Any suggestions on finding window tracks and motors I can use to convert my manual windows to power in my '72 vert? I can't find aftermarket that will work and haven't lucked into a parts car. Are Cougar or any other cars the same or anyone have a suggestion? THANKS.

I would suggest ebay. In fact I sold my entire setup there last year. Also, the window glass is cut differently for power windows. If you find the rest and need the glass I still have it in my car.

Although I did not see a direct application for 71-73, they must have something for you or at the very least the parts to make it work.

A little over $800 IIRC. I originally tried to sell everything as a whole kit for $500 but I didn't get any bids so I broke it up and made about 60% more.

Thanks all. The electric life folks say don't have anything that works by the way. $800? Wow. Maybe I don't want power windows after all...

Thanks. I like how the car is turning out too.

See if the link below shows what you are looking for. These are aftermarket 17" chrome "Mach Ones" I bought used from a guy that had them on a 2003. I think I paid maybe $250 including good Kumho's for all four. I needed spacers, but I still think it was a smokin deal.
