Correction, the tires that the original owner left the dealership on in June of 1969 say "Goodyear wide tread GT" and have NO size on them so they would be correct for the car in 1969 at least according to the Mustang guys.

This I believe. Goodyear Wide Treads are not polyglas tires. BTW, the original size on a Camaro would have been E70-15, not F70-15. A Yenko Chevelle would have had F70-15 Wide Treads, so there IS the chance they could have been swapped from a Chevelle.

Based on photo's I just received as well as recent conversations the original owner left the dealership with Goodyear wide tread GTs which were swapped from another Yenko and quite possibly a Chevelle? The original owner only recalls tires coming from another Yenko not whether it was a Camaro or Chevelle? I don't know the size or date code off the tires yet or whether they are polyglass or not?

Dave just found the tires last night almost immediately after he first learned he had them. He wasn't told until last night the extra wheels and tires that came with the car when he bought it were the originals from new. I will go pick them up as soon as possible. Dave also has the remainder of the paperwork with the car. The paper work accumulated over the years with this car is voluminous and was in two different locations when I went to pick up the car so I didn't get them at that time. So everything will be reunited with the car shortly.

Dave was at all times very respectful of the cars history and worked like a dog to keep track of everything and it was very important to him to ensure everything went along with the car. He approaches the ownership of his muscle cars like he is a curator of A museum and is very mindful of their historical significance. Classy guy and I would buy another car from him in a second and hope to own some more of his Chevy's after the May auction in Indy. He didn't know he had the original tires when he sold me the car and he could have asked me to pay for them now but instead just wants me to have them so they are with the car. VERY CLASSY WAY TO TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS.
