The large moulded fiberglass pieces.

1966-1967 look similar.

Or is it only 1968-1970?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks. Eric

Here’s a 66-67 for example

66-67 have the round courtesy light as shown in your pic. 68-70 has a small rectangular courtesy light in it.

Ok. Cool. If that’s the only difference I’m golden.

Does anybody reproduce these?

Thanks again. Eric
 
Not that I'm Aware of , I read awhile ago someone was trying to repop these made in fiberglass but mot sure who. Sorry....
 
They were reproduced twenty years ago.. Long out of production...
 
The light is not the only difference... the area where the seat filler panel goes is tilted. 68-70 is more parallel/flat.
 
Here is a pic. These are all 68-70

Thank you very much. For its intended purpose I think the 66 to 67 will work. But from what I’m finding I might just fiberglass and repair the ones I have.

They have not been cut for speaker holes. They are just missing a few pieces and cracked up top. But it looks easy enough to repair
 
Well, I have to disagree a little bit with the information above. I think you need '68-only b-body convertible rear interior panels. The '69-'70 b-body convertible rear interior panels will "physically fit", but 69-70 have small rectangular holes for the courtesy lights & 68 has those fancy round ones. I "think" the 66-67 panels would be different along the body lines (?) but they sure look similar at a glance.

I would recommend you repair yours. I've had good luck laying fiberglass/glass mat from behind & filling it in with bondo. Then just sand & paint with interior paint.

That’s kind of what we’re leaning towards.

One is missing a pretty large chunk up top, but it’s nothing some fiberglass Mat can’t fix.
 
I disagree and stand by what I said as far as courtesy lights go. In 68 they are not round.
 
68's are also rectangular. I have 67 GTX with round and a 68 Sport Sat Vert and they are rectangular. Both cars are original.

The filler panel I am speaking of separates the back seat from the trunk. The plastic interior panels slip into the end of it to.
I had done a ton of research on this as I am restoring this....
