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.

 

Where are you located? I'm in St. Louis and may have one to look at.

 

Jensenracing77 had one

 

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.

 

If your close to Indiana OLDSPACKRAT may have one also.

 

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.

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.

 

Thanks for the info Gary, I will give them a call. Anything worth having is worth a shot, even if it's in the dark.

 

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.

Freddy

 

Will do.

 

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

 

Rodney,

Thanks I will give them a call.

 

The guy in Quinlan is named Mark, his number is (214) 926-0119. Here's one of his craigslist links:

That's the same ad as in St. Louis craigslist. He must place it everywhere.

 

he does advertise in a lot of places,i bought a vert frame off of him few years ago. It was powder coated only pitting was around a couple body mounts, looked like a new frame, was a good guy to deal with.

 

I have a 71 convertible frame if you have not found one. I'm in Louisiana.

 

I have not found a frame yet, pm sent.

 

I did not receive pm. I'm still kinda new to site. Checking to see if you found a frame yet.

 

Yes I'm still looking, pm sent again. Last pm didn't get sent.

 

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.

 

Freddy, sent you a pm. Are you still in need of a frame? I removed the body yesterday; frame is nice. Thanks, Bob

 

What is your budget? Here is a complete car not too far from you:

NO DEAL between us . Rolling chassis/bare frame still available.

 

You have a pm rocketman

 

Replied to.

 

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.

 

Have one under an abundant project that I would consider selling. Frame was blasted and coated with POR15. $3,000 Firm located in Austin
