It is not reproduced. You would have to fabricate a new gutter or get a good piece off a parts car.

Chopper used one from a 1976 Holden Torana hatch when he repaired mine…was almost identical but required a small amount of modification…can easily be sourced from Rare Spares in Aussie….

Typically, most guys chop donor panels off parts cars. Compton, thanks for the post on this. Always helpful to know.
A lot of panels have to be fabricated off other models/brands to make something work. Basic example: trunk floor, use a reproduction panel, something for a 70-72 Chevelle or Oldsmobile Cutlass to make something work. Other times, like wheel houses, I used late 60's mustang outer wheel houses, pie cut to fit the Torino quarter panel wheel opening shape and welded up. Hot rodding mantra: #chopcutweld

Show us what section you need, and how long/short you need .... some of us might have enough shorter sections to complete it. Dave Fox
