What part of the "rear clip" do you need? For the 2dr hardtop bodies, availability of new parts is limited. You can get the cheesy made-in-China partial quarter panels. You can get a repro trunklid and back bumper. That's about it. If you need more, you're looking at good used southwest sheetmetal.

i need the whole rear clip from the top of the rear window to the bumper.
i don't need the bumper or trunk lid.
i am the 3rd owner of this car and when i baught it i was told that nothing was wrong with and it had never been in an accident (yah right). about a year after the bondo started to fall off. when i looked under neath i fornd the rear cross frame is twisted like someone had to pull it out of a ditch, when i started to redo the top i found the welds for the rear clip. the clip thay put on is all rusted out from the window down.

Please post the city and state your in, I have the parts you need but if your too far away it wouldn't be cost effective. John

I was afraid you were in the mid-west or east coast! Your parts wanted ad here is a good start. You could also post one for free at realoldspower.com and 442.com. Good Luck with your car! John
