    can you post us a pic?

    these don't seem like they would be the same and are longer.

    up-to 79 or '80 Granada and Monarch armrests can be used in our cars. Maybe Versailles, but not sure ... seem to remember them being different somehow.

    Toward the end of the run the upper mount was improved to toughen it up so that the handle wouldn't break as easily. A screw runs through a hole in the back of the handle. There is a little different piece of hardware tabbed into the door that would be good to get with that too if you can. If not, probably not a deal breaker.

    There were some in Fairmonts, too, IIRC. Might be many early Fox body cars, '80 Cougar, T-Bird, Mustang, Capri, and these would be the lower trim levels, again IIRC. Don't know that they went all the way into the mid-80s.

    I have sold a few of these ... grab them anytime I find decent ones because those handles take a beating.

    my interior is tan/brown

    Bobo, I want to see what is the condition of money's handles first but that sounds like an ok price.

    any way to restore these to make/look like new?

    I don't see the chrome end piece..
    I always pull from the base of the grab to help prolong the life of the handle.
