Adam, I may know of a 1990 AAN converted CQ that would be available. Not for 
less than about $18k US though. Very nice car. Here's a link to his AW 
picture poster...

Thanks everyone, I'll send some emails and make some calls starting
today.  All things considered I would prefer to convert my coupe, if for
no other reason than it is easier for me to explain why the existing car
looks and sounds a little different to the wife than having to deal with
the reasons for buying and selling another car (she just doesn't
understand).

Of course if your car was exactly what I was looking for .........  Do
you have basic details, photos?

Adam

I misread the original email. I agree with Dave, waiting for a converted
car
for sale may be dutile. There aren't that many to start with, and those
are
mostly in the hands of enthusiasts, so prying them from their fingers
won't
be easy. I know mine won't be for sale any time soon.

It's a big project but a relatively fun one. If you aren't equipped to
do it
yourself, find a shop you can work with to co-opt the job and do the
parts
you can. Or if you're so inclined farm the whole thing out(I gave you a
contact yesterday) and sit back and let someone else do it.

Good luck, and hopefully we can say welcome ot the club real soon.

Mark
