Alot of people buy wrecked 74/75 and updated the body to that of 80-82. thats probably the cheapest way if you do all the work yourself. and if you get 74 those pesky emissions wont be an issue. Right Steve? :lol:

Given the right tools and $, any year that you want - just ask Merlin and GrandSportC3 (80 Duntov). :yesnod:

Yep, had an 81 that a previous owner had made into a convertible. I did the Edlebrock thing to it after making it a 355, repainted it triple black, and sold it at Bloomington Gold. It looked great, was a dream to drive, and got lot's of comments at cruise-ins. Sold it to a guy in Alabama. I hope it is still on the road and makin him happy! :auto: :steering:
