I believe that would be a fairly easy conversion if you could find a wrecked five hundred. Of course you would be missing the extra chassis reinforcement that was installed at the factory in the five hundred e.

It would still be a sweet car though.

If you could do all or most of the work yourself you could do ok financially with it. If you hired it all done you would be underwater, I believe, but You'd have one sweet coupe.

Best starting point would be a coupe with a weak or bad motor and a wrecked five hundred e.
