I will take 4 for AACA Car Shows. 4 more years and she's an antique
capable of Antique Automobile Club Shows....

AACA says 25 years for 'antique' status.

That's surprising, cuz I don't consider say a 1995 Mustang to be an antique at all.

But maybe that's because I am an antique.

I have a set of 100 mile take offs I'm saving. I had a Pantera once and to get a proper looking tire for originality you had to buy re-caps. Someone will want these if not me. Maybe double for beanbag chairs.

Did you swap out the stock seats?

I sold my originals with 10K miles and 10 years on them at a car show to a hotrodder. He was super excited to get them even though I told him they weren't the safest to use anymore and he may not find a tire shop that will mount them.

My take offs are still on BBS wheels all balanced too. I had tires on my 67 Mustang for 30 years before I changed them. They were a bit stiff and maybe not good for high speed any more but ran around town OK. Maybe garage storage keeps them better longer.
