MCfan Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 This is probably a long shot … but you never know. I am ready to get rid of the original spare tire and wheel that came with my ’70 402 4-speed car. On the Build Sheet it was RPO PU8 G78x15 Dual Stripe White Wall on a 15x6 black steel wheel. It was definitely used at one time. Tread wear is even and remaining tread depth is .20”. It has retained air pressure after all these years and the wheel is in good shape, also, but I’m sure it has little to no functional use as the rubber is far too old to trust on the road. Before I throw it out, I was wondering if anyone had any interest in it for display or other sentimental purpose? Or maybe someone might want it for the original 15x6 steel wheel? I would be happy to gift it to any FGMCC dues-paying member that wants to pick it up in SW FL or pay shipping. The combo weighs 47.5 pounds. I have more detailed photos if needed. Shoot me a PM if you are interested or have questions. Thanks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stangeba Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Cool! I also still have my original spare tire and wheel. It's only 52 years old, what could possibly go wrong with it? 🤣 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montemedic Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I have a double whitewall spare in the trunk of my Monte too. I use it for display purposes only at car shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a store in albany ny when I was a kid where you order from catalog and pick up right there on a loading dock we used to go there a lot.

I am interested No, Kevin, I'll be at my summer home in MN by then but if anyone is going from SW FL, I might be able to get it to them if they have room to bring it to you. If not, I could check into shipping options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
