you can uaually tell which ones will be radioactive just by looking at them. the radiation will have destroyed the paint so it'll not glow anymore but it's around ten half-lifes for the radiation to pretty much completly go. so for radium thats 16,000 years. because the radium breaks down quite viol...

GT40s at Amelia Island 2013 ps the Gt40/MK3/1103 doesn't have new wheels. the originals were kept in a loft when the car was modified in the 70's and we were able to get them checked and repainted after the old perished tyres were removed. the spare had never been used. http://i156.photobucket.com/...

hello, my name is Barry. about 25 years ago i used to smoke around in a '68 318 Barracuda Fastback with 4 on the floor. i was in my teens at the time, a time when owning and driving these cars at that age was possible :) http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t27/B0ZWELL/2534d936-bd3a-4b9f-8bde-d9d8ce34...
