    It would have to be a '72, that is the only year they made them in that body style.

    Wasn't 1972 the only year for the Skylark based Suncoupe?

    Yep, I believe so. The others were Century's or Apollo's.

    In 2008 board member "75Riv" (Rob) and I visited board member "staged70" (John) in St. Louis, MO.
    That was the first time I saw a Suncoupe in the flesh :TU:

    The second one I saw was in November 2014 at the "Saturday Nite Cruise" in Kissimmee, Florida:

    If you can get the top bows, and frame. One of the Suncoupe guys might want them. If the vin# is there get it. I believe someone has a registry and trying to document all of them they find. I'm currently looking at one for sale to purchase.

    Smokey15 So old that I use AARP bolts.

    Sure looks like a real restoration project! Whoever cut the 1/4 panel off sure didn't know what they were doing.
