>Are all year model doors interchangeable? (i.e. can you put late model >doors on an early model fastback?) > >charles >'69 fastback I know for a fact. YES, it will fit and work. The '62 I just picked up has a '68-'69 door on it. The only catch is that you have to use the guts and inner door panel and inner door handle - everything - from the later door. you can't (without major reconstructive surgery) use the earlier items on the late door except the door glass pain. Hmmm, wait, I just noticed that you have a '69. From '67 to '72 the doors will be the same. I think that the door latch changed on a '73. Can anybody confirm? Square, Notch, Fastback are all the same (in same years). When talking about early and late doors, '67 and later is the dividing line, where '70 and later is the dividing line for the other body panels. Major dividing lines of early vs. late: mid '64+ for headlight & wiper switches and dual carbs, '65+ for 4 lug brakes and wheels, '67+ for stock 12V system and doors, '68+ for front seat headrests and introduction of FI and Automatic - IRS rear end, '70+ for body change, taillights Evolving almost yearly, eh? Greg, do we need a FAQ on year changes? Anyway, I have doors that you might want. Shipping will be up there though, coming from Texas. Where are you?
