1971 Sport Fury GT - New Owner of the Vegas GT

[Trailer Park]

Hello everyone, I just thought I would show some pictures of my 71 Fury GT that I bought last year. First, I will quickly introduce myself - my name is Rob Thomas and I live in the Las Vegas area. A couple of years ago I bought a 65 fury convertible and as I did research on the Furys, I slowly gravitated toward the Fuselage style Furys. For some reason, I am crazy about these. I seem to always be on the hunt for them and it is driving my wife crazy. When I brought my GT home my wife said, "It looks like an ugly 70's car from a bad 70's movie." Most all of you are familiar with this car as I have seen pictures of it pop up from time to time. The color is GY9 - which I have mixed feelings about - but it is a GT. Here are the most recent pictures of it:

Nice!!!! Did/do you find/have the build sheet.....
Did Lewis knew the history of the GT....?
I talked to him but can,t remember....

Having the original wheels on the car really makes the car look that much more special.

saw it a few times at MATS.

Please take good care of it.

I am a stranger I would leave the original paint as is. It is original only once.

Super cool car, GY9 one of my favourite colours I would just clean it up and install an new vinyl roof and new interior and drive it.

I like the color, it’s different and who knows it could be the only’71 GT in that color.

I was there and remember seeing it. Can't remember the asking price but it was pretty high at the time.
