Interior panels needed
Is anyone, anywhere on this planet reproducing plastic interior panels for this body style (S or 442)???
I need rear quarter window and rear side WHITE panels for my 76 S. If they are available in ANY color, I could paint them. Plus, are new clips available?

Tom,
I don't know of any re-production plastic's for our cars. Having said that, front & rear bumper fillers are available as you probably know. Other than that, I have seen some front pillar pieces that will work along with the crazy expensive "Chrome Mylar" plastic extruded opera/side window trim .
What really saved ours was,
I'n 1996, the first thing we did to our 76' was tinted the windows. That has saved the interior plastic from becoming worse than it already was.
I doubt we will ever see re-production plastic's for our cars.

Yup...Eric is correct. The only interior plastic available in repro are the "A" pillars. Those interior sail panel trims are extremely hard to find in good, used condition. They took a beating from exposure to the sun. And, white seemed to be the most susceptible to dry rot. With that said, keep watch on e-Bay and Craigslist for cars being parted. I've found several sets over the years from the local JY's...but, have long since sold them to others in the same predicament as you.

Those mouldings are very difficult to find in nice shape. If they do come up on ebay, they are often worth more than my car haha.
When I think back to 97'. I just threw mine away after paint because I didn't want them on the car at the time. Didn't give my head a hard anuf shake to say "keep em" .
