Vette(s): 74 coupe 4 speed 350, 54K actual miles, all original; paint, interior, engine, split bumper. #'s match. 2nd owner, no stress cracks.

I was watching the Barrett Jackson auction this weekend on TV and noticed red line tires on the older C3's. My question is what year was the last year if any, for red line tires to come on a C3?? Was it standard or an option? Thanks....steve Shocked

Vette(s): 1972 conv., sunfire yellow, blk interior, blk vinyl and convertible top. Off frame restoration with American Speed 383 stroker engine producing 500hp plus a 200hp NOS system. MSD ignition. Hooker super competition headers with chambered exhaust.

I think 1969 was the last year that the red line tires were available as an option. They never came standard.

I agree...'69 was the last year for the option from the factory. Lots of folks added them even later.

Thanks everyone, that pretty much agrees with what I saw on TV. Guess that rules out red lines on my 74........ Cry
