Man, that thing even does wheelies with no tire. Theres a ton of comments for that photo including "blew the tires off" lol Still a nice car!!!

Re: Loosing a Tire During Launch!!!
 

Is that the front part of the Cal Tracks (in front of the rim) hitting the track?

Re: Loosing a Tire During Launch!!!
 

Not even close.

Joe ~ that's too funny!

Re: Loosing a Tire During Launch!!!
 

From Moparts.com from someone who said they knew Paul:

was a M/T radial slick that blew ....

he told me M/T took the tire and is shipping back to the factory to see why..or what happened...

the slick was almost new also...and M/T replaced both of them on the car..

Ouch! Nice car though - I like it!! 68 or 69? Marker lights are missing....

FYI, Loose is as in your shoe string is loose, lose is as in you lose a race (or a tire). So technically its Losing a tire during launch ;) But technically it did come loose from the rim :D

It is a 1968.
68 is the only year for Dart GTS to have horizontal stripe option.
It has rear marker lights by the way Angela. Little tiny round ones.
Front fenders must hae been replaced.

Ok - I can see the ones in the rear now that you point it out. Didn't know about the stripe option. We have a 68, two actually, one complete one (street car) and one carcuss (sp?) - should be a race car someday.
