I would try searching through Hemmings for doors if you really need them.Even if they do reproduce them in the future, the price will likely be quite expensive, and reproduction parts just don't fit too well. I struggled with them on a 65 VW Bug and a 1968 Mustang I was involved in and they required a lot of tweaking to ever fit right. I have also used the "CAPPA" certified collision parts on a Maxima, Sentra and an Escort and they too were miserable when it came to fitting right. Do yourself a favor and hunt down originals in a southern state then have them shipped. I find em all the time where I live for $50 each in the self serve yards around Tampa and St Petersburg FL. Just be sure they aren't fatigue cracked from the windows and that the bottom pinch weld is mint before you buy.

I agree, try and hunt down an original pair. I just found a set of limited trim doors for my regal about a month and 1/2 ago in absolute MINT shape (in a small junkyard no less :D ). So, there still out there.

Only doors I could find are fiberglass and say you have to use lexan windows. They are pricey also over $560
Mostly G body's from 81 on.
VFN Fiberglass if you are interested.

If anyone is looking for some I have a rust free pair off of a 87 Monte SS just north west of the ATL. Passenger side door has a small dent, but it is not through the body line. Doors have glass and power window stuff. $300 takes the pair. Local pick up only.

The old lady took the pics and couldn't move the doors otherwise I would have took pics of the lower corners where rust usually occurs.

I bought a very solid pair of doors for my '84 Cutty in a junkyard for $50 a piece. They were rust free with working window motors and they had the door panels in perfect shape. I thot it was a good deal :D

I just put my Cutlass in the paint shop, I ended up paying $180 for 2 doors...

After reading this thread, I guess I didn't do too badly...
