Might you belong to a regional Pontiac club? Or try a Facebook Pontiac page?
Certainly no match for @roadburner . I saw this at CarMax today. It is an automatic. The black cloth interior was dirty but not torn up, no cracks in the dash. You can see the back of my Passat with the driver door open two rows up

in between, passed a 1968 Camaro. did not get a good look but seemed to be a Z28 but no RS package. had exposed headlights. Rear spoiler only (no front). white with orange double stripes. I have a 1/16 model on my dresser of that spec car.

She laughed and I think she appreciated that I didn't make a snarky comment.
So it’s all fixed?

It's back running but plenty more things need fixing.
Going up hills it still runs warm. Radiator has stop leak in it.

Just over 41K. Time does take a toll.
Sitting is IMO worse than driving regularly and having more miles.

I think the radiator is all metal. Fill side where caps is, is definitely metal.
There are tons of replacement options but no OEM so far.

Those guys are radiator geeks!
Yep, bet they aren’t cheap! But if you want to stay with brass, may be the way to go.

For '74, my book shows them breaking it out into base, Custom, and Limited, so by then I guess they were trim levels. For '75 there's just Custom and Limited, but wasn't that the year they offered the Park Avenue option? I wonder, did they just push the Custom and Limited names downscale, and then the Park Avenue essentially became the old Limited? Or did they really drop the base trim level, leave the Custom and Limited as is, and then the Park Avenue was something more upscale?
Back in the '60s most sway bars were less than 1" in diameter. It wasn't until the '70s that bigger ones started to be more common.

RE.: Later Electras, mid'70's--I don't ever remember seeing an Electra without a front-seat center armrest after the '72's. My guess, only that, isn't so much that the model names were pushed down, but that the lowest trim level, like the car in that ad, was done away with, but ultra-luxury model at the top ('Park Avenue') was added.

In my case since a shop would need to take the control arm off the car to replace the bushing (which did indeed involve a lot of bench work, including pressing out the old bushing and pressing in the new one), I just had them replace the control arms on both sides with new units which came with new bushing installed, since they were cheap and readily available. That may not be the case for you though.

And yeah, it does seem like a generic enough part that any number of them should fit, but looking online, I even found a Dorman one (forget the website), but it said it would not fit my car.
Oh, here's something y'all will get a kick out of. I had some errands to run today, so I had gone by the local Advance Auto, on the long shot that they might have it. Naturally, they didn't. But then, one of the other workers chimed in with something like "the best thing you can do, is find a donor car that has all the parts on it". Umm, yeah, right. Like there's a ton of '67 Pontiacs just lying around in this day and age, waiting to be donor cars. And, I'd imagine that anything still in the junkyard that hasn't been crushed, has probably been there for a long time, so I'd imagine most of the suspension parts like this would be every bit as shot as mine is. Unless, it was a junkyard out in the desert perhaps. But, just the way he said it, with such a know-it-all sort of authority, I thought was amusing. I imagine he'd make a good politician

Always fun talking to folks that are authoritative in their ignorance.
Boy, no kidding. It's the ignoramus who can't admit something that is the absolute worst for me.
I was in an Advanced Auto Parts probably five years ago. Customer came in with a list of stuff for an Eldorado; can't recall the year. He walked away for a minute, and one of the counter help said "Who makes Eldorado?". Had I had a mouthful of whatever drink, I'd have spit it out.
The guy who actually looked the part up for me was a bit older. Maybe my age or a bit older, so I figured he'd at least be more knowledgeable. But the other one, who told me to go get myself a donor car, was probably young enough to be my kid. He really showed his knowledge when he also said "the problem is you have a car that wasn't very popular..." Umm, by whose metric? I think every once in awhile, the Catalina might have outsold the Fury lineup, to claim #3 spot in big cars. That was when they used to group Biscayne/Bel Air/Impala/Caprice as just "Chevrolet" and all the big Fords as just "Ford". And even if the Catalina alone didn't, if you threw in Star Chief/Executive and Bonneville, it certainly outsold the Fury on a fairly regular basis.
I mean, I get what he was trying to say...it's not a '57 Chevy or a '65 Mustang. But it's not like it's a '57 DeSoto or something!
Actually, the parts situation, NOS and repro, is good for '60's Studes, which always amazes everybody.
2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
Use a lubricant spray meant for rubber and squirt some on one part at time then wait to see if that affects the sound as the lube works in. I had a Skyhawk that squeaked with certain movements. The dealer used a molybdenum based spray on the sway bar rubber at the bracket, and it quieted down for a long time.
2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
But jeeze, they just won't let those GM cars with the stationary rear door windows die. Good lord, it's probably been at least 35 years since the last one rolled down the assembly line, let it rest in peace!
That said, that car looks clean. I'm going to guess somebody liked those wire caps and that it probably wasn't built with them.
