(she) Found some parts for 200-250 each but said they werent in the best of shape. Im wondering if anyone has any ideas as to where to get parts for a good price. Do they even reproduce these items anymore?

Hope you can find a good junkyard around or someone with a parts car otherwise you're SOL.

Unfortunately Im going to have to second what Dave said. Ive been looking for body parts for my '69 deville for 2 years now, and havent found anything i can use. I need both front fenders and a few other things but like i said i havent found any decent sources. Other than 'Classic Caddies' in Canada www.classiccaddies.com but i dont know how helpful they are when it comes to parts. Always look at eBay for a decent parts car in your area, last week a '69 CDV in decent restorable shape went for $550 ad it was only 85 miles from me, but i missed the boat on it. You can also find a good body shop that will repair rust and dents, thats what i plan to do with my SDV. Good luck to your friend and let us know if you find anything.

Get a copy of Hemmings motor news at a bookstore or newstand and "cruise hemmings" as my friends say. They have dozens of parts suppliers for Cadillacs, all kinds of parts, including body parts, when my 1968 got rear ended, I needed a decklid and bumper, got them both through hemmings. For the collector car market, the old fashioned paper and phone calls is still the way to go.
WILL A 72 LF FENDER WORK? I HAVE ONE IN GOOD SHAPE. CONTACT DRHJBOOTH@WOWWAY.COM FOR DETAILS.

No Way. 1969 and 1970 were close, some body parts will interchange, 1971 & 72 were massive exterior redesigns. Nothing will interchange, except for light bulbs, etc.
Now, get off the computer, go to a bookstore get a current issue of Hemmings and find what you need for your car!
