I have noted this a few times recently; time to nip it in the bud.
Firestone Sport Car 200 tires were used on Z/28s and a few COPOs for the entire model year. The October 1968 Motor Trend has a color photo of a Garnet Red Z/28 with Firestones. The one-owner Z/28-RS featured in the front of JM's '69 Camaro book was built with Firestones, on or about February 20, 1969. There are other vintage magazine photos of Z/28s with Firestones.
In the early '80s I checked out a survivor 79 B Yenko built 03B at SC-Reading; still had an original SC200 spare. Probably very rare on a COPO as few were built with COPO 9737.
