These guys have all kinds of weather strip kits. http://www.restorationspecialties.com/2 ... %20PDF.pdf Or try these big gunners http://166.82.96.3/homeframes.html I feel your pain with trying to find parts for A-body wagons, maybe we should all just own ugly Camaros, then it wouldn't be such a chore finding parts.

Remember, the market for early A-body resto parts is much stronger in Australia than in North America. Both Blue Star Spares and Pentastar Parts and Restoration have seal kits for wagons like yours. Their AP5 model equates to our '63-'64 Valiant. Their AP6 equates to our '65. And their VC equates to our '66. These kits both include the windshield gasket and lockstrip and the "Bailey channel" (which is the 3-sided fuzzy stuff that fits in the top and sides of the window frames). You may not need those items, and either vendor will likely supply just the parts you need a la carte. Neither kit contains quarter glass seals or lockstrips, as it seems. The Australian dollar exchange is such that both of these kits cost under $1K US.

Thanks for stealing my thunder Dan, but seriously, it's good to know, since I'm also shopping for belt weatherstrip and headliner for my wagons.
