    Hey guys,

    New to this page, but boy am I grateful I found you all! I am looking for parts for my '72 Electra 225 - most notably ac condenser/blower, mats, and driver's side armrest. Please let me know of any other parts you are selling for the model. Pictures are truly appreciated.

    Thanks!

    GStage1 Always looking for parts!

    KK,
    You should add your city and state to your header info like mine says Sunny Seminole FL

    Also, good idea to add at least your first name to your signature line.

    Good luck!

    Anyone have the original floor mats from a 72 tank? Any spares?

    Rusty thanks a ton for the pics. Never knew the Electra came with buckets. Interesting. Side mirror would be great. Driver's side arm rest. Front bumper and grille. Anything under the hood that is reuseable? Want to go with the small stuff first though before I go with the front bumper and grille.

    K,
    Don't forget you'll need the nose piece for the hood too. I believe they were different from '71 to '72 and the '72 grille won't work with the '71 nose piece.

    Just looking out for you :beers2: .

    Oh, have Rusty take a pic of that door panel to make sure it looks like yours. There were several different ones in '72 depending on model and options. At the minimum, you'll need to dye it the correct color as that car has a saddle interior and your's is sandlewood, which means you will probably have to dye the whole interior to get the color to match anywhere close.

    WHOA! Good point! Totally forgot about the nose piece! :TU::beers2:

    Yeah, and far as the armrest goes, I'll try and upload a pic of it. It's not TOO bad, but if I can get one that's in better shape for a fair price, might as well go for it.

    Hi,The consol was a 73-up style and it had been put in car it was still red in color.But in another thread some time back I was told that it could not have come from the factory with bucket seats;but I will say that front/rear seats and door panel all match up in design/color and color fits rest of interior and car.If ANYONE KNOWS IF THIS INTERIOR WAS CHANGED OUT LET ME KNOW IF YOU KNOW WHAT IT FITS.Door panel arm rest and bottom of quarters are bad.I have a nice 71 grille in addition to this 72 parts car.72 bumper is nice and straight w/driver chrome but impact pad is bad.
