Hi, just acquired this '66 vert from my buddy who past away about 1.5yrs ago..figured I'd build it in his honor. Anyone have any leads on a rear seat, doors, rear view mirror and chrome top latch pieces that screw on to the windshield frame? I'm located in NJ but would pay for shipping as well, Thanks

Awesome. I'm supposed to have a Ruby '66 vert in my future too, we'll see, I'm still waiting.

Are you going to start a thread on it?

Unfortunately I sold most of my 66 convertible parts off already or Id be happy to help supply..... soooo.. Ill just offer some advice.

You will need to source mainly 65/66 parts .. especially the doors and rear view mirror.

Most door window parts will interchange 65-72.. but 66-67 are a match.
(1967 uses a specific door latch so the door body and latch mech will not interchange. )

You "can" use 68-72 doors.. just have to modify the body to accept the later latch..

A few 67 parts will interchange easily.

Rear seat frames 1958-1967 are the same.

Top latches and windshield sun visor mount/ top catches are 65-67.


Better buy what you need when you find it is the best advice.

So I found the original doors off my car, found a rear view mirror but needs a lens. Also found a rear seat back and bottom from a 66. Still looking for a deal on these catches below for doors and top, Thx.

Dude! I just finally got my '66 vert, same as yours, and I had a wake-up call when I found the paint code label, Poppy Red. I'm sure yours is the same, sorry for the confusion with my above post, I really thought the car I was getting was Ruby.
And I'm sorry about your buddy, I also got mine from a buddy, but he's still with us, just wanted this thing out of the garage.
