[1978 T/A]

How hard is it to find parts for these cars? My father has a 67 Bonneville conv and that car is difficult to find parts for.

He says he has all the trim for it in the car. Along with a couple of extra doors, AC dash and accessories.

I know the car needs some glass. Is the glass even available?

Ditto. The 4 speed setup if factory parts is worth some change. Wagons are my personal weak spot but you'd be hard pressed to sell a mint condition one for big bucks. Good drivers being bought for $3-5k are good deals, not too many survived so the selection is limited. Expensive wagons DO exist, but they are rare and don't always sell quickly.

From the front doors and forward pretty straightforward to get most parts. Front end sheet metal, dash, and interior up front is the same as the rest of the models. Rear doors back is where it becomes wagon only. Specialty parts dealers, used cars, and praying you can rework your existing stuff is what you have to deal with there.

Same with the parts comments I made. Rear doors back can be a bear to come by, the side glass is something everyone wants and the tail gate glass can be hard to come by. Lots of idiots like to shoot out glass of cars that are sitting around not being moved and wagons are extra difficult to come by. Every wagon I've had I bought extra glass for to have "just in case."
