Lets Play A Game: Last Of The Convertibles

While taking a coffee break today, I happened upon a 2020 post re: PM27G0D15798? (the last digit is missing) -- does anyone recognize this G-code Fury iii 'vert? The SBD must have been Nov. 12, 1969 or the day before based on my records. It has the M4B3 blue two-tone vinyl bench interior with front venter armrest. No idea if the white paint and top are original -- from the sills, I suspect that the car has been repainted, possibly in the original EW1 color. The engine bay has definitely been repainted. I see H51 manual A/C, L31 hood-mounted signal repeaters (which suggests that the car has the A01 Light Package ). Interestingly, the car seems to have manual brakes.

The photos from the ad (from a dealer in Batesville, MS) live on ClassicCarBays:

I have not seen CE27L0C148406 mentioned anywhere, so here are some photos for records. Apparently, this 1970 Newport 'vert was located in Miami, FL at the (unknown) time she went up for sale. The engine bay has clearly been repainted, and the exterior color does not look original either (FT6 Burnt Tan metallic was AFAIK not compatible with the E2Y4 interior):

@kyle340 advertised this 1970 Newport 'vert back in May 2020. He kindly posted the tag. SBD of October 28, 1969. Here it is for records. Perhaps Kyle can update us on what happened to this EB3 Ragtop (repainted white if I see correctly; the top was originally V3W white but is now black).

A Plymouth Fury iii, for a change! PM27L0D144022 's owner shared her tag with @70 Sport Suburban and told him it was fine to post it here. FF4 paint with M4F8 two-tone green bench interior and V3W vinyl top. Scheduled build date of Oct. 23, 1969.

Thanks to @70 Sport Suburban we have another Fury iii

PM27G0D180071 was recently for sale in Wisconsin. The new owner shared the tag for posting here. She seems to be EB7 Jamaica Blue Poly (aka metallic) paint with M4B3 dual-tone blue interior and V3W convertible top. SBD Dec. 17, 1970 -- tomorrow is her birthday!

Did that ad come with a translator?
 
Today we have one of 8 surviving (at least, as far as FCBO public info goes) T-code Fury iii 'verts. This ER6 red beauty was owned by Legendary Member @Fury440 from the time the car was first sold to the time of his passing 4 or so years ago. It is for sale in Ontario.

As I wrote before, these pop up for sale in Finland once in a while:

Thanks to @Kaim we now have the fender tag and some history for CM27T0C113618 -- a 1970 DR8 300 'vert that was originally bought to Finland from Sweden and again recently sold in Finland. Nice color combination (burgundy metallic paint / black buckets with buddy seat / black top), and a small but nice set of options too.

SBD was Sept. 9, 1969.

It may be curtains time for DL27G0D101373. There are a number of threads about this car, which is one of the earliest produced 1970 'verts -- the fratzog bumper is still there. The fender tag is missing, but @69CoronetRT took a stab at recreating it based on available info (on the assumption that the EB3 paint matches the original):

V01 V5B
V3W A04 M25 M31 M85 R11
EB3 L2B3 EB3 80? ??????
E44 D34 DL27 G0D 101373

At least we have the VIN tag:

VIN 01010_joeLoB9KilB_0CI0iP_1200x900.jpg


The car looked much better (at least, potentially restorable) when she was for sale in Illinois a few years ago. Now, sadly, such is no more the case: she is for sale in Wisconsin as a parts car or will be crushed.

That car had a 50/50 chance of getting restores a few years ago when I last saw it.
Probably 90/10 odds now. Shame.
