OK, thanks all, i printed off your responses and i will have those out
in the carport with me as i attempt to figure this one out.
what did i buy? I am not sure i should go into that, afetr my 300
dollar wagon luck out, i sensed a lot of resentmentLOL.
its a 65 coronet 440 4 door .
This new car was kind of a fluke in a lot of ways-
i went to look at it this summer as a possible parts car, figuring
it was junk, but when i got there i saw it was just unbelievably
solid,it has no cowl rot, at all, and the rear window trough is
completely solid. I got in the trunk and way up under the dash with a
light to determine this. plus the floors are totally solid ( the guy
let me peel up the carpets), and as for the quarters. i got way
down into the trunk wells and pulled out the seam sealer and they are
good. the only real cancer i found is a quarter sized spot up on the
drivers fender in the usual spot behind the wheel. this car must have
spent most of its life parked in a garage in the winter.
so my next thought was this is too solid for a parts car, but it
would be a great candidate for the 2 door conversion I have been
itching to do ever since wally breer told me about it. and i already
have the parts to do it.
but the guy wanted too much for it,si stalled. granted it is fairly
nice, what u might call a sesoned survivor, all original paint and
uphoilstery, but not really what u could call a creampuff either,
but for solid bones i dont think u can do better, except for maybe
arizona.
shes a slant six car with column shift auto and manual stering and
brakes, radio delete. the motor runs good and it shifts nice, so
shes a driver til i decide what to do with her. does need a brake
job. and those brake lights fixed.
so when i found all that rot in the wagon i thought about this car (
again) as a parts car for the wagon so i called the guy up and he was
much more reasonable 5 months later. plus he said his woman has
really been on him to dump it.
But I am not gonna part it out for the rusty wagon, its definitely
going two door conversion, no question about it, way too solid to go
hacking up.

i wont say what i paid, it was hinted that might be in bad taste,
and maybe it is, but i will say i paid MUCH less than his original
1400 dollars he wanted .
so it looks likke i will be getting that 2 door 65 coronet post i have
always wanted after all.
