No coupe doors ever had vent windows, so you're out of luck in finding
anything compatible that way.  The only way to do that would be custom...
Not sure if it's possible to cut your existing window glass without
destroying it, though.  And you'll have to fabricate the seals.  You
could probably use the same support post, guide, hinge and lock hardware
from the pre-85 4000 sedans' vent windows.  The window trim along the
bottom needs to be modified and the "scraper" portion of the outside
lower glass seal needs to be cut short.

I wouldn't recommend doing this, though.  When it's all said and done
you will probably end up with something that leaks.  More trouble than
it's worth, IMHO.
