Hardtop or sedan, absolutely not a problem without doors on a cart or rotisserie. A convertible on a cart, supported at each end of the rockers and in the gas tank region, would be fine. I'm assuming this is not a rust bucket/basket case scenario.

i pulled mine off with the doors,windows deck lid full interior.72 lemans though.One thing that helped me was using just 14inch rims with no tires so i didnt have to lift the body really high.
