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

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?
