Buick Regal/GN doors should be identical afaik so when you're looking for them, or a donor car keep that in mind.

What's rust free to one guys is rusted junk to the next.

Reality is, you've got 4 choices.

* Buy a $5000-$7000 roller to harvest the doors from;

* Buy the repop doors when in stock for around $2400 including tax and truck freight, then deal with lower grade metal than factory and the dings and fitment issues that come with EVERY repop sheetmetal part

* travel the desert regions looking *in person* for doors with minimal rust

* wait for repair lower door inner and outer sections to be in stock and fix what you've got.

Given you've got snakeblinder trim on your doors I vote option 4 unless money is no object and you're a glutton for punishment.

Many guys don't want to play the 10,000 pics game. Gbody prices and demand being what they are, doors are an easy sell so it's not worth putting too much effort in any one buyer on parts where grading is so subjective. 99% of doors have some corrosion, seen or unseen, related to the skin seams. Just what it is from the design on such big doors.

Demand exploded since late covid

I tried to sell G body sheetmetal out of a local las Cruces yard for over a decade. on various platforms, ebay, craigslist, some websites, etc. Very hard, could hardly sell anything. Just too common up in the "enthusiast base" area would assume. They just crushed out 21 months ago, three cutlass coupes, a grand prix tub on frame and three other frames with four doors or el camino on them. Too risky to buy the stuff. I didn't want it in my personal yard. All was crushed.

Yes concur yet things are changing. I was out of Vado for a bit, just down the road from you. I had a frame off 70 Cutlass all in primer and all I got was ppl wanting it for 500 or less in 2018. Now I check C List or EBay and cars in trash worse condition marked up to 10K or more for garbage.

Actually scavengers, hustlers, and scrappers have picked a lot clean in this part of the country. Would suspect you might find more in certain parts of the great plains and the southeast. The "pick a part" model put a lot of small independent yards out of business here, along with the fact a lot were owned by individuals that simply Died. Such as the Dona Ana NM yard. The two remaining las Cruces area yards are Action Auto parts and Luchini. Neither has a classic focus, Action is primarily late model and Luchini parts mostly medium/heavy trucks.

Believe both these yards were profiled in the final years of "car craft" magazine.

ACK....

Recommending gbp is like sending a friend to a hooker who is known to have the clap.... something you just don't do.
