I call it a rear body mount but I can't find anything on it in the classifieds. Is there another name I could search for? My car is missing both sides. Any help is greatly appreciated.

That is what it is. Normally you buy the whole panel though.

This is one of those things you can get easily from someone parting out a car. Search "parting" on here or Craigslist. OG ones are best, I paid like $40 for a pair a few years ago.

I have the same problem, the previous owner of my 1965 vert hacked up the rear shock tower mount. I only found it sold on the whole panel which is called the "rear wheelhouse" so I waited for a sale to grab them. I will find somewhere else to use all the extra sheet metal when I cut out the mounts

Yeah, that's in fairly good shape! I would just fix it and use the body mount part from a new panel. You could probably just make a new mount.

Try Virtanen Restoration Panels. Mika makes the '52 to '57 version of this body mount bracket. Beautifully made and totally robust.
