Hi Jerry
The bar you refer to was a period accessory made by AMCO. I'm not sure if
they are still being made and you don't say which model of GT6 you have but
I do know that a number of years ago, Ted Schumacher at TSI, in Pandora
Ohio had a number of NOS front and rear bars for a variety of models. Give
him a try...a great guy to deal with.
