    Re: My new (old) spare tire

    Lyle,

    I believe the green tint was gone by 1971. I would not expect to see it in 1972 or 73.

      Hope you will be wrong at the end of the day... I would so much love to run (good and safe) SR500's on my car - just as it was delivered with...

        Thanks
        Your one of the few including me that think that the tint was gone by 73.
        I took that hit on 73's so much I went to PO2's.

          Judging Guide calls for green tint, yet I've never seen it on an original '73!

            Lyle....

            That must be where your judges are getting the "green tint"? From the JG and not from a '73 Bowtie Car?

              Look at the picture of my '73 from the day of delivery. Doesn't look like any green tint on those Rally wheels!

                    Make sure you take the picture on the delivery day for show and tell if you get a deduction for ride heigth. It may not help but it would be fun to watch. I think your car today sits close to the same which is good.
                    I want to see that tire and rim in person as it is one of the best examples of a white stripe with no tub marks and very little missing paint and no rust. This being an early rim for a 73 (late 72 date) it could help clear up that green tint thing that I have not seen but often get a deduction for.
                    Pictures could lie but I see no green tint on that rim. I show my cars with PO-2's a brand new set. That makes the rim tint a no issue.

                    I have the original spare for my 70 with the green tint which is obvious in person. Unfortunately, pictures DO NOT show the tru color.
