I have a 1969, 350/300hp. Driving it the other day and things are going great. About 20 minutes into my ride I can feel some vibration and the car seems to be riding a little rough. I go about two more miles and come almost to a stop and my passenger, rear tire explodes. Smoke is pouring out of the wheel-well. So much so that a neighbor called the fire department and brought out a fire extinguisher. I had it towed into my normal shop and they are at a loss at this point as to what caused it. Right away thought that the brake caliper froze up and caused the rim to heat up to such a point that the tire exploded. My shop is telling me that the brakes seem to be fine and that is not the problem.
Is there anyone out there that has had a similar problem or can point me in the right direction?
