I have a 72 chevelle street car I used to run. It had a bench seat and a small block and all the factory steel it was around 3700 lbs I think.

The Chevelle I am speaking of is in the back ground of my sig pic, it is red. The tires on it were 275 60 15 M$ H Race masters I believe they are 28" tall. I thought I needed more geare in it. It had a 4.10 gear and wasn't bad at all around town...ran around 3300 at 55 mph.

The tires that barely fit on the Nova are 32 x 14 stiff sidewall goodyears on a 14" rim. They were way overinflated when I took that pic cause they didn't want to pop out on the bead....junk rims in my opinion.
