Of course a set of 36 year old tires would not be safe to install and drive on no matter how perfect they are. Kelsey Tire Inc. does make a re-pop of the GOODYEAR P215/65-R15 EAGLE GT at $500 ea.

In some states, it against the law for a tire or wheel store to even add air to a tire over 10 years old, for liability reasons, and they way I drive...I wouldn't chance it
These tires are clearly not meant to be driven on. The value is just their existence and some people, regardless if it's a GN or other classic car, want original tires for time-capsule cars. If they are worth nothing I'll toss them but I thought someone may want them.

Maybe not....
In this day and age, you sell them and some guy drives on them, they fail, and he sues your ass into oblivion. How's that for a "win"?

This. They're worthless and dangerous for anything but a museum piece that will never be driven.

Ozone is a tire killer....
Had a pair of NEW / unmounted Goodyear ft runners for the Buick.
They had been stored above the shop, on the attic floor for quite some time.
When I dropped them to the shop floor both of them had the sidewall actually crack open.
Sounded like walking on chips!

They'll be fine if you put nitrogen in at $100 a pop per tire at the local stealership. 
I have a new, never been used goodyear 10-15 AT/Tracker on the never used factory rim
that was the spare in my 77 blazer. If new 215-65-15 tires are $500 a piece this has got to be
worth half a million! PM me, I'll cover the freight anywhere worldwide!
