Comments about the car: Car has seen less than 6000 miles since 6/07, stored in heated basement winters since then and garaged in summer with occasional use. Bought for my wife to have after I left this world and as usual during our 42 years together, she was one step ahead of me.

Yes, it is a typo, they are 215's, will correct. Thanks, it is nice, and I will keep it if there is no interest, and let Rocket II go to another member whom it has been promised to if there is no interest for The Queen.

Actually closer to 27,000 miles, but rated as 60,000 mile tire and appear to be in good shape for the age.

A gorgeous car. Truly, one of the few un-molested, original ones out there. Best of luck with the sale, Dick! Hope you're doing well.

The car has been stored properly. They haven't been exposed to cold temps that can cause extra tire wear. There are muscle cars and other cars that were stored away at dealers, and 20,30, 40 years later, the original OEM tires still are not showing signs of "weathering" or aging. Conditions are more important than anything with Rubber. Same reason why rad hoses are fine on a 20 year old car with minimal mileage. They haven't been continually heat cycled.

Let's face it a person that spends that much cash for that car is not going to drive it any way. And if they did ,$800.00 for a new pair would not be out of the question. All considered it is a beautiful car. Good luck with the sale . I hope it goes to someone who appreciated how well you kept it. He is only 50 miles away from me . I ride up and down RT 22all the time on my motorcycles. We go right by on our way to Lake George in June. Wish I had some time or it was warmer . That' 2 nice cars in the general area.

Add discard old tires, tax,balance,mounting and $800. Is not enough
I guess. You can buy $115.00 tires and only cost you only. $500

Dick, sad to hear you put the queen up on the block. Its a bummer with the insurance rates for one person, plus your gender and age makes it even worse. They are only going to keep going up from here. My agent told me the leanest years of insurance rates are between the ages of 50-64. I know the queen has seen very little use and looks as good or better since the day you bought it. I remember when you stopped by my parents house back in June of 07 I believe right after I had bought my 96 polo. If I recall the only spec on the car was a slightly blemished steering wheel. Im sure any member would love to have it. Best of luck with the sale, hope you get what you want for it. Have you put it up on craigslist yet.

YoubeKool!
