What are people using for 7.75x14" Blue Streak (blue sidewall) replacement tires?
I see they offer 6.75 Blue Streaks with blue side wall and raised white letters (GT 350 tire). But cant find 7.75x14" blue side wall only's.
Is there something that is close?

Diamondback has a blue line radial Yea. That’s what I’m seeing. Bummer. I was considering a blackwall or whitewall 7.75x14 Goodyear. Then having the blue line added. There used to be a local dude that did this. But I can’t even frind 7.75x14” any Goodyears.

You can do it too, just head over to the local hobby or craft store and pick up an assortment of blue permanent markers. You'll be amazed at the results. I had a Goodyear white (line) with the same width sidewall "line" as a red line and made it into a perfect spare red line tire for the '68 RR. Find a bad white wall junk tire to practice on to get the color right and save lots and lots of $$$$. This used to be a white-line tire.

Problem is, I can't find a 7.75x14 Goodyear bias ply to start with. And then to add a blue line to. I would consider something wider than 7.75 in a Goodyear. But must be 14"

Just weird detail shots on this phone. 68k miles. 1981 Hot Rod “Supercar Shootout” article said 60K miles. The red-ish hue you see in the fender well is factory primer. Not rust Working on fine cleaning the little corners and such. Q-tip, small soft bristle, ultra low aggressive stuff.

Yup,, Nobu's was well known back in the day. In the Valley, Jennings' place was popular - the son did my 1st Road Runner. He told me that on his post-dyno test drive, he annihilated a Camaro

Looks super great, can’t wait to get my 66 that close to driving around to shows. Survivor Hemi car. Original paint and interior. Front bumper rechromed. Rest of original brightwork is extremely nice. SoCal car. Always garaged and extremely well cared for. Might recognize it from print back in the day. This book was published in 1989
