yep you are correct, E's were on 69's but Polyglass were later

Oops. Didn't even see the Polyglas. Just saw the size. Strike what I said about value. I was thinking they were wide tread GT.

What are the TIN codes, on the back of each tire. Based on the tread pattern, they are not for 69-72.

I don't think E70-15 polygas GTs came on any factory musclecars as standard or optional equipment. (stand to be corrected) E-60-15 is a desirable size for 440+6, 440-4, 383 and 340 Cudas, but that's not these - I've seen E60s go for 2k in the same condition as yours. I wouldn't take less than $1100 though - car-specific or not.

If you took your 69 Z down to the old Goodyear store for its first set of replacement tires in 71 or 72, this is probably what you would have gotten, assuming you were keeping the factory wheels.

Think those would've said WIDE TREAD on em if you did.

I will check.

I know that E70-15 Polyglas Blackwall were on '68 Shelby's.

In '69 the Shelby, Boss 302 and 429, and the Hurst/Olds were the first to have the GT designation. The GT designation was used for 60 series tires.

The first use of the RWL tire in an OEM application was the 68 1/2 Cobra Jet Mustang.
