No, mine are clear and original to the car but I have some sun x glass that a few buddies want for their cars. I like the tinted look of them, and wondered if ANY came that way from back in the day, and possibly install them?
I would stay with clear which is factory original if it were my car but It's not. It's your car so do what you want .

Thanks BOB... I will put them in one of my other cars. They are not seen very often so thought they might be a cool thing,,, Then again maybe not- :-[

Here we are Halloween 2023..... After a long slumber decided to take it out and stretch its legs today. I was looking for more of a treat, and other then a dead battery that was my sort of trick for the day. As the Hot summer winds down and leads into beautiful winter days out west a more focused driving enjoyment can be had. A few more things to assemble but mostly complete car, to relive the way it was back in the day! ;)

I love that!  From now on, when someone asks me what business I was in, before I retired, I'm going to say "I was a professional tire tread reducer."   Now, it's just a hobby.

I feel like Scotty telling Capt. Kirk...... I am giving her all I got CAPT. Maybe a little more 112 leaded to wake up the neighborhood.

Tires only have a certain life expectancy. You may as well get what you can out of them while you can.

You need to be all you can be. Make those pansies squeal.
