right up my alley, but it'll go for prob abt 10 grand........a '61 v-8.........would that be a 318?

The listed car has a 318 in it, but 361 and 383 could have been had too.

I was checking it out too, 10K would be a good guess I think. Looks like an honest original. 318 with straight shift is unusual. Looks like the optional all vinal interior too.
Would be great to show up at Carlisle with two 61 Fury Convertibles...

The first time that ever happened

Will, are you bringing yours?

I'm planning on driving Jazabelle to Carlisle in July.

My 61 is a running, driving car but i'm planning it's restoration now. Not a inexpensive deal. The steering wheel, dash pad and interior trim panels are pushing $3500.00 already. With these cars the trick is to find one as complete as possible. This blue one seems to fit the bill. I have requested a pic of the data tag but the car seems to have mimimum equippment. I see power steering and what looks like the optional all vinal interior. Can't see the dash area. I'm hoping the interior is the original because my car was so equipped. I think my seats have been redone sometime in the past and no one I have found ever remembers seeing that option on the 61 Fury, (Introduced Dec 15, 60).
This car does not have the aero wheel, can't tell about the padded dash but that was an option and likely not on this car. Need more info but it looks like it would be a worthy candidate for a restoration. It will need a rear bumper after being cut for the hitch, not a big deal.
I'd love to have that jack assy..... At least I know what to look for now.

I think Mark is blue because of the car thing....

[mdh157]

[polara71]

Dont worry about the car thing, enjoy the hunt. I know its tough but the search is fun and shouldnt be looked at as a chore
