1973 SIDE BODY MOLDING TRIM

[CANAM FLA 73]

I's like to replace all my side molding, all i can find is the molding for the doors. Is this all that's available. My drivers side fender a has a a ding, and if a replace one it will stick out compared to the original. Maybe better to stay with what I have. Thanks

You might want to check with Mike @Motorcity Mustang for some good used trim pieces. Also, @Bill Perkins may have some inventory.

The body side protection moldings are bright dip anodized aluminum. They can be straightened and polished, or polished and re-anodized. WCCC has contacts to do the restoration work, it might be worth a call to see if that's possible.

Here's the part number list if you don't have it already. I see these pop up on eBay from time to time.

Are the clips that these strips mount onto reproduced? Took mine off and looks like I lost 1 or 2 ..

Are these moldings correct only on the '73 or on all of them?

The moldings were used 71-73, but after 71 they only had a black rubber insert. 71s were color coordinated to some of the exterior paint colors.

Here's the part location diagram and part numbers for the clips. Try eBay or some of the NOS parts sellers,

Thank You so much—that's exactly what I was looking for!
Now, the hunt begins after I figure out the pieces that survived my taking the molding apart.

I have a set of Front Fender Mouldings with a Black Insert.
