The stronger structure of the sedan does not seem to give any benefits in 
the ride.  I think the reason for that is because these cars are so 
over-designed that the torsional stiffness is almost no issue.  The 
stronger structure of the sedan will prove useful if some other vehicle 
runs into the side of your car or if you end up rolling your car, but lets 
hope this would not happen to any Imp!  However, keep in mind that the 4 
door sedan is the rarest of them all 68's, so it may worth saving it (they 
built less convertibles than 4 door sedans, but the rag tops seem to 
survive in much better numbers).
