That does appear to be the exact same handle. I've seen it on plenty of GM cars recently. Gotta love the General's parts bin.

A few questions about the execution of the handle, did you find a donor door with a metal skin, to graft into the original door, or did you build the bucket yourself? Did you use the original door latches, or adapt a more modern latch?

Here's a pic of the drivers front handle


I believe the last gen Grand Prix uses the same handles.

These are from Corvette as well

We made the bucket to hold the handle.
We just adapted the metal rod to the handle and use stock latches

The donor doors were metal, I cut out obout 2-3 inches extra around the handles to give me plenty to trim and work with as needed.....But the same as Pete I will alter/adapt the metal rod to work and I am using the stock latches!
