Vette(s): 74 coupe 4 speed 350, 54K actual miles, all original; paint, interior, engine, split bumper. #'s match. 2nd owner, no stress cracks.
Speaking of old tires, I got a good story for you... what about 1980 tires.
 Yes, almost 30 years old tires.
These tires are the originals and the car only has 380 documented miles on it/ them.  No its not a vette.  Wish it was.  4 ply belted nylon and are 5.50 x 18.  Tires Look like new, no checking, no cracks, soft and supple to the touch.  Car has been stored inside and never in sun.

Yea, I know.... gotta get new tires.
What a crying shameCry, but better safe than sorry.

Car is my 1980 Ford Shay Model A
