Wanted: 1971 Cutlass Convertible Full Frame

I'm looking for a 71 cutlass chassis frame for a convertible car. My frame is in terrible shape and needs replacing. I'm looking to purchase a frame by February if possible. Let me know if anyone has one they are looking to off load.

Convertible frames can sometimes be difficult to locate. There is a kit to box in the A-body frame just like the convertible frame. Just a thought if you don't find a good convertible frame.
Good Luck.

Thanks,

I still have one in Brazil Indiana. It has lots of pitting and the body mount holes need a little work but it is still solid. It still has the crossmember, disc brakes and control arms on the front of it. I would take $1000 for it with the disc brakes.

Gary, I lived in waynesville, MO for the last 6 years but I have recently moved to central Texas. I will keep you in mind but not really feeling the 14 hour drive to Missouri.

Thanks jensenracing77, I will keep yours in mind also. If there isn't one closer to Texas I will possibly take a look at yours.

There is a place I found on Craigslist that if I remember correctly is inTexas. I will find it and post to this thread. They have a body frames. Maybe they have some without powder coat cheaper but the cost of the frame, cleaning and coating adds up. Good luck.

Wanted: 1971 Cutlass Convertible Full Frame

I recently acquired a '70 442 convertible stripped parts car. The body is junk. What I can see of the frame looks good. I plan to remove the body shell very soon and will be offering the frame up for sale, either as a rolling chassis or a bare frame. I will update on condition. Thanks, Bob.

Bob,

Once you get the body off the frame let me know. Pictures would be great also if possible, I will be waiting for your update, thanks.

Try South Texas Muscle Cars STMC, they had a couple of convertibles that I bought parts of. There is another guy in Quinlan, TX that advertises on Craigslist for frames and rear ends.

STMC - 281-251-7931 Gary or Scott

Got it on the lift yesterday. Looks good from underneath. Just to clarify, are you looking for a bare, stripped frame, a rolling chassis or ? Thanks, Bob.

I haven't heard back from you about your quest for transportation. I talked to a guy that brought a body shell from here to the Northeast for someone not long ago. If you're still interested, let me know and I'll put you in touch with him. Thanks, Bob.
