I asked a while back about this and thought I would try again. The gutter I have is melted from a fusible link fire many years back. Unfortunately, the 1972 models have a larger(wider) and boxed type of gutter with openings on the bottom for the wires from different circuits to run from. It differs from the gutters used on earlier years that are widely available without the openings. Unfortunately, junkyard sources have dried up as well. Thanks.

Not that I know of. I wish they did. I took one of the repo's and cut it to look like the '72.
If I see any in good shape I usually grab them.

What a beautiful car. Thanks for the picture and the gutter looks very good. My repro is a good bit shorter than the original so where did you buy your repro gutter as it looks longer than mine? I guess I'll just get another repro and cut it. Someone responded to my old thread and actually recommended the same thing and his looked good as well.

Thanks for the kind words on the car.
I believe it came from National Parts Depot. I think the early cars '60's had the shorter ones and the later cars '70's had the longer ones.
