All, I am looking for a full set of 1972 Torino wheel lip moldings for a laser Stipe car. I know how hard these are to find but if anyone has a set they will part with please call or text me 402-201-9674. If you just have fronts or rears I will buy a set of those as well. I understand the prices on these so don't be shy! Thanks, Michael!

Michael, I purchased one of my wheel lip moldings from this supplier: https://autopartsobsolete.com" rel="nofollow - https://autopartsobsolete.com They had another one when I ordered mine. The one I ordered was great quality, no dents. I also saw one on eBay you may want to check out. Thanks, Chris ------------- Chris Fairview, PA '1973 Ford Gran Torino |

Those are the short ones for cars with the lower body trim. The laser stripe cars use a length one and are super rare and hard to find. If I found a set of laser stripe ones at that price I'd buy them even though I don't need them just to have a backup. ------------- Vince 1972 Ford GTS Sportsroof - Survivor, One Family car GTS.org Admin |

Vince, Thanks, I read a couple of old threads to catch-up on the differences. Is this one for the 1972 stripes? It looks longer - the seller only lists one, though.

Yes, that is the correct one for a laser stripe car. Just a tad higher in price.... ------------- Vince 1972 Ford GTS Sportsroof - Survivor, One Family car GTS.org Admin |

Supply and demand economics.  I see what you meant about being hard to find! Good luck with your search Michael! -Chris ------------- Chris Fairview, PA '1973 Ford Gran Torino |

I have a full set of '72 Laser Stripe moldings that I will never use, I sold the Torinos. I bought them about 10 years ago as a spare set. I have 3 restored moldings, RR, LR, RF, that have some minor rot on the inner lip, probably from winter salt. It doesn't affect the outer appearance. I paid $250 each for those. I also have a LF that needs to be restored along with 2 unrestored rears. I have an NOS front molding also but I'm not sure what it fits because I don't have a car to test it on. It's definitely not a '73 because both ends are long like the 72. I will sell as a package deal only so make me an offer if you like. I also have a grille surround molding with attachment bolts, needs restoration. ------------- 1931 Model A 1937 Tudor Slantback 1966 427 Fairlane 1972 429 Gran Torino Sport 1992 5.0 Mustang 2003 Mustang Mach I 2005 F-150 ASE Certified Master Technician |
