Have a 1966 C-code, previous owner had restored 10 yrs./10 K miles ago. All new front suspension and new tires have 10K miles on them (205-70-14) I saw the car from the front parked on a slope the front bottom tires where (positive camber)angled in . Never noticed before is this normal for older sixty cars? The shoulder of tires wearing fine and car steers dead on with hands off wheel at 60 MPH etc. Alligned when tires installed. Thanks-Doug

if the tops of the tires were tilted inward, thats negative camber.Tilted outward towards the fender lip is positive camber.if it was the bottom of the tires, thats toe in/out

i usually have a couple degrees of negative camber on my front

This is not normal for "old cars". Here's the specs for V8 Mustangs and Shelbys. When using radial tires, I'd go with the Shelby specs:
