Coupe vs Vert doors
Can someone tell me what the difference is between the doors ona coupe and vert. I am looking to buy a 71 vert with no doors, I have a set of 69 doors that came off a coupe. I know the glass is different but not sure about everything else.
Thanks,
Jeff

Physically all C3 doors interchange. '68 is by itself with the opener. 69-72 coupe are the same (and 69 vert), 70-72 convertible are the same, 73-77 coupe are the same, 73-75 vert are the same, 78-82 are the same. Differences: Vert glass is different than coupe glass. 68-early 69 has 1 style of window regulator than everything else. A vert door can be used on a coupe with no mods. A coupe door can be used on a 69 vert (68-69 used brass wedges) or can be used on a 70-75 vert if you add the weld-on recess and wedge-available from Paragon. 73 started side impact bars, but 69-77 coupe doors are all basically the same. 78-82 have different latch and lock rods, this is driven by the door panel. So in the broadest sense 68, 69-77 coupe (and 69 vert), 70-75 vert, and 78-82 are the divisions. Hope that helps.
