We have a 73 Gran Torino wagon that runs, drives, and needs a little suspension freshening, roof rust bubbling repaired, and the water fall at the tailgate and windshield eliminated.
All in all it is solid. Guy towed boats with it so I'll be removing a homemade hitch that is easily 80-100 pounds. Pulling the air bags and springs out; replacing with new Eaton Detroit springs and QA1 adjustable shock. I desperately need the A pillar inside trim parts; if I had any skill I'd start 3D printing what I need. Anyone sitting on spares they'd like to turn into cash? I'm retired so this is one of my projects; I have four other project vehicles going as well so that I can keep my ADHD satisfied. If you are still reading - thank you.

Welcome to the forum! FWIW maybe put up a post in the Parts Wanted section as your needs are already buried in the Welcome section. to be honest i rarely click on the Welcomes, i suppose there are others that are sitting on tubs full of A pillar trim like Andrew here, |

Welcome to the forum! I have upgraded you to a new member so you have full forum privileges. We have quite a few members with used parts that can probably help you out. Like Rockatansky mentioned, Andrew (Eliteman76) just got a huge parts collection. Try sending him a PM. Definitely post a want ad too. Many don't read the welcome mat, so like Rock says, they won't check out this post.

I have a complete roof rack if you want it. It was on a 73 so cover shipping and it is yours.
And welcome aboard. |

Welcome to the forum!
I have a pair of blue A pillar covers, but I know AutoKrafters in Virginia sells repopped A pillar covers in black ABS plastic. Not had my hands on them but decent quality.
The blue pair I have are not 100% perfect but usable. I believe I also have a pair of black covers but not 100%. I spent 8 hours yesterday sorting parts. And...to put it lightly...I'm sitting on 30+ totes of random stuff and trim. I really...need to stop buying parts collections I have no business buying  |
