Glen, I too would like to thank you for providing us guys these tires at a discount. I will post some pictures of my car(unless someone here beats me to it-right, Larry or Dave?!!!). Thanks again!
And . . . kudos to Glen for "sharing" this GP with a Pontiacker! Thanks, and I'll post a couple of pics when I get them mounted. It'll be nice just to get the 10 year old flat-spotted Eagle RH's off of my GTO! :beer
Hey Glen: Got some tires today, only three of the five G60's that I ordered. Just curious, wre two shipped separately for shipping price considerations or were a couple of them backordered? Thanks again. Can't wait to get them mounted and on my GTO! :laugh:
Tires Lloyd, When you order 5 they come in a bundle of 3 and a bundle of 2. You should get the other tires tomorrow. They must have gotten seperated. Let me know if you don't.
Payment Glen, I am Rusty Davenport's brother. Rusty was burnt in an accident Saturday, and is in the hospital. He is going to be ok, but he is out of commission for a while. He said he had purchased some tires from you and needs to pay for them. If you could please call me, I will get a check in the mail. Please ship the tires to: Hopkinsville Auto Paint 616 North Drive Hopkinsville, KY 42240 Attn: Rusty Davenport My number is 800-844-3994 (days) 270-881-2615 (Cell) 270-885-9500 (Home) Thank you, Greg Davenport greg@roederimpl.com
Hi Glen, We ordered 13 G-60-15's and we received 6 bundles of 2 tires and one single tire, all in one delivery. Tim
Hey Glen: I still haven't received the other pair of G60's as of this morning. Let's give it one more day, and I'll post again tomorrow if they still have not arrived. Thanks.
Tires Lloyd, I just checked on your other tires, they left Fort Worth terminal on Saturday You should get them today or tomorrow. Let me know if you don't.
Well . . . about 10 minutes before you replied to my message, the FedEx truck with the other pair of tires arrived, LOL! Thanks again, Glen.
Bob, I ordered 5 extra of the G-60-15's and may consider selling them. Just a thought if you would need them before another group purchase takes place. Tim tcarson@vcn.com
Tires Thanks for letting me know guys. The only person I haven't heard from is Engie Bauza. Hey Engie, did your tires arrive? Let me know. Rusty, Hope your road to recovery is a quick one. I emailed your brother back but haven't heard anything since. No hurry on the tire order, get well first and then we will worry about the tires later.
Glen, I just talked to Engie and he said he wanted to post that he got them last Thursday,but his computer isn't working right. I told Engie that I would let you know he received the tires. He says thanks.
Tires Lloyd, The GTO looks great. Thanks for sending the pics. How many 455HO GTO's were made in 1972?
Thanks for the compliments Glen. IIRC, a total of 588 1972 GTO's were built with the 455HO engine. Close to a 50/50 split between the M40 and M22 transmission. Only 290 of those were ordered with the little known "WW5" option package. The option package included the following items: 455HO Ram Air Unitized ignition system M40 or M22 (at the buyers discretion) Saf-T-Track differential (posi) Y99 suspension (1 1/8" front and rear sway bars, 15" wheels w/ G60's, HD springs and shocks) Power disc brakes Gauges and in-dash tach Formula steering wheel Body colored mirrors (except on the post sedans because they would restrict the vent glass from opening fully) And . . . some other minor trim upgrades. Other than the WW5 package, my car has few options. AM radio, A/C, Honeycomb wheels, and a few additional trim items. FYI, my car has the ORIGINAL spare tire in the trunk, and it's a Firestone G60x15 wide oval. Unfortunately, I don't have the build sheet for my car, but here's one from another 1972 WW5 GTO. As you can see, it's LOADED!
