    Interchange Body Parts

    Anyone know which body parts will interchange from 4-dr and 2-dr box cars from 1979-1987.
    Thanks in advance.

    Assuming this is for your Grand Marquis, everything in front of the doors and behind the C pillar.

      window motors and vent windows should be the same as well.

        Great news, now I can look for 4-dr cars in Arizona and NM, how about the trunk lid?

          Same on both. basically the area between the front door hinge and the front edge of the back wheel is all thats different. Forward and rearward of those points the cars are identical.

            That's behind the c-pillars right?

            Should be the same, just look for the same tail-lights. Not sure if the early years match the mid years, but they might.

              Arizona?
              I came across a 2 door CV for $500 in AZ on CL. The ad say's it needs nothing... I would say that depends on how you intend to use it. Although it sounds like it would be able to make a trip across the country under its own power. It looks like the trunk lid is not included but that wouldn't work for a MGM anyway.

                VCV: Both links are the same.

                That tudor looks like it was used as a work truck.

                  Oops, here is the non-running (maybe just non-starting) $550 4 door MGM:

                  Trunk lid looks usable on that one, but the rust at the bottom of the driver side C pillar makes me think there could be more rust hiding where the pics don't show. Still cleaner than a northern car though.
