Project car that needs a donor car like a 2- or 4- door sedan with good floors/frame, on which to swap good parts and the convertible hardware.
The unibody double rocker panels have started to rot and rust out as they’re so close together. You can swap out the whole frame or get the true way frame guides opened up and put steel tubes in to repair. Also could be parted out.
Pink slip in hand. Car info:
215 ci V-8, aluminum block.
New white power convertible. New white seats. New brakes.
Odometer doesn't work and gas pedal needs to be reattached.
