Ah yes, those were the days.  Might as well add my own '76 Camaro for the day. Looking at it now, I think I overdone it a bit, but I had lots of fun in it.  14" on the front, 15" rear.

Compared to some of these other cars, yours was mild.

Thanks for adding.

Ouch! Think this 'Cuda survived any better than the one it replaced? No wonder there's so few of them left. Teenagers were ruthless.

Check this one out  - that's a Shelby! Doubtful it's a clone, just a used car.

Nothing like a few beers, som hand tools and a little "backyard butchering" to improve a car.

This shot would sell Challengers as well as Dodge's ad agency could!

Fat rims and tyres must have been cheap back then!

They were very common.

Maybe not cheap, but a must have item for any true performance aficionado!

Probably no different from the thousands of dollars drivers spend on wheels and tires today.
