    Just bought a 70 2 door post skylark and was wondering if the car is same length, etc as regular 2 door skylark. Door panels the same, roof the same etc. Just bought a project to replace my supercharger 71 GS and not sure if I like the 2 door post because it looks longer or maybe it is just me. Thanks. Also looking for both fenders and standard skylark hood if someone has them. I am in California. 760-440-9966

    Same length, same fenders, hood trunk deck. The door panels I think are different hwere the post comes up. I canot be sure about that. My post sedan made a very cool race car.

    Both coupe and sedan have the same wheelbase.

    Front and rear door panels are different as well as all the side glass, and I believe the roof has different reinforcements welded in.

    Aren't the post sedan cars lighter? If so, is the weight savings due to not having all the extra reinforcements?

    Good luck with your new project. I loved the 71 super-charged GS455. So, sis you sell it finally??
