While perusing the local parts for sale adds, came across this near mint Firestone super sports F70-14” Wide Oval tire mounted on a factory 14” Ford rim. $60... I think he mentioned it came out of a ‘70 cougar, I would have to verify the paint daubs on the rim. Amazingly,
it was for sale here In Niagara Falls... Didn’t waste any time scooping this up. My ‘71 J Code was missing its spare tire when I got it, so this is a nice fill in. It will never be used, but certainly looks good in the trunk. Keeping checking the local parts for sale adds, you never know what will pop up..

) Yes, that is also the original factory spare tire decal that I re-applied after the restoration was complete. The Tuscon, AZ heat was so intense, it melted/fried to a crisp... all the glue and the label was easy to remove in one piece. I know the reproduction labels are no where near as accurate for the '71 Model year's (too generic across the board), so I was happy to save this original piece of paper...
