The unibody can be used, if you mean floor pans, trunk and Dutch panel. Stub frames can be used, but have slight differences, the fuel line routing and the e brake mounting is different.

i thing i got keep looking for 1970 convertible thank you
my guys picked it up. i made a bet they couldn't start it.
after 30 years in a garage UN moved/started, and an oil change, old sum-gun started off a gas can .. and ran for 5 minutes. badly (lotta black smoke, hesitation, etc.) but no unusual noises. no revving past couple thousand maybe. carb wasn't clearing up tho.
I was prepared for it to be seized but it wasnt. tranny in/out of rev and drive gears. no driving of course. I have hopes drive train is an easy rehab.
and three pleasant surprises. (1) 3.23 sure-grip, (2) hide-away headlight assembly still worked .. slow but after a couple open/close cycles, she was battin' her eyes pretty good, and (3) same with the top .. worked great. (video still with it fully retracted, deck lid is up).
this is the last time it will be seen. 2-3 years from now, she goes to a better place so two (hopefully) of my other '69 verts can be brought back in a few years after that.

It appears I am about to stumble again. I own two Rolls Royces two Jaguars one Cadillac but when I came across the 1969 Chrysler 300 I knew I had to buy one. And its not easy now to import any car from the USA to Australia without running a through a maze of Aussie government lunacy. Now we have to remove all asbestos from the car and get it tested for zero asbestos before its shipped.I will be in the market to buy coupe convertible or sedan sometime in the next year so let me know if youre selling thanks
@SOVIET
You will have MUCH better examples to choose from than any of my 69 verts after I am done. Many such examples are owned by people ON this site, and come through all the time.
I can guarantee you I wouldn't have removed all the asbestos. I also probably wont make them "show" quality. I'll probably do other things to make purists mad at me.
All the best ... I am sure you will get into a "fine '69".

Where would there be asbestos in these cars?

Thanks I do all my own Resto work apart from rechroming. I don't follow originality so I will get to have 6 speed stick manual 69 300. I may even go completely crazy and modify a 300 sedan to a fully retractable Convertible. I leather up the entire interior as I don't like smelly sweaty vinyl. I only buy I never sell so I am immune to the market place. The 69 300 is a supercool shape. Chrysler's are easily repaired and maintained unlike Rolls Royce or Jaguars which can send people to chew bark off trees with their bare teeth. Thanks for the welcome@SOVIET

Brakes, clutches, AC seals, fan shrouds, engine gaskets, exhaust gaskets and more. To see the stupidity Google Australian Border Control import cars asbestos then laugh at us for the stupidity of the caper.

According to Australian Border Control many places but it's just a case of our bureaucratic swine making a nuisance of themselves as per usual

The 69 Fury vert looks similar to Shamu, my 69 Fury III vert.
