The nice weather is coming and hopefully it will be safe to put the shelter in place and Covid behind us very soon. Thoughts and prayers for those affected by this situation we have all been going through.

Soon it will be time to get the cars out and enjoy the drive.

6S289 on a beautiful day...

Be safe and God bless you all.

Well, celebrating another year - a birthday in the climate of shelter-in-place. But I received a great gift from my family - the very cool, authentic re-creation 1965 Shelby American Team Jacket - as seen below with 6S289.
Now, I better get 6S289 put away before the Governor finds out.

I am not sure what those tires are though I remember after this time, we had Goodyear Polyglass most of the time.

Very neat thread and stories, thanks for posting 

Are those gold line (stripe) tires ? B.F. Goodrich had some,  and I think ? some other manufacturers. The image is

of reproductions made now. I remember them on mid '60s Corvettes back in the day.

i think good year blue streaks had a blue line. dodge also used blue streaks.

There were blue streaks made and installed on Shelby's and Barracuda S's. Barracuda's got the blue side walls - in the thin depression molded in the side wall where ones used on Shelby's were just black like the rest of the side wall.

There were other versions including one with a thin white sidewall stripe and a wider green stripe used on other cars - possibly Corvettes during the same time frame

Father's Day was a great day to take 6S289 out for a drive. It is always enjoyable. Especially when the roads are fairly empty.
