Re: 68 doors same on vert or coup?? (Fevre)
68 doors are the same coupe and convertible. (same goes for 69). The convertibles got a big wedge recessed in the door and a receiver on the body in 70. In 68-9 the doors have a small external brass wedge in convertibles. The glass is different between coupe and convertible for all years; seems like there is some differences in 68 and later window mechanisms.
