Coker is a good place to deal with. Try Diamondback Tires as well...prices are comparable.

I've bought tires from both and have been completely satisfied with both. It comes down to what product looks best to you...the prices are almost identical.

Just for the sake of clarification....Polyglass tires are a BELTED, bias ply tire. They are neither steel belted, nor radial ply tires. They were a high performance tire in the 1970s.

If you're looking for OE replacement/reproduction tires for a 1978 'Vette, you're probably thinking of the GoodYear Polysteel radial. They were used as OE tires on the Corvettes and WS-6 optioned Pontiac TransAms.
