72 cutlass convertible

I found a 72 cutlass project that is kind of ruff. It needs a lot of attention but I got the car at a price I could not refuse. I need to find a parts car I would prefer a 4 door car as I am sure the car needs a trunk lid...any one have any leads on a parts car cheap......Also, would any of you take this project on, is it worth it. The car needs 2 floor pans the trunk pan might be able to be saved..and it will surely need a trunk lid...I have done one of these before and sold it in 2016 but this is a tall glass to take on...what do you think. I was having trouble uploading more pictures but I have more

What state are you located?

a four door parts car will limit you on parts you can use on yours. Lots of parts guys on here that may have what you need.

For whatever it’s worth, this car reminds me of two cars that I looked at in Central Texas last April. If I recall, they both needed a lot of rust repair on every panel for being Texas cars. One of them had the wrong frame from a hardtop (not boxed). I decided to pass on both cars. They ended up selling for $1,000 as a package deal.

Calif. Parts Car

Here's a 4-door parts car on eBay. It's a California car so rust may not be too bad.
