Dave, don't give up the hunt quite yet for originals. I found a set at a swap meet last year (Ames Pontiac Nationals in Norwalk Ohio) for $30.
They were in very good condition. They do have the later style full gray paint on them so I will have to take that off and repaint a 1/2 gray like mine were.
