1969 98 convertible under tree.

This one owner fully loaded 98 convertible is another victim of Super Storm Sandy of 2012. This all original unrestored 98 convertible that has been in the family since new, was parked in this spot only a week before the storm. It was next inline to be fully restored that week. The only tree in the area seemed far enough away, so we thought. After putting the cover back on the car and walking away, it's now time to put her back together. For personal reasons, I am not about to cut the car up for parts although I guess the parts and all the options would catch a good dollar. Everything is still there down to the 8 track stereo. The damage is not bad, at least to me. I can reshape the body, I have repaired much worse. What I do need is a passenger rear quarter as you can see, the trunklid and rear bumper. The quarter from a 69/70 coupe or convertible will work. Any leads and we would be very greatful. Still looking for a Sable Brown with black interior 69 98 Luxury Sedans like my green 98 in the last photo.

I was able to pull the body out and back into shape. I really could use that passenger rear quarter panel. I may be able to form a mid section out of metal and weld it in, however, it would be much better to weld an entire quarter panel on. If anyone knows of a 69/70 98 quarter panel, coupe or convertible, please let me know. The car will be saved. Thank you.
