Yeah i will hold onto it. I would like to see them come to the reproduction market. I called autokrafters the other day and they told me to try calling hemmings motor news. If im not able to get in contact with someone that would be able to make a mold from it i will put it up for sale on here. Even though its cut at the top it would be better for someone out there looking for a grille that doesnt have one or in worse shape.

Shoulder belts and retracts would be sweet. Not sure if it already was asked about somewhere else.

When I first reached out to Ron, here was his reply....
"send a list of items and I will review them and pass them along to my sources if I think they merit it. Keep in mind that most items reproduced require 10s-100s thousands of dollars up front for tooling and then minimum production runs of 500-2500 (prepaid) and then annual sales of that amount for 3-5 years to justify the tooling expense. With that being said send me a list and I will check it out." After watching this thread for a while, here is what I sent to him... "here is a partial list of items the Gran Torino Sport forum would love to see reproduced.... 72-76 wheel opening moldings 72-76 rocker moldings 74-76 rear qtr panel lower moldings 72-76 latch pillar qtr window seal (2dr) 72-76 door panels & rear seat trim panels with correct burlwood accent insert bumper guard pads (were used across the entire Ford product line throughout the 70's) floor console lids (also used on several '70s era models) rocker molding clips (pn C9WY-6510182-A - there are being repopped by someone for West Coast Classic Cougars) There were other suggestions for year specific parts and 4 door and wagon parts but I think the ones noted above would be excellent candidates for reproduction and would sell pretty well. Some were used on other Ford products besides the Torino for several years. I look forward to your thoughts on the supplied list. I'm sure if there are any listed above that would require a sample for duplication, members would surely supply them to get new pieces in the works!" As yet I've not heard anything back from him, but I will reach out and see what his thoughts on this list are and advise...
