It's the original engine for the car, the vin is on it. It was originally an undercover police car, the fender tag says it has the A38 package with an E68 engine and it was a special order body in white. But it doesn't have roof light wiring and was painted the color it currently is from the...
I just got my Gran Fury on the road and it has a bone stock 400 HP engine, aside from a Holley 4011 carb and points ignition instead of lean burn, 3.21 gear, and it'll spin the tires about 15 feet out from a dead idle taking off. It's a heavy beast so the actual performance isn't that impressive...
The door handles on the later c bodies are super fragile, mine broke on the thin little die cast arm that actuates the latch linkage after the latch seized up from sitting over 20 years. I ordered one from eBay but I decided to try and fix the old one. I drilled and tapped 2 10-32 holes on the...
I replaced both front and rear bulbs with OE style incandescent lights and soldered in auxiliary ground wires to them to rule out all of those things. Both sides blink at the same speed and brightness now so the only thing that it could have been was the flasher. If this car is wired up like a...
Wow, what a coincidence, I just had to replace mine last week since the right signal stopped flashing. Interestingly enough the left side still worked, I have no clue why the flasher caused that but it did. Anyway on my 77 Gran Fury, which may or may not be like the other C bodies that year, the...
I call bs, chrysler didn't offer the 400 with a 4 bbl carburetor in 1972, he needs to show the fender tag or build sheet, it should say either E68 or E64, otherwise it's just a run of the mill base 2bbl with parts slapped on it
I went and looked at this car a few weeks ago, I came to the same conclusion. I'm looking for a body that's in better shape than my 77 cop car, but the quarters and floors are gone on this one too and filled with bondo.
The rust is worst in the lower quarters and trunk, it's completely rusted through there. The floor pans have a few small holes, but the frame is still solid at least. I'm not going to pursue this car as a roadworthy project for now because of the rust. I'm just trying to get it where I can move...
I'm debating whether or not I should fix this car and drive it. It's a 77 Gran Fury that was used as an undercover police car by the Cumberland county sheriff's office. It's got a lot of problems, a broken left torsion bar, broken front door handles, dead gas in the tank and some body rust...
I recently got this '77 gran fury running after it sat around for 20 or so years and it looks like the driver side torsion bar snapped in half while it was sitting. I have no clue how it happened, it's the extra heavy duty police package bar and as far as I know it's never been in an accident to...
