found 1972 plymouth fury

[Rwc]

In my job I travel pretty much all of New England and try to keep a look out for prizes on the side of the road. Today on my way to a meeting I spotted a 72 fury on the side of the road, but couldn't stop. At the end of the day I routed back and looked it over. 72 Fury's are one of my favorites. I need another project like a another hole in my head.
So I stopped and it isn't perfect, but still has a current inspection sticker. Gray with a white interior. Tan carpet. No one was around so I opened the hood expecting it to be a 318 car. Nope. 440 with a really nice new dual exhaust. Waiting for the seller to call me for the price.
And then struggle of what to do with it...fix it up, or use it for donor parts for my 70.

Plymouth: Fury 2 door hardtop

what are the odds of two 72 Furys being in New England in similar colors and being for sale?

It is. I have been working a deal on a 69 that's pretty ratty but has some goodies on it. When I saw the 440 my inner child strated taking over.

I'd say pretty slim.sure looks the same and sure it is, but the one I looked at didn't have a 318...

I thought the same thing but I dont see rust on the bumper and Rwc is swearing on the BB.

Locate the rust on the rear bumper and then you've swayed me

Ugh. I know it is, and now gonna go back and look. I may be a simpleton, but there was not a 318 in it. Or I had a flash back to a good time e in the 70's

[polara71]

[polara71]

DON'T TRUST ME!

Are you a politician?

 

[Rwc]

It's the same car. I had a really dimb spell. I have a fury with a 318 and should have known, just a dumb moment and trying to hurry

 

[polara71]
