The lower metal railing- on the Rockers of the GTX- Has anyone ever seen these reproduced?
I found it odd noone has mentioned these much

If you are referring to the extruded aluminum finned rocker moldings, no they aren't being reproduced.

They are pretty much the holy grail of GTX parts too. Expect to spend big bucks if you find a set. I've seen a few less than perfect sets with four figure asking prices.

I believe Barracuda Gran Coupes used the same extrusion, although shorter.

yeah...there's a set on moparts right now for 1500 bucks!! I had half a mind to buy them then measure and get reproduced, especially if they're an extrusion.

Got a picture? I'm interested in how difficult it would be to make these.

it cost me 350 00 can 6 years ago and they need work

Being an extrusion, the tooling cost probably wouldn't be too bad to tool up for a reproduction run. Not like an injection mold or stamping die. The finishing would be expensive though.

And in the end, you're still talking about a really tiny market for them being a one year GTX only part.

That's not to say it couldn't be done, but they certainly would not be inexpensive.

I got a set about 4 years ago, gave $800 for them. WHen I was looking, I noticed the moldings for a Cuda Gran Coupe and was checking them out, but they are too short. I never got around to it, but I was thinking of using 2 Cuda pieces per sides, welding them together and finishing them off. MIGHT be cheaper that way.

Yea, that is a tough order to fill. Considering that they made less than 3000 '71 GTX's, and only a fraction of those still exist, it will be next to never before anyone reproduces them. My Sebring Plus has the plain mouldings. They are rough, and I have almost thrown them away twice, but I keep holding on to them. I don't like they way they look, and dont plan on putting them back on my car. Good luck with your search.

While I'll agree it's very unlikely we'll ever see them repopped, there are some other parts I thought I'd never see that did get reproduced... like the GTX/SSP rear tail light bezels.

Should also be noted that there is a left and right of these.They are not completely straight as they have a slight angle on one end.
