Casey Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 I picked up these tires in a lot, and would like to know the original kit(s) they were included inside: #1 -- Firestone *500* (* = checkered flag) 8.00 x14, soild vinyl, O.D. = 1.107" #2 -- Goodyear Sports Car Special, 1.025" O.D. - Maybe vintage Monogram European car? The vinyl is slightly softer than normal, allowing for some 'squish': #3 -- Goodyear Sport Car Special, this one with (I'm assuming) it's original silver plastic wheel still present. Wheel has a long mounting stud, and a parts number of '17' molded onto the back face of the wheel, .968" O.D., slightly narrower than #2, too:
dodgefever Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 The Firestone 500s are found in the MPC '65 Corvette. They're probably in other MPC kits too, but I've only seen them in that one, and the Airfix rebox.
Mark Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 The Firestone 500 tires were in the AMT (produced by MPC) Car Craft Dream Rod also.
Don Sikora II Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 The Firestone 500s are in the MPC '64 Corvette too.
