Default Pictures of '70-'72 with Redline Tires?

I am considering putting redline tires on my '71...Anybody have pictures of such tires on Rally IIs, preferably with red PMD center caps? I think it would make my car look like a giant Hot Wheels car...but being a kid of the '70s, I'm OK with that

If you have any sales brochures from 1970, there are examples of the A-bodies with redlines there.

Not 100% sure, but I think after '70, they did not. Was just looking at my '70 brochure last night.

I do not have any '70 brochures. I think redline tires were standard on '68 GTOs, if not '69...I can think of a '71 convertible pic with whitewall tires but I'd rather have raised white letters than whitewalls. Thinking redline tires would look good with my dark green car and red center caps.

Great resource, thank you. Any performance-oriented '71 seems to have raised white letter tires, as specified in the catalog. Definitely saw red lines in the '68 and '69 catalogs, didn't find any in '70.

Kind of hard to see, but there are redlines on this green '70 GTO - Pretty Cool!

I like it. There are several pictures online of '68 and '69 Verdoro Green GTOs and Firebirds with redline tires, and they look excellent IMO. Redlines are crazy expensive too.

Redlines were discontinued after 1969, so if you see redlines on a 1970, it was an owner decision to add them. Promotional photos show a 1970 GTO with redlines (and a few other models), but these were pre-production cars.
