ProStreetOnTheStrip Posted August 21, 2016 Posted August 21, 2016 ill say it right now, not sure where to post it but it's related to models I am fixing up a built up 49 merc, but it's missing a wheel and tire, but the tires are very strange... one side says Goodyear blue streak. the other says M&H Racemaster... the tread feels like what a record feels like. plus I don't know what wheels they are...anyone know
Snake45 Posted August 21, 2016 Posted August 21, 2016 I believe those came in AMT kits starting about 1969 or so. Dunno when they disappeared. They're VERY nice slicks and I wish they were available again. I'm hoarding a couple sets for some "special" builds in the future.
pack rat Posted August 21, 2016 Posted August 21, 2016 Don't know about the wheels, but the slicks were found in a few AMT kits in the 1969-70 era. As soon as you mentioned the record-like tread I knew the ones you're referring too. The only kits that I'm 100% certain contain those slicks are the '69 Camaro annual/Indy pace car and the "ACellerator" Corvette. I think the original Allison Thunderland kit had them too.
ProStreetOnTheStrip Posted August 21, 2016 Author Posted August 21, 2016 Here's a picture of the car. As built by last owner, I'm guessing sometime in the 70's?? Nothing anything close to modern on the car it has a 440 and a Dana as installed sounds like I'm gonna have to find something just similar to the tire, dug through all my parts bins, I think it's gone for good
