    1969 Red Stripe/White Lettered Tire Availability

    I am trying to determine when red stripe tires were last available and white lettered tires were first available in 1969 for the Corvette. I have original GM ordering information that indicates red stripe tires were no longer available as a RPO (for ordering) after April 1st, 1969. This document also indicates white lettered tires became available on April 1st and that white stripe tires remained available.

    Does anyone have a build sheet that indicates red stripe tires specified with a line drawn through red stripe and white stripe handwritten in? If so, what is the build date. Does anyone have a build sheet that indicates white lettered tires around April or May of 69?

    Anyone with factory documentation pertaining to these two tire RPOs that would be willing to share information would be greatly appreciated.

    Regards,

    Mark,
    I have a '69 with white letter tires crossed out on the build sheet and white stripe substituted (Aug. 8, '69). Can't say anything about redline tires. Also, FWIW, black leather interior was crossed out and std. interior substituted.
