Looking for a Club Coupe front and rear seat. Also, looking for a club coupe (not sport coupe), drivers door rust and damage free if possible.

Won’t a post coupe door work if you remove the aluminum molding? I thought that’s why the molding is glued to the door frames as opposed to the C pillar moldings? I’m pretty sure I have club coupe doors in my stash, I’ve had them for years and years, got to take a look at them but pretty sure they don’t have the aluminum moldings

I'm not sure if the doors are the same or not. Of course you have the big holes the side trim is mounted to, but not sure about the aluminium trim by the window. I thought maybe the finish is different around the weld seams or gaps? My preference would be to go with stock club coupe doors if I can find a rust damage free set. The car I bought was hit at some point and has a gash in it as well as about 1.5" of filler. Figured some of the club coupe experts might have a set of doors stashed away.

Right, forgot about the side molding, duh! I was focused on the trim around the window. I will see if I can dig them out and check them over. I will tell you one of the doors is missing a piece of glass, either the vent window or the window glass. Some Halloween mischief many years ago and I needed to rob the glass to fix the Sports Coupe.

I have good glass, so not an issue.

I figured you’d probably have something. When you say skin you mean skin not the complete gutted she’ll correct? I’m hoping to find a complete shell at least. I have a few leads...skin may be an option if I can’t find anything else. Quick question what a body seats interchange with a club coupe. Is the front seat the same as a sport coupe? Rear seat unique because of length? What other 65 cars should I be searching for to find a seat? Thanks

all 64 and 65 and possibly 66-67 A body bench seats are the same but the club doesnt have any chrome down the side. the rear seat is club only not sure if the tempest,chevelle 300 ,or base buick skylark had the 2 peice rear door panel or the one peice like the club.

Ok, finally got to the doors in question, been many years since I've seen them. Unfortunately for you they aren’t Club Coupe doors.
Got them off a car that was given to me by a church I was doing some work for, somebody abandoned it in the lot. Stripped it down when I was restoring our Sports Coupe back in 1980. Sorry, wish you luck finding a set. If you can’t find anything I’m happy to dig them all the way out to get you some good pictures. I have no need for these doors, I’m parting out our Sports Coupe and sure don’t need two sets of post doors. Actually I don’t need any.
