Delivery paperwork indicates it was sold to an Elmer L Books in Cleona PA. That's likely a slight error - there is an Elmer M Books in Cleona PA who passed away in 1985 and records do not state any other family members including children named Elmer. I'm guessing he was a retiree who decided to...

I'll give Phoenix credit for trying, but really their kit was a mile off of looking like the originals. Nobody who knew what a '71 Fury GT looked like would have been fooled for two seconds. It was very different than the 70 by the way. Trivia - the original stripe kit used at the factory was...

At an idle, a stock fan with a shroud will solidly pull air through the radiator. That flex fan without a shroud will not pull a fraction of the air. It shouldn't be that hard to find a stock fan and shroud; definitely skip the flex fan. And if the car has A/C, all the more reason to go with the...

Just a side comment on the 70 SFGT vs the 1971 SFGT... I owned one of each. The 1970 GT came with either the 350hp 440 or (very few) the 6 pack motor. The 1971 GT came with the 370 (or was it 375?) hp 440, no six packs are known to have been made (though I saw a photo of 6bbl hood graphics...

Are you sure of that? I've seen and owned Sport Fury GT's which came with bench seats, why would a 69 Sport Fury have buckets? Or was that how it was in '69?

He can preserve it as is if he likes but please don't be living in my neighborhood with such an eyesore. This is really just sad, like 'Wasn't grandma cute in her hobo Halloween costume?' and thinking it's OK to bury her in it. Nobody really wants to see that.

He wanted eight grand for that rusted clunker? I think you'd have been crazy to buy it at any price, fixing a rusted unibody is just huge. You would CRY if I told you what all I sold two years ago - a 1970 Sport Fury nearly rust free with a drag strip car driveline, new new new parts galore...

I myself have no pictures of it up close but it's maybe 7/8 to possibly an inch wide, each section is maybe a foot long? - there are three per front fender, and it's inlaid with black plastic that has little ridges or grooves that run crossways (not lengthwise). The front piece has the beloved...

I always liked that fender top trim on my '71 SFGT...

When I was 19, one Saturday afternoon under the inspiration of too much beer I came up with the idea of converting my 1971 1-of-375-built Sport Fury GT to a 4 speed. Eventually it was completed and not done badly but in retrospect I wish I'd stayed sober that day, and left it the hell alone. My...

Just my .02, don't put a smog motor in any car. It would be much cooler to leave the poly motor.

Love the car, HATE what he has done to it. Everything says 'tacky' including those K-Mart surface mount speakers in the back seat area. (Which by the way undoubtedly have caused holes for screws and wires in very hard to replace side panels.) And really, big low-profile tires/wheels just look...

Now THAT is a very sharp looking car. A real head turner. Bet you can't park it anyplace without people asking you about it. Cars like this will be the Auburns and Duesenbergs of the future. I think Pontiac had most of the best looking cars of the 60's and very early 70's but this matches any of...

Waxing a vinyl roof is going to fill all those little cracks and grooves with wax that will turn white, and getting that out will be impossible without chemicals or scrubbing that are bad for the vinyl. Use something that is meant for vinyl.

"Rare Cadillac with trunk located in the front."

Check out the breaker plate. They can wear out and then they don't hold the points steady; your dwell can change back and forth while you drive. I had that happen with my 71 SFGT with a 440. Replacing the breaker plate was easy and cheap, and after that the dwell held right where it should be...

With all due respect, even if the observed flaws are there, this is 100x the car a Mirada is. I know because I owned one and it was far and away without question the single worst car I have ever owned. It was junk from the very day I bought it as a 'low mileage executive car' from the dealer...

If you wait long enough, eventually you can sell most anything. To be honest I think that's more than the market will bear for such a car. On the other hand, if I were looking for one, it might be worth it to me to pay that price and do a resto rather than spend a lot of money and time looking...
