I love the classic "old school" look... I was out cruising today, and I had about 15 people stop and talk to me, follow me or whatever lol... I know its nice, but i didnt think it was THAT nice... Im happy, some young kid about 6 or so, wanted his picture taken beside the car, so I let him, he was happy, said he wants one just like it one day lol... I remember when I was saying that...

I like it, around our area you do not see many 2nd gens around any more, I am tempted to put ours back on the road... or buy another one thatwould be easier. I am curious of one thing do those tires actually have a tread width of 15"? I have 10.5" wide slicks on mine and its getting close much wider and we will be tubbing it out.

Tread on the pavement is just under 15 inches, There is wheel spacers on here, so it works better than tubbing it out...

Your 10.5's are probably a much taller tire too, so with that you cant really go much wider becuse then you'd be hitting your fender with the outside of your tires.. These tires are only a 50 series, so there is not too much sidewall...

What brand tire are you running in the back? I have the same sizeon my 69 as you have. Mine are Firestone Firehawk's, but have 10" tread on the pavement. I'm curious as to the big difference. I know there are slight differences in dimensions betweendifferent tire manufacturers, but 5"??

I dont know how you have 10 inches, 295 is not a 10 inch tire... I have 265 on my GTP and they are more than 10 inches wide.... Mine are bridgestone
