As a starter they didn't run CR65's, generally they were running Goodyear Blue Spot/Point which are still available over there and somewhat cheaper than Dunlops.
As there was different championships / series a definitive spec is hard to say and that is my point. If you just take the two main series, SCCA and TransAm they ran they were not like AppK. Then you can start factoring in other countries such as Australia etc and they ran to different regs.
I just think its narrow minded to keep on this AppK route especially in this circumstance and putting my spectators hat on I would much rather see some different cars running different period spec. Ok, a certain spec make give someone an advantage but at least it would allow some variety. When these cars were in period the big battle was Ford V Chevy, Mustang versus Camaro, bet there won't be one Chevy on the grid.
