Need more info. What did "the prior owner(s) did what they did to it." What did they do exactly. IF they attempted to make a convertible out of a sedan by cutting the top off, then yes, it probably caved in the the center.

The converts had a different frame than the sedans. The were reinforce so they didn't bend in the middle, like I suspect yours did...

Might try putting a jack under the middle to try to get the door open.
