Ha!  Try sourcing trim parts for an Alfetta.  I try snap to up most of
the parts I see on Ebay simply because I'm not likely to see them again,
and who knows when I'll need them.

Still, I think that as the car ages, Re-Originals, et al will start
to produce parts for the GTV6.  You can get rust repair panels for the
worst spots even from IAP.  The demand is currently low, mostly because
not enough of the cars need them.  It will probably always be lower than
the 105/115 cars, simply because of relative production numbers.

Being close to APE helps.  I just got a windshield from them (they don't
ship glass).
