This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Hi guys,

    I am writing from over seas.

    I need a few exterior and interior pieces for my 1976 Electra Limited Park Avenue.

    I have not explored non-mechanical parts sourcing for the car in a very long time.

    I need the left and right parking light assemblies that go under the quad headlights as well as the bezels if possible.

    A lot of the other stuff I need is not unique to this make and model so just need some sources who may specialize in breaking / parting this era of GM vehicle.

    Would be appreciated if I could get some direction here.

    I did not opt to make a "Parts Wanted" thread because I'm looking around / researching at the moment.

    Would require int'l shipping and hoping for a credit card payment option to simplify things (PayPal is not available in my home country).

    Thanks!

    Thank you guys!

    I forgot about CTC used to look at that site as a kid all the time.

    I will DVAP a call regarding the Lesabre and see what they say.

    Yes I got a few parts from Gary a few years ago, was an excellent transaction but PayPal dependent so wanted to see some other options before getting in touch with him again.

    Would anyone happen to have a photograph or a specific name for the 'stop' mechanism / bracket that the roller moves on to hold our cars' doors in the ajar positions?

    I believe its a curved piece with a step in it for holding the door open in two positions.

    My driver's side piece is broken and I don't want to take apart my passenger door to remove it and make a mirrored copy.

    I just had to find one of these entire upper hinges, for a 76 that I'm working on. Pretty much any 70s gm big car will work, mine I got from a 74 or so Eldorado, direct bolt on.
