Trunk lid for a 1965 Starfire - Convertible VS Coupe

[65Jayone]

Is the trunklid the same on both convertible and coupe versions of the 65 Stafire? Mine has some bondo on the underside (visible when the trunk lid is open) and I have a line on a rsut-free lid from a coupe. Wanted to know before I pick it up...in case I decide to "go further" with the car or as a selling point if I go that route instead. Thanks!

Here is something that is going to blow your mind. Although coupe and convert decklids are different, 1965 B-body Oldsmobiles use the same decklids in all series. Parts book sez:

1965 J88, D88, Delta, S/fire, J/Star I Holiday Coupe, pn 4507192

1965 J88, D88, Delta, S/fire exc Holiday Coupe, pn 4507189

Meaning- a FOUR-DOOR SEDAN decklid will work on yer convertible! and god knows there were plenty of those built.

Of course, if you have a coupe decklid handy, this info don't help much <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />.

Interchange shows to be 65 SF and 88 converts and 4dr 88's only. I think the 2drs have a longer lid due to sloping roof line. Henry

Thanks for the answers, guys...there goes my decklid lead!

By the way, the interchange reminds of the same problem I had a little over a decade ago when trying to source a convertible trunklid for the 1970 Cutlass convertible I had at the time...back then I thought 75 dollars was an outrageous amount to pay when I finally got the lid from a 4 door.
