Contact Second Gen Graveyard
They are repopping it but not exactly

They only sell latch not cable with handle and bracket

Restore a Muscle car sells this reproduction kit if you don't mind going that route.

The cable type release setup was first used in a '73 Bird, & with the small original parts often lost, misplaced, it's great deal that they have been reproduced.

The cable style latch is beyond easy find as a used GM part.

That 1973 repop kit is not an exact match by any means but was made to work for 1973 cars which was a 1 year style.

An original 1973 stock set up sold on facebook for over $350 recently. Not easy to find - and expensive when you do. Restore a Musclecar at least has something that works you can get today.

realize, the repro is not flawless exact, have the original for my BG 4spd project.

It sold in less then three minutes and was actually bought by Dave Hall of RAMC. I do have another complete set up I think

If anyone has just the cable (with handle etc) I could use one. My cable is frayed and have yet to see if that can be repaired or replaced.

Thanks.
