67 style red lines??? Good luck, and I really mean good luck. There out there, but getting extremly scarce. There has been a guy that has had a ad in Hemmings looking for some, but dont know how he has done.

One thing that you need to find out is did it come with Firestones or Goodyears(there is a difference).

I personally have 4 and am still looking for 1 more. :D

Jim Thanks for the reply. I don't know which brand my car came with new. Is there away to tell? I was thinking of buying repro firestone wide ovals red lines from one of the advertisers in hemmings like Coker. Would this be correct? Whats your thoughts? Does anyone know what most people use on 67 Pace Cars

Due to the availability, or lack of, most people use the 68 style redlines.

What was on it originally, I have been told that it can be found on your build sheet(If your lucky enough to have one).

If your are really set on putting redlines on your car, you dont have to many choices as to where your going to get them at. Theres nothing wrong with the re-pops, its just that the actual redline is in the wrong position for a 67.

Would it be correct, no. The redline is in the wrong position. I think there an ok looking tire, its all thats made right now. And all the other pacers that I have seen have the 68 style on them. Ive never seen a set of 67 style on a car(yet, I havent mounted mine).
