Door Panel Armrest Headache

I'm not 100% sure that they're the exact same part, but Mustang IIs had the same style of arm rests. The standard interior had a short one and the deluxe had one that was longer and extended beyond the front seat back - I had one car with a deluxe interior in the 90s, otherwise I probably wouldn't even think about it! But here are a couple pics to illustrate the differences:

Standard:


Deluxe:


But I found a few looking on Ebay. Here's a link to one of the auctions. Maybe these could work?

Oh, I see now.... Looked up Capri door panels after looking at the pace car on Mecum's site. So yours is like this, correct?

Thanks for the pics but that's not it. I've looked at some Pace Cars for sale, one that sold Mecum with a lot of pics and it's like mine, A longer armrest, more padded. It shows it pretty clear

Post an image of the piece you are looking to replace even if all you have left over is pieces of it.

In the past, I have seen some Mustangs come through where interior parts fall out of the mainstream but can still be found by looking through Granada and Fairmont parts (including steering wheels).

Yes that is it, I think only 79 and 80 used these. I'm in need of finding one for the passenger side for sure. If anyone has one or knows where there is one, awesome.

Place a [Want] ad for an armrest in the Fox section of the Classifieds. Make sure you are clear in the title, what it is you're looking for. Color shouldn't be much of an issue since you can prep and dye any of them, any color you like (so long as you're not trying to match Canyon Red )

Here is where you want to create your Want ad:


Select the [WTB/Trade] thread tag and include the year in your thread title.

So I'm sitting here bored after dinner perusing the interwebs and thought of your arm rest.... you said you needed the right side? This may be overkill, but how about this?

Yeah that is it, I'd pay $60 just for the armrest, but the $115 ship I have a problem with. I don't deal with Facebook as my wife does and have tracked down a few armrests, hopefully I'll have luck as 79-81 are the only one's that'll work.

I suppose you could email them through Ebay and see if they'll split it for you. I'd think that that should adjust the shipping charges in your favor.
