Question Converting Coupe to Convertible?

Anyone ever heard of changing a coupe to a convertible? Are their kits available for that?

It Could Be Done But Would Look Ugly And Would Cost A Look Is It A Hatch Back

Re: Converting Coupe to Convertible?

you're kidding, right? i dont see that being practical on any level. to me, putting t-tops in a camaro without em is crazy, but going all the way to a convertable is pushing insane. this is definitely a case of: if you want it bad enough, sell the car and buy a different one with what you want.

Re: Converting Coupe to Convertible?

The practical part is that 1967-69 Coupes are much mor e plentiful and better priced than the convertibles. So if I could buy a coupe and pay to get it converted (depending on the cost), then it might be worth it.

Sure its possible to do so. All convertible thirdgens came from GM as t-top cars and an outside company converted them into convertables.

Anythings possible if your willing to pay for it.
