I picked up Josh Tennant's beautiful 73 GTS (thank you Josh for allowing me to be the next caretaker of this beatiful car). I am looking for the mounting brackets for the center console. Please let me know if you have any or know where to get them. LOVE, LOVE this car! ------------- Rtfd406 |

That is a beautiful '73! I moved your other post to the classified section, but your best bet may be fabbing your own. There isn't much to them.

How do you like the 255's on the front? I had them on my 17" wheels, but now running 18" and I need wider than 235's up front. Same rear tire size on mine. Your GTS reminds me of Pete's '73 that used to be up in Michigan. -------------  Andrew:GTS.ORG admin, '72 Q code 5 speed RestomodPondering: #99Problems |

The 255/50/17 tires on the front are great. No rubbing or any issues with turning. Definitely help with both braking and handling. ------------- Rtfd406 |
