1975 outside door handles

[zolav8]

I'd like to buy a nice set of outer door handles for my 1975 Salon.
Aftermarket, NOS, nice originals?

Where to buy?

Zola, you can get aftermarket door handles, but the 73-76 handles are a little bigger/fatter than the 77-up. They will bolt up and work fine, they're just a little smaller/thinner. You can buy them at the bigger chain auto parts stores in the help section [if you have them in Hungary?].

[if you have them in Hungary?]

No. :D
But I have the route to purchase and get almost anything shipped here.

Thanks for the info, it's good to know, however first I try to get the correct handles.

I got a copy of the Performance Years (Pontiac) catalog earlier this week. They have new repro Pontiac '73 outer door handles for $17 each (U.S.). Not sure if they would be the same for your application, but I'm considering them for my '73. Performance Years has a website, so you could order them over the internet. I'm guessing that '73 door handles are the same for all the GM A-bodies for this year, I need to confirm before I order some for myself. I also picked up a set of nice used door handles from a '74 Cutlass S in the wrecking yard earlier today. If the Pontiac '73 door handles work out for me and don't for your application, then you are welcome to the ones I picked up today.

Thanks for the info, however I've bought and installed the later year handles.
I had to use different size bolts and had to drill bigger diameter holes on the handles for the lock bars, but they fit perfectly.
