Default What Pontiac models has the most NOS or reproduction parts?

Trans Ams 1970-1981. Select your year
Formula 1970-1981. Select your year
GTO -select your year
Other Pontiac which came with a Pontiac engine.

Brother and I are considering purchasing one of the above but would like to know how parts availabity or scarcity currently is.

This is for the exterior. Well post same for interior.

well looking at this and pondering ,I would say the most current style body which of course would be the Aussi Kangaroo(oops,I meant goat, no wait,tiger,no of course it's the kangy(I just made all this up as I go so let me get back to the subject ),the next model would be the ' 70-' 72,then work your way further down to ' 68-' 69 models(for their sheet metal,hoods, doors,etc.) 64-' 67 goats( these are 3 year runs between some model years and some sheet metal inter -change such as Hoods,quarters,doors,etc),..for certain you have to say the original GTO optioned Lemans was unique in alot of aspects of body,engine,drive-lines,(not to diminsh the 1 year only hood design(which are worth "Large" amounts of money if the metal is stock),bumpers,and the "Tone" it set in a lot of ways in the year 1963(Pontiac had achived status around Nascar and now threw it out on the streets for anybody!!!),...oh well,I forgot to say that this thread mainly applies to the Poncho "A" bodies,..I have owned early 1st & 2nd gen "F" styles but not sure of parts repro or availability,..explore this forum and ask

Don't buy a 67 GTO if it needs quarter panels. Reproductions have never been made, and never will be made.
