Don't forget that the '67 doors which share the hinge configuration with 
the '68-up doors but the '67 doors don't have the same handle layout inside 
as the later doors... and in fact have the same inner sheet metal panel 
layout as the '65-'66 doors.

All the late Vair doors will effectively interchange, meaning they will 
actually fit the cars, if you address the hinge issues etc but the inside 
panel layouts are different in '68-up doors.



We've got at least one of each from '65-'69 in the over-all 
fleet.     Actually there are two '65 ragtops, a '66 ragtop, a '67 coupe, 
two '68 coupes and three '69 coupes.    Sheesh...
