1966 repo tires
I believe I understand the deductions in the judging manual, but if your car originally had blackwalls and you go to a white,red,or gold lines do you loose more points? Is this an acceptable service replacement upgrade? Were red lines available on a 66 ?

Re: 1966 repo tires
Your '66 would be judged as presented, with one of the available production tire choices, you would receive full credit, subject to how faithful they are compared to an original tire..
No, Redlines were not a regular production option in '66.

I don't think there is any way to tell if a '66 originally had black or whitewalls.
In '63 all base rayon cord blackwalls and optional nylon cord blackwalls got body color wheels, but I don't think this was the case in '66, and for '63 you just have to make sure your wheel color is correct for the installed tire sidewall treatment.

Re: 1966 repo tires
Another possible points issue to consider.
The goldlines required different front hinge bolts, and a different latch (lock) bolt. So there has to be consistency there as well.Comment

Good point Wayne, The spare tire hanger bolts were longer for the goldline tire and KO wheels. Not sure if the judges catch this.......Comment
