Any chance of finding a 1937 Super Eight 2 passenger coupe body?

I have a 1937 Super Eight touring sedan, that is, a 7 passenger sedan, but it is in lowsy condition, a basket case, with some of the mechanical work done, and with good body parts and dashboard. I am thinking that instead of restoring it, I might use it for parts to restore another car, and I have always loved the lines of the 2 passenger coupes from the era.

Would anybody know of such a car for sale? I am not interested or could not afford a complete car, but I am looking for a body or a 'difficult' and incomplete project, as I believe I can use most of the parts from my basket case (dashboard, fenders, bumpers, spare tire covers, wheels, etc.) but surely many of you would know better than I. I would appreciate to hear in case I am wrong.

Of course a convertible would be even better, but I assume there aren't many around to be parted.

I am in no hurry but would love to find a coupe body some day, so if any of you know of one or have a lead for one, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Victor
