C3 Auto Convertible Body swapped onto C3 Manual Coupe Chassis
I have been looking for a manual trans 1980-81 convertible and can't find one reasonably priced. So I would appreciate advice from someone who knows more than I do about how hard it would be re: C3 Auto Convertible Body swapped onto C3 Manual Coupe Chassis, as I have found 2 reasonably priced donor cars.

Umm...there were no factory convertibles after 1974 or 5.
I have seen a couple of aftermarket conversions on coupe cars.
And manual trans were very rare after 78, and one year they were not even available at all. (82?)
You are looking for quite the unicorn!
Good luck or build it yourself.
