Dave, the 61-62 doors and fenders are the same. 63 is a stand alone year. Try http://www.eastwestautoparts.com/ if you can't find them. They are a little pricey but should have what you need. Pat

Default Note on '61 fenders

Doors and fenders off a '61 will fit a '62 , however, before scrapping the old '62 fender, there is a small headlight mounting tab sometimes not found on a '61 fender. You may or may not need this tiny mounting bracket. Just thought I'd point it out.

The rear end of a standard transaxle car has a plate on the rear instead of a torque convertor hanging out of it. Price is determined by buyer usually. Four -speed manual tranny ( eight hole very square inspection plate) obviously gets more money than a more common three-speed manual ( also eight hole, but more trapezoidal shape inspection plate.

Rusty control arms not a good selling point, good axle bearings are a plus. Is the rearend in question the one posted on ebay right now?.
