Yes. It was a remote affair. The car in question was also a 64, titled
as a 65. It did appear to be original.

It's hardly a bother. I'd consider it a simplifying step that can't be
done with other (unibody) cars. 12 bolts (or less) and two people. If
the sills (rockers) are in poor shape though, you'd be well advised to
weld some temporary stiffening bars in place of the doors before you pull
the body. The advantage of a separate chassis/body almost negates the
advantage of a rotisserie.
