Thanks for the different suggestions, men. I was certain that I had seen repros/NOS somewhere for sale. On my car, the handle has stress cracks and at this time is filly functional but I don't want that one time I go to use it to be the time it falls apart in my hand.

I called Max Merritt and they said that there's a sizable amount of iuvory ones out there from parts cars they have but what they normally do is just paint them if a customer insists on a color match. (They happened to have an entire assembly in green, used, and sent it to me).

I was thinking maybe the senior handle would be a nice upgrade. Then I'm sure I'd be tempted to continue that line of thinking and swap all available senior trim pieces out on my car for a pseudo-senior car look. A 'poor man's" senior, if you will.
