Default 1973 Grand Am Parts Wanted

The car is a 1973 Pontiac Grand Am, 455. Cameo White/Ox Blood. 53k miles. Not too many options, which I would like to change. I know keeping a classic car "original" is a common strategy, and if this was a 73 Firebird in like condition I wouldn't do it, but GAs don't have that value and I don't think adding a few options will hurt.

I don't know how many other A-Body models or previous/subsequent years might work. Any guidance there would be appreciated as looking up "1973 Grand Am" parts does not often generate much.

Interior parts should be ox blood (red). Here's my list:
> Passenger side lower seat trim. This is the hard plastic skirt near the floor.
> Drivers side power seat - complete.
> Tachometer and rear housing (green).
> Power window door panels with trim and switches. This would be the lower half of the door panels. I think I have the correct mechanicals, motor and tracks for inside the door, but would be open to buying a complete setup to be sure.
> Power trunk release button (goes in glovebox). I have the trunk release mechanism.
> Cruise Control switch. I think I have the cruise mechanicals, but would be open to buying a complete setup to be sure.
> Weatherstrip for a factory sunroof. I'm waiting to hear back from an email to montemania.com. Some other website forums say they'll have it.
> Spare tire cover. This is original to the car and had a stiff top disc, probably cardboard, with felt sides.

For possible barter:
> 1974 power window door panels with switches, saddle (tan).
> Two dome lamps with the map lights, one in excellent condition. The other is good, but the plastic lens cover is kind of yellowed.

Thanks to All!

Interesting how your request was found in this forum. Should have been in the 61 to 77 GTO Lemans etc wanted. The Grand Am is part of that forum. Anyway, where are you located? Don’t have the colors you are looking for except the complete power seat conversion.

How long have you owned the car? It looks identical to a 73 455 car I sold a few years back. I bought it in the late 1990s, sold it around 2002 I think. My car had higher mileage (about 90K I think). It went out of state.

I've had it since 2006. I bought from the original owner in New Jersey. He bought it new from a dealership in Lombard, IL
