Those 15x4 cragars in the front are worth more than that today. What s in the back cheater slicks?

For a short while I used 15x4 Rockets on the front of the GTO. They had skinny 5.60 x15 tires on them, the same as used on the VW Beetle. Totally useless on wet pavement, they would barely hook on dry pavement for a left or right turn. I took them off after a couple weeks.

Mickey Thompson’s on the back Moroso drag lites up front. The slicks were mounted on Rocket wheels.

Turbo69bird, guess who ended up with the Trans Am...

$400? AMAZING!!! I would think everyone is envious of your great buy in 76.

Just saw a set of those rocket wheels 15x4 for sale a week ago pretty cheap too.

I can almost smell that gas looking at those old pics. Quite different from that slightly rotten egg smell that the unleaded has.

The National Auto and Truck Museum restored one of the Futurliner some years ago. They have some general information at this link: https://natmus.org/fl-restoration If you want to read in more depth and see progress pictures of their work, go to https://futurliner.org and follow the links there under Restoration Project.

Looks like Don’s keeping abreast of the situation!

You can tell by his expression that ol' "Rockford" is serious about anything with wheels.

Thanks for the pics. Liked the tree transport. Don has things in control,twin McCullochs. Looks like Alfred Hitchcock in first. Jim Garner liked him in movies.
