How about upper door panels for the '73 to '77 LeMans (and Grand Ams too) - the lowers can be gotten from OPGI even though they're really for Chevelles and El Caminos. Trim pieces for the bottom of the bucket seats would be nice. For that matter, the instrument bezel for the GA/GP/GLM/CA would be another good item since it covers a lot of brands. Same for the custom sport steering wheel. Or can we at least get interchangeability notices for existing reproduced parts that will work on the '73-'77 A-bodies?

As a thread already says, are you listening, Ames and PY? (and OPGI, NPD and all the other companies?) There is a substantial body of fans for these cars - and the same year GPs as well - that is being underserved by the reproduction companies. Every one complains about the startup costs, tooling and whatnot, but consider this...

How many unrestored '73-'77 A-bodies have gone to the crusher because there were no parts available? I'd bet that many more could be saved if there were parts to bring them back. We're screaming for interior and body parts as well as the trim pieces. I wonder how much of a market you guys could CREATE simply by serving this portion of the A-body community. It's something to consider. We'd ove to spend some money on our cars by buying parts. Too bad there's not enough to buy...

Why did they name this town Port Saint Lucie, when there's no port at all here?

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
