Does anyone of you know that are those blue streaks that were used in 65-66 barracuda formula s still available (size 6.95" *14") in any place?

I'm afraid they're long gone and unlike like red line tires, didn't come on enough cars to be popular enough for the classic tire makers. The tire always got good comments in the Formulas S road tests. It was a shallow angle bias tire, somthing between a standard bias tire and radials which had not made much of an impact in the US market at the time except for a few Michelin sports car tires. Does anybody know if they were offered on 65-66 Dart GTs too when the HD suspension was ordered? Now if they had come on Mustangs they would be everywhere today.

We have a club member at EarlyValiant/EarlyCuda who runs something that closely approximates Goodyear Blue Streak Blue Lines; he actually commissioned someone to "build" them... cut in the grooves and laid in blue rubber. He says he gets a lot of smart-ass comments when at shows, from people who wonder if he forgot to wash the brand new white walls. :lol:

PS. Feel free to check out Clif's car in the Members section at http://www.earlycuda.org. Although I'm sorry we don't specifically have a photo showing the "blue streak" tires... :roll:
