Hey I was wondering if anyone has changed any of their cars from a coup to a convertible because I just want to know how much it'll cost.

save your time.. save your money,
sell the coupe and buy a ragtop.

I believe there is a company that sells a conversion kit for 65-66.

Not worth the time or money IMO.

It can be done with a LARGE infusion of cash - more cash than the car is worth....

The above response is correct - you're much better off just buying a 'vert than trying to build one. :nono:

You could just make it a roadster. AKA no top. Don't know your location so that might be a bad idea. If you do cut, you have to add additional bracing to the floor structure to make up for the loss of roof integrity.
