Thanks everyone for the kind words and encouragement... today my 70 Sport Fury project got picked up and taken to its new home, lock stock and barrel. Between getting the car into the large enclosed trailer and getting all the parts etc. out of the basement and getting them loaded up as well, it...

From what I've seen most C bodies, at least Sport Fury's, were not ordered with most of those things. About the only thing a C body might have been more likely to have than a B body is air conditioning. Power windows, towing packages etc. are certainly on the minority of cars, while automatic...

You're right - I may have been thinking of how many are known to still exist. I know it's a very small number which remain. I can't help wondering how several dozen others, being so extremely unusual, could have ended up being junked or destroyed. I believe I read that supposedly a couple or...

You hit it on the head. Others can reference your accurate post. The 6 pack motor's drop to 330 hp in '72 was mostly due to changing to a net rating, the compression ratio barely changed and was still 10.3, hwhile the 440 4 barrel took a massive hit in actual output beyond just the 'rating' method.

Ever see this article? Or this one? How about this one? Sport Fury with a HEMI: Here's a couple shots of my friend Bill's Fury's. He has several including an original V-code 70 (6 pack) getting a total resto. His white one is very low mileage, the black is a beauty also. One thing that...

Thanks. Hey, I had bought this intake setup for my car but sold it and went to a Performer RPM intake and Edelbrock carb setup. I was going to paint the manifold of course. I was thinking it was a 6 pack setup but now that I see the photos obviously it was dual quads. However not as good as the...

Thanks for the kind words. When I quit working in a couple of years I'd like to get into writing to make some extra money. I've done a couple of magazine articles a few years ago - one of them I co-wrote with someone else and we split $1500 for it. A small sidebar I added to it got me another...

Oh Lord no not that! I already went through Project Pluto one time, I'd rather have a stall converter and an HD racing automatic. Oh wait, that's what this car has now. :)

To reply to you guys and also a few other comments posted - I know I would have time to work on the car once I retire, the issue is whether I will want to spend what it'll take for proper body work and interior, nothing is cheap and maybe costs more than it's worth in the end. This car is an...

Hey everyone - this thread has been sitting for some time now, about a year and a half... Well this is the scoop: My son is now going on five years old. However my situation has changed: - A company bought the hospital where I work and my job is still intact but the question is 'for how long' as...

Wow, thanks everyone for all the responses. I've just been so backed up with work and holidays that I haven't been able to respond for a while. My boy is three years old, but the car has been sitting already as long as it will take him to get his driver's license. I seriously doubt I'll let it...

First - thanks for the many welcomes. I'm surprised to have gotten so many. I have recently learned that my employment situation is going to remain stable for the foreseeable future so I have one less financial worry to push me to let the Fury go. I'd like to finish it - I know how great it...

Thanks all for the welcome and comments. I know this car would be tremendous if I had the time and money to finish it. I like E bodies and A bodies and B bodies but if you go to the Mopar meets there are so many - they all look great but after a while they all look the same. This car in Glacier...

Hey all. I've always liked the Mopar C body cars. My first was a 1971 Sport Fury GT 440 which I bought in 1974. In a weak (stupid) moment I decided not only to build up the engine but to convert it to a 4-speed, which I did... it came out okay but I would never, ever recommend that project to...
