Looking for 1980 woodgrain trim pieces LeBaron wagon

[Edd Woody]

Hi folks, hope you all had a good Christmas! My Family Truckster has warped woodgrain trim. I'm hoping someone on here can help me locate some replacements?

 

[Edd Woody]

This shows the driver door trim that's warped. Any ideas where to look for a replacement?

Those are very hard to find nowadays.

Plastic over a metal core as I recall...so in theory maybe they could be straightened.

4022887 is the Mopar # for the left Front door molding

searching google this is all I got:

Yes it looks like the metal core rusted and helped warp the plastic. That will be my 1st try to fix.
Thanks

In my experience the rust belt cars have a great finish on the wood but go warpy, the straight ones in arid climates, the rubbery plastic fades/ deteriorates...but is straight.

Yes I would. please keep me posted. I'd like to buy your complete car if I can get it shipped to Flint Michigan, then across the bridge into Ontario Canada for a reasonable price. I'm going to check with a car dealer broker tomorrow.
If you do decide to part out I'd like the woodgrain outline trim.
Thank you!

Supposed to send a fella some pics of the undercarriage tomorrow. Keep you posted.

Nigel, at National Moparts, has a Mopar scrap yard. But you may have a hard time finding those in Ontario. They rusted out, in three or four years.

Yeah, man, I cringe for you my friend, this is basically classified as being made from "unobtanium".

I think the best bet would be to find a used piece in a good shape, and it looks like you may have done just that!!!

Man, this reminds me of how long I looked for the wheel well lip trim (fender lip) for my coupe. Heck, years...but while doing so I scored two sets of NOS trim for the 4-door rides, but ZIPPO, ZILCH, NADA, NIC NIE MA for the coupe! Every time a potential lead went nowhere I reminded myself of the last time when I had asked the local dealer to look up the avilability of the part. Couple came up, both were around the $50 price range, and I thought: "ha...like I'm paying THAT much....give it some time and I'm sure you'll be looking for me to buy at MY suggested price"!!! What was I thinking???
