Default Vintage Tires?

I know this is an LS1 forum, but I figured I'd try and see if any of you guys might be able to help... Does anyone know of any tire companies that make vintage tires? (aside from Coker) My papaw's in the process of restoring a '67 Grand Prix convertible that he just bought last year and can't find any vintage white wall tires for it any cheaper than $300something/tire. So, I was just wondering if anyone knew of any that maybe he could get for a little cheaper.. Thanks guys!

You could try contacting TomzWheels and see if they can order something for you. They are a sponsor in the list to the right. Hope they can help!

14" I guess... he's going original with the restoration. He's pretty adamant about wanting white walls, too. I tried to explain to him that he might just have to pay that much, but he's convinced there's cheaper out there.
