  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Beautiful car! But how old are those tires? Goodyear has not made Eagle ST's for a long time...

    So are you saying the car AND the tires are classics? :)

    Did you have the engine dynoed? If so how much torque did it make?

    XtinctElise 1969 Buick Skylark GS 455, 5-speed

    No, but it was built to exceed the stock torque which was only 510 ft/lbs IIRC.

    I had Eagle ST's on my 71 Stage 1. They were great tires for muscle cars. I was sorry Goodyear quit making them...
