Lots of difference in the later cars. Different doors, windscreen, top,
dash, (cockpit in general), and rear suspension. Most of the rest is
interchangeable, but a later body won't look like your '62. If you really
like the earlier design and you're dissatisfied with the one you have ,
you'd be better off to find a better example of a '62 to rebuild.

If you can stay calm, while all around you is chaos... then you
probably haven't completely understood the seriousness of the situation.
