I'm building a car with my son for him to drive, car is road worthy and is about to be driven in a daily basis. Interior is next. Since it is a coupe I'm having trouble finding parts. Anyone know where I could go? New or used will be considered!
Try Sundell auto in Shelby, NC. They are most likely closed currently due to the stay at home order. Their web sight have some information on it. I purchased a few parts from them when I was working on a friends 68 skylark custom conv.
Hey Treeboy, I have a 69 Special Deluxe / GS Clone, the Post car front door panels are definitely different than a hardtop, you may be able to call Legendary Auto Interiors- 800-363-8804 & send them your old front & rear panels to be redone ( will be expensive) Here's what was done on my car: The hardtop front door panels will fit, the window crank is in a different location & the top of the door panel is a little short at the end of the panel ( maybe 6" or so back from the lock button) So you could buy new hardtop front door panels from Legendary and not have them put any of the holes in the new panels (like window crank) & match the holes in your old front door panels to the new hardtop panels... Cool?? So now the rear seat area: I think the post car originally has a wider rear seat because of no armrests, if you could get the complete rear seat & armrests out of a 68-72 hardtop you should be good. You will need new 68 or 69 hardtop rear door panels , armrest recover kits ( the armrests go from the middle of the rear door panel to the floor & have a metal strip at the rear that goes up the corners of the rear seat back) & if you want to recover the back seat. My 69 had the back seat armrests & door panels from a 69 Skylark Custom, you will probably have to decide which year (68 or 69) you want to go with as they changed slightly on the interior patterns (if your going to recover the front & rear seats). Probably not may people on the site have the Post car interior parts but quite a few should have the rear seat, armrests & other parts if you choose to go that way. Hope this helps & that may info is at least mostly correct..LOL.... Good Luck!!!
I think SMS has these. I got my 67 Special interior from them. https://smsautofabrics.com/collections/1968-buick/model-special-deluxe-2-door-coupe
Thank you for your advice! I will try those companies and since the car is significantly modified look into the rear interior options
