New Boots for my '68

[bill440rt]

I don't get to post too many pictures of my '68.
Normally it rides on 15" Centerline Convo Pro's. I used to have a spare set of 14" Magnums with bias redlines, but since a front disc brake conversion the 14"s wouldn't fit anymore. Gave me a good excuse now to get some redline radials, the old bias tires were really horrible to drive on.
Picked up the wheels under the very last of the Specialty group buy (15x7's), finally was able to get some redlines thru Diamondback Classics. They're based on a set of Coopers, 255/60/15's all around.
I'm liking them, it's a nice change of pace.

Nice!, sharp looking 68. 

[chargerboy69]

I did not even know you had a 68.  The Magnums look good. . but the Convos.

Thanks!  
I like them, too. Like a breath of fresh air. The car hasn't rolled on redlines in quite some time. Took a short trip around town, they are really nice riding tires, too.

THAT looks like a proper '68!

Thanks for the tip on the 255's.  
Might need an extra driver for that tri-fecta shot, Chris.

  Thanks! I'm thinking maybe I should be posting more pics then? 

I've owned this car since 1986, it was my first car and first father/son restoration. Lots of sentimental value.
Started life as a triple-green 318/auto, bought from the original owner. It's bare bones as far as options are concerned, really only power steering and the light package. At time I wanted a red Charger, so we decided to go with PP1 Scorch Red. It's still the same paint from '87.
About 12 years or so ago is when I decided on the big block swap, upgraded the suspension/drivetrain, re-did the seats and headliner, and other little things. Also added the R/T badging. I kept the original engine & trans & other parts "just in case".
To this day we still exchange Christmas cards with the original owner, they referred to it as their "Baby".

(Chris, I might need that help with the tri-fecta pic!    )

Gorgeous.  It's hard to beat a set of nice redlines and Magnum 500's, that looks awesome.  Some aftermarket wheels are decent too, but man those look good.
