WOW I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WITH BAD LUCK. There is another California guy on here that posted a holiday coupe up for parts yesterday I think his name is jayleo . A holiday coupe door will fit a convertible you would have to change the glass those are different.

WOW!
I guess breaking mine in on 4 jack stands was a good safety precaution and I didn't even know it.
I see the funnel in the transmission filler tube. Were you just filling the transmission and enough fluid got into the pan to allow the gears to engage?

Sorry but at first I was shocked but then thinking about it (cause weve all been there) couldnt help but smile a little.
If you dont find a door I do have an extra but shipping from Oregon would likly be a killer!
