I imagine most have not been used. I don't think they will ever deflate properly after use. I have seen them on ebay.  If you want a factory correct, Make sure of the tire size before ya buy.  They do look a like in pic's.

where do you guys get your spare tires and wheel?
Most of us have the original for our cars as well as the original canister.   The spare tires are date stamped for the year as well as month.  Even my trunk carpet is original.

Wow. Thats crazy. I didn't know that. Mine had some rust and valve covers in it when I got it. I took all that out though.lol

Here's another 34 year old original.  Yes, Doug, it needs new weather stripping - and a jack bracket & wing nut if you have one that fits a 76.    ...john

4 speed and others, i have a 78 brown ta and need the space saver spare and canister, have all the rest.  where is a good place to buy what i need to complete the trunk.  there was a guy at the nats in the swap meet area who had a few but he wanted $125 for the tire and $75 for the canister, any other options here.  i really want to get this done.
Title: Re: show off your trunk
Post by: solargold on September 03, 2010, 09:19:54 AM
I bought my inflatable spare off ebay for $25 and the cannister was about the same. Just got to watch for them, you can catch a deal.
Title: Re: show off your trunk
Post by: 4SPEED on September 03, 2010, 11:38:23 AM
solargold found the deal of the day.

I paid 200 w/shipping for the tire. But is in very nice condition.  And found all my cans in junk yards and in parts cars.  But a good can with its cardboard sleeve,label and cap should be 75 and up.  And if you find one with the bottle bracket. Its name your price.

The ones I looked at the Nats , were not in good condition.   I'd say they were in the 40.00 and down range
Title: Re: show off your trunk
Post by: solargold on September 03, 2010, 12:22:43 PM
HUM!!I'll sell it for $200 shipped LOL. Was really surprised that no one bid on it and it does not appear to have been used, rim was not bent and in good shape. Put a little sand paper on it and repainted looks like new. Was a 15 inch, not sure what year it is for. My 77 has a 14 inch. The bottle had the cap and cardboard. I bought a reproduction decal off ebay for $8. There are also 2 sizes of bottles that I know of. No luck on the bottle bracket, yet. Some had Goodyear tires and some had BF Goodrich. I think it had to do which plant built the car. Here is one with bottle for a $99 buy it now.

 tire looks out of round but may be good enough for looks (who would use it anyway). I think I have an extra rim but the tire is busted.
Title: Re: show off your trunk
Post by: T/A Kid on September 03, 2010, 03:05:52 PM
My spare had never been on the ground, and I still manage to lose the bracket for the bottle and the bracket for the jack, I think I let someone use the jack and I never put them back in. I found them on e-bay more than I really wanted to pay though. Oh well you wanta play you gotta pay.

Here's mine, yes there's a repro mat under there. Trunk gets loaded daily like this. No spare or jack around town because I need the space,  If I get a flat it'll go something like this  "Hello AAA? Ya, please send a rollback" AHAHAHA    Car was Esprit with no spoiler so I need a stick. And, the answer is...... The stick is cut to the length between the brake pedal (depressed) and the steering wheel. I replace brake fluid often for track days. Rears don't bleed quickly with vacuum pump so........ Open bleeder, press pedal, insert stick, close bleeder, remove stick, and repeat till flushed.

just removed everything from trunk and added spatter paint, will apply flat clear as well, probably will still use trunk mat, but may not, it's hard to clean and gets bunched up sometimes.

where did you get that from, i would like to find a correct looking one for my 78, need that thicker material that looks more grey and white.  mine now is a repop black thin felt thing which i don't like much.  yours looks much closer to the real thing, costs.
Title: Re: show off your trunk
Post by: Squirrel on August 18, 2011, 04:19:31 PM
just got mine and it is just like yours, what is up with that huge slice on the left side, does it fit properly in trunk, great mat though, the jute is really nice.
Title: Re: show off your trunk
Post by: eroc022 on August 18, 2011, 05:58:00 PM
I have been wondering the same thing? why did they cut a slit in it ? but it will fit...
Title: Re: show off your trunk
Post by: RENOVATIONS on August 18, 2011, 06:26:23 PM
The slit is correct/normal...with the left side of the trunk being the deepest portion of the pan, the slit allows the mat to conform to the hump on the left side (where pan rolls up to meet trunk drop-off)
Title: Re: show off your trunk
Post by: Squirrel on August 18, 2011, 08:51:58 PM
love the new trunk mat, about 1/4 inch thick with jute on entire backing, very nice product, got to love them repops.  cloth type material, got from f body whse.  very satisfied, have been wanting one like this for 2 years, finally found one, thanks 4speed.
