Hard Top to Fastback

RE: Hard Top to Fastback
Just buy a fastback, you'll save money. What it ends up costing to convert a couple to a fastback isnt really worth it. Besides, why screw up a perfectly good coupe. Sell it to someone that wants one and BUY the fastback!!

RE: Hard Top to Fastback
i have chopped a few tops on street rods and it was real fun. making a coupe in to a fastback is a waste of money and if you sell it the vin will show its a coupe so its worth less money. if you want a fastback buy one look around craigslist local news paper and http://ww2.collectorcartraderonline.com/

RE: Hard Top to Fastback
and on top of that a 69 would be harder then say a 68 because the quarter panels are different (i think), and has the scoop and different lines to blend and all that good stuff.
just don't do it, buy one.

RE: Hard Top to Fastback
How much do you think a decent c-code fastback is going for these days?
In LA I'd guess::
Non-running rust bucket - $3,000 to 5,000.
Rust bucket that runs -6,000 to 15,000
Okay shape - $15,000 to $25,000.
Nice shape 25,000 to $35,000.
Top notch 35,000 to 55,000.
Barrett-Jackson: 999,000,000 plus the 18% commission
How about prices where you live?
