  Sorry Darryl, tend to disagree... Mine has been sitting on a 4-dr sedan frame since @ 84-85.. I also forgot to add the mounts under the doors in the process that are still MIA to this day... But as most of the '65-'70 B body people know, our frames are boxed right out of the gate... And, the doors still open....wink

Is it worth making it a HT car again? ...interesting, I guess someone really wanted a drop top and to show off some fabrication skills!

Its only 1 of 31 with the L36 so it could be worth it to the right person.

A 'vert with a hardtop frame? A no-no, unless reinforced.hmm

 

"On Jul-08-13 at 09:09:25 PDT, seller added the following information:

Okay...Thanks to some sharp eyed Ebayers, I have done more checking myself and it seems that this car which I bought out of an estate, is not quite what the Montana title says it is: a Caprice convertible. This car started out its life as a two door hardtop! Whenever the conversion was done, it was done very, very well. I have been around collector Chevrolets most of my life and I was still certtain that a mistake had been in the VIN somewhere..until I crawled underneath the car. Yep...hardtop frame. Thusly I am making the first bidder an opportunity ti withdraw his bid and we will start this over again. Sorry...I guess you can never completely trust a title."

back in the late 60's when I built frames for hayes dana, convertible frames were the same with the addition of a side rail box rail, to add the needed strength and rigidity so it would not flex as much,

Where did you build frames for Dana? My brother used to do it for Budd in Kitchener.
