is working, that was a double COPO from Berger, and the #3 ZL-1.

The #3 ZL1 Camaro was never a race car. It remains unrestored and still has much of its original paint.
