'69 Camaro RS, 350/4-sp, Interesting Colors

[scuncio]

The Richard Rawlings history means nothing to me, but the original Burnished Brown/Parchment VT combo has to be pretty rare. Overall the car looks pretty clean for being largely unrestored. Swapping these wheels for a set of TTOs would be a step forward.

Oh my god! Those wheels make me want to puke.

I simply don't know what possesses people to do things that absolutely kill the original style of what was already a perfectly crafted design. Wheels would be the first thing I would change, and the K-Mart floor mats would be next.

Needs original Rallys with pinstripe whitewalls.

Alt on wrong side. Engine out of a 68?

[Bill Pritchard]

Possibly even earlier than 68. Oil fill tube coming out of the intake manifold. ScotchLocks connecting the tail light wiring in the trunk. If that's an example of their workmanship I don't think I'd send anything of mine there.

Since someone mentioned wheels (and tires)...


Was out driving my 69 this weekend and developed a bad shimmy. Pretty sure I threw a wheel weight or I have a belt separating. Tires are old and probably need to be replaced anyway from a safety standpoint. But when I went hunting for a set of 14-inch white letter radials, I got a rude awakening. Very little available, especially in the size I want - 245-60R14. TA Radials were about the only thing I could find in that size, a few more options for 235's, but I like the way the 245's fill the fenders. Anyone know of any other options? Car gets driven regularly, so not really interested in going back to a reproduction bias.

yes it is very difficult to find a more performance sized lower profile tire in 14 inch these days. Even just a F70 ish size tire (215x70x14) are getting difficult to locate in a radial ...MAYBE Diamondback classics, but it may be a shaved BF Goodrich?
