Default 1967 Bonneville convertible trunk floor

I know the best rust free examples are out in the dry west but before I go down that road does anyone on the east coast have a good rust free one? I am trying to save some money on shipping before I take my search out west which I will most likely have to do but perhaps someone has one closer? Mine is shot and will require a complete floor. Thank you.

I have a floor from a Executive that came out of Ohio. It's not rust free, but I can post some pics if you'd like to see it.

Hi Steve, hope all is well and thanks for the reply.

Ideally I would like an original but the best reproduction many said was the Swedish version a made a while back for 1965 to 66. I would consider that one but no one has ever confirmed on here per a Hollander manual if a 66 Bonneville trunk floor is the same fit and pattern as the 67. The Classic 2 Current floor is thin and requires too much work/reinforcement to fit like the original. One of our club members installed one a few years ago and said if knew the amount of work needed and the quality he would have rather worked with an original.

I don't have that manual and I also have never seen a good photo of a 66 Bonneville trunk floor to compare to a 67. Maybe you know?

Arrow Floor brace removed

One brace was removed so the floor could be sectioned for another project car, that was sold.

Post Floor

Obviously the frame to floor mount areas rotted away a while ago. There is some floor drop sides left, but rotted where the quarters met them. It is from a Executive 4 door and I have not measured it. I can tell you there's more than enough material there to do a Gp or Catalina floor. From what I can tell the repops don't have that hump in them and not sure the stamped lines are the same. There is a few holes drilled through the pan from when the spot welds were drilled out to remove the brace... oh, and that light colored spot in the first few pictures is a mud wasp nest.
