Question Change rear end of 4dr to 2dr style

First, is it possible? If so what parts would I need and from what cars? I tried to figure this out on my own, but the alphabet soup is thick here. SS/NA, SS/TC etc.... I have no idea what they all mean except LS which is what I have.

I want to change this...


to this.


If this is not possible, what can I do to upgrade the appearance of the 4dr?

TIA

There's only one way to do this: take your sedan, sell it, buy a coupe, done. You can even do that at zero cost.

OK - what would be an alternative that keeps the 4dr, but makes it look better?

We did that on a 1969 trunion based AMX and welded on the front of a ball joint based 1974
Javelin AMX. Worked great - way too much work though.

Wasn't sure as I have never seen a coupe up close. So I take it the hard body lines are all different?

Are there any good threads that use lips or spoilers from the coupes on the four doors?

Buy a Ion redline. Quad coupe. Supercharged engine is better than the lnf. So just sell the supercharger and slap a ko4 on it

I was thinking you wanted to change at the b-pillars, but that makes more sense. As they said, I don't think it's possible without a ridiculous amount of work
