I guess it would depend on if you intend to parade about town.


I also wonder about the structure with the roof cut off. Pics aren't really helping all that much.

 

[mr. fix it]

So was this a HT that was chopped for parade use?

It's kind of cool....

 

[polara71]

It is kind of cool but would scare me enough to run the other way

If the car was free, it would still bankrupt you.

Not if you left it as is and fixed the mechanics to run it safely.

If you'd like to drive it pretty much as is for a summer cruiser and could get it for less $ go for it

I'd be just a little worried about the structural soundness with the roof cut off

This one has a full frame underneath. I'd have to go for a look if it were near me.

They didn't add any stiffening to Imperial Converts Matt? I was thinking about twisting w/o a roof might be a less stable platform as far as doors lining up etc

 

[detmatt]

This is a full frame car, it should do ok without it's roof.

I don't know about 66's but '58 4dr hardtops got the same frame as the converts.
