That's the link to my post since I'm not sure how many of the vintage guys check it out. Since posting that, I've found a seller who has redlines for sale on E-bay but is there any way to get the engines that are missing or just blackwall tires? Or did they all come with redlines and the red has just worn off? Since I bought those this morning I've been shopping for more on E-bay and looking around on the internet. I think I might be addicted now :o

That's the person I found that was selling them :) Good to hear they're good quality. I'll have to get some of those.

Just remember, if you want to keep the cars as original as possible the redline tires were for '69 cars and all 1970 and beyond cars were blackwall. Even the 1969 castings that were produced in 1970 have blackwall tires (I have 2 in BP that way).

FYI

Thanks for the tip! I can't find any blackwall tires anywhere though. Anybody have any pointers? I'd go ask over at RLOL but after reading through some posts on here last night about that place, I don't know if I want to.
