    Brett, are those Cragars? Can still buy new ones. My old 14x10’s were Fenton Super Sharks.

    They are. Or were. Haha

    I think these were "G/T" or "S/T". I'd have to ask.

    Pat,
    That's what the Motion car had and I got a set with the car. Good luck with your bidding.

    Maybe it’s a “Any Day-Resto-Survivor-Noncourse-Outlaw-Street/Strip-Drag-Cruiser-Mod”?
    Oh man, I can’t tell you how many times I had to weld my Lakewood ladder bars up as the BUICK torque had no mercy on them when I ran those in the 90’s

    And there’s two cars’ worth! Of course the fronts on each would have to be a smaller white letter tire, from a different company, maybe even different wheels.

    Pat,
    I remember having L60's on the back of my 67 Mustang convertible. (Also my first car.) I had it jacked up with air shocks and the tires barely fit under the outside edge of the wheel lip. Boy did that car ride harsh, but I didn't care. I also remember melting my "air lines" a few times on my exhaust. When that happened the body settled on the tires and you couldn't go anywhere until it was fixed.

    I lived down the shore in the summers and always had a Blond in the car all summer long.
    Ah to be young again.

    I had a Hijacker air pump in my trunk and a gauge inside the car so I could raise and lower the car when the police arrived...lolYou are right,those bias ply tires rode like hell hut the coolness factor was worth it. I had pulled the way underpowered 260 Olds motor from the car and installed a built SBC 400 in it with a set of headers and true dual exhaust.I upgraded to 2/14 inch pipes. First drag racing experience,I blew the mid 3 series posi at Beaver Springs. We towed it home behind my dad's truck with a tow bar...lol Lot's of explaining had to be done that day.

    I had L60's on the back of my '69 SS396 Chevelle. It was jacked up with spring spacers, the kind you "screw" in with a rachet. But my tires were Hercules Honcho's...

    Retro-looking tachs are now available from Bosch. They are reproducing two styles of the old Sun tachometers! And luckily they don't say "Bosch" on the face. $115.99 from Summit.

    1972Mach1 Just some M.M.O.G. guy.....

    You can still get Sun Supertachs as well. I've got one of the new versions in my F100 and a Mooneyes red metalflake steering wheel.

    I think Sun discontinued those. Last time I looked everybody was "out of stock" on them.

    I just tried to find them to post a link and I believe you are correct. Happy I got mine 3 years ago when I did!

    I've definitely got a car problem. This is my current stable at home. 66 Buick Special, 69 Dart GTS(clone) and my 70 Camaro. Yes, it's an addiction since I was a kid!
