Praise be to never never land. I wish I had the cash/time/garage to actually fix this baby up.

Total waste of money to buy and fix up...

Having seen a "softtop" conversion on an XB up close, i found it to be completely hideous.

The coupe body is not a design that fairs well when the conversion is done, its just looks ugly.
Its even uglier when the rag top is up.

Plus the car looses so much rigidity that its not funny.
Coupes or sedans of that era flex like buggery when its roof is there and as part of the conversion large box steel chassis rails need to be added to the floor pan.
This stops the floor sagging, but doesnt stop the excessive body twist.

Anyone who chops the roof off a coupe needs their head read....
We are 100% snafu....

Don't think I'd go One grand on that.
Strike that... I WOULDN'T go one grand.

$100 -$200? Maybe if I were looking for a Challenging project.


Seen worse become good cars, though.

Hard to believe someone would butcher a good landau like that. Sort of sad actually. Maybe its a nice custom, but it still looks brutalized to me.
