Sorry I don't have a set, but are you really needing a one year only door,or could you use 65-66 doors and move the lock **** position? If you are building a restoration car, you also know that AO Smith doors are different than St. Louis doors, don't you?

This is my first c2 project
its going to be a driver so that may work
sorry about ignorance but what’s the door difference?
i figured it would cost me 1500 to 2000 for doors in good shape

There are some subtle differences. 67 has the lock **** in a forward position versus 65-66 has lock **** at the rear. AO Smith doors and St. Louis doors used different rivets during assembly. One uses pop rivets, the other uses soft aluminum rivets, i forget which is which. The 67 fiberglass color is dark gray / black. Also, 67 doors do not use the inner sheet metal shields covering the big window access hole or the vent window mechanism.
You should be able to find a nice set of doors for the price range you listed. Try to get complete doors with all of the guts, all that little stuff will add up if you have to buy it piecemeal. For a driver, you should be able to use any 65-67 door. In fact, there is a 67 coupe project listed on here for sale that has a set of 65-66 doors on it from the looks of the pictures. Most people wont know the difference once it is put together.
