Default Pics please, Marlboro Maroon with red line tires

A couple of months ago, I asked about running black walls vs T/A's with the white letters out. I had several suggestions about running a red line tire and learned they are available in the sizes I want.

Would like to see how red lines look on a Marlboro Maroon car.

Thanks.

Here's our 67 MM with redlines. It looks great in person. I would highly recommend it. It's currently on display at NCM.

Very nice Just saw your car at the Museum on our way back from Florida. I think I would miss having it in my garage. Also saw Mike's Motorama car.

Thank you

We do miss it. That particular car is a lot of fun to drive.

Mike's got some incredible cars. I havent seen that one in person. Hopefully we can make a trip this year to NCM.

Thanks. I like the red lines with Marlboro Maroon.

I wish I hadn't bought new 255/60-15 T/A's last spring before taking the car to the restoration shop. Anyone interested in buying them at a discount??

255s are too big for a C2 with stock fenders, but it's a stock size for the later C3s. Post them over in the C3 parts forum and I'm sure someone will want them.

Just wondering what brand of tires you have - they look like bias ply - and how you like them?

They are the BF Goodrich Silvertown. Here's a link...

I like them. We have another 67 with the Firestone redlines and I like these better. I think they ride better... Plus I like the look better.

Thanks

Rick,
Thanks for the compliment. We love the car, and are very proud of how well she's done at all the judging levels and at different events. Original owner still lives in the same house that's listed on the POP...He still works...Great guy to talk with...Just cool....
Thanks again. The pic is form the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals where it got the Triple Diamond. There were so many unreal cars at that show, you didn't know where to walk first. Fantastic time. Regards. ARA
