I have a '70 Parisienne 2 door hardtop that I am in need of a good set of inner side panels for - preferably dark green , aqua or black but I will take what I can get. I know that I am dreaming here but I'd also like a set of useable original seat covers for the front and rear seats as well. And if anyone has a driver's side hront filler/headlight panel, I could use one rather than trying to repair the one that is on the car. Thanks in advance. Gary

I can likely help you out with the door panels, and headlight panel.
I've got a set of black door panels from a convertible, while there is some water damage on the back cardboard, and they need new carpet along the bottoms, they're in good shape. The drivers side has the hole for the remote mirror. I'm sure I have a good drivers side headlight panel, what color are you looking for?
Thanks for the offers and advice guys - It looks like I found a set of door panels. Now, I just need the rear upper upholstery panels from a 2 door hardtop. I'l likely need more stuff and I will post as I figure out what all is needed to bring the old girl back to life. Thanks again for reading and responding to my post - I appreciate it. Gary
Keep in mind that 1970 US & Canadian Pontiac's had various door panels. Bonneville's used a unique set, Parisienne's, 2+2's, Executive's & Ventura's shared a set, Laurentian's and Catalina's shared a set, Strato-Chief used a unique set.

Thanks for the input. I have a '70 Bonneville 2 door ahrdtop here and I know thatthose panels are different and I didn't act quick enough awhile back on a set of panels in an Execurive that was in a junk yard in Washington state. I appreciate having an idea as to what all will interchange. I want to try to keep my car as stock looking as possible although the seat covers will likely not be original. I amy just go a seat upholstery kit for an Impala or Caprice as the brocade cloth is REALLY pretty, Not a lot of people would ever know the difference anyways and besides, it will look batter than just giving the seats to an upholstery shop and letting them recover them in vinyl and velour or some sort of generic cloth. Te car will not be a show car but rather something that is decent enough to put Collector plates on and drive as a toy in the summer.
My wife's green and white 70 Impala hardtop has an aqua interior that is very attractive - maybe I should do the Pontiac to match the Impala coulor wise inside and out? They'd look sort of cool sitting side by side in mathing colours. Sort of a his and hers thing.. hmmmmmm - there's that 455 that I pulled from a 72 Vista Cruiser wagon a few years ago that I have had hidden away... that would move the old "Yak on down the road at a respectable rate. Honestly, I think I'll stick with the small block.. it's just more simple and easier to do the transplant. Plus, things will just fit...
