I'm going to be parting out the below '66 Sport Fury carcass and was wondering about the stub frame, if it will fit other years than just 1966, or possibly Dodge/Chrysler models (a bit of a stretch I'm thinking). I plan on selling the frame (and other parts when I get around to dismantling) and...

I am somewhat regretfully selling my Sport Fury. I've purchased a '66 Formula S (from my brother), and as such, need to sell the SF. I'm asking $7,900. The car is in Poulsbo, WA. It's a factory 383-325hp / 4-speed / "742" 3.23 open diff car. It has manual steering and brakes. The car runs well...

My wife and I recently met a gent who happened to mention he had a '61 Chrysler convertible in the garage. My ears immediately perked up and I asked if we could see it. "Sure", he said. He bought it in the '80s from a local wrecking yard in driveable condition but then let it sit for 10+ years...

My '66 383 came from the factory with a Carter AFB and doesn't have the velocity valve above the secondaries like I was used to on other AFBs I've had way back in the dark ages. The problem is that there is a noticeable bog if I floor the pedal, but if I gradually open the throttle so the...

I took the plunge and bought a carpet kit for the beast. And since the old console would look horrible with new carpeting, I redid the console too. So, without further ado, here are a slew of photos of the process. Interior stripped (I put some Rustoleum on the rusty areas before laying the new...

My brother-in-law's brother built this house and is finally finished, after taking 4 years to build it in his spare time (he's in construction and did most all the work himself). There's hardly a straight line to be found anywhere on the house. Obviously it's more difficult to build a house like...

I was recently in Fremantle, Western Australia, and saw this '68 Newport Custom pull into the parking lot. The owner said it even came with the personalized plates when he bought it. I imagine it's a bit of a challenge to pilot a left hand drive car in a right hand drive world. I also saw a...

Today's Hemmings FOTD shows a '66 Sport Fury 440 convertible that the owner says is one of two produced in '66. From my meager poking around the net, all I've come up with regarding production numbers on '66 Sport Furys is that specific numbers don't exist, and that they're lumped in with other...

I'd like to hear from you folks which is more to your liking, vintage Supermags on my car now or put on steel wheels and some '66 Charger spinner wheel covers I have. I'd have to acquire the steel wheels and have the tires remounted, so it would be some cost to go to wheel covers. In the photo...

Mice are cute and all, but looks can be deceiving. The photo below is what my eyes feasted on after pulling the drivers side panel off in the back seat. It doesn't look like much but if you look closely, you'll see the forward area full of mouse nest, about an 8"x8"x4" mass of 'stuff'. I was not...

Not sure how many folks are interested in getting their original clock working (if it's inop), but I put a webpage together of how I did the deed for my '66 Fury clock. I'm thinking most all clocks in our 60's cars came from Borg and they probably used the same internal mechanism for the most...

I've been perusing the local Seattle Times newspaper archives and found that I can search on pretty much any term and get results, like for instance, 1970 440-6-barrel. Ok, so I didn't get any hits when I used 6-barrel, but I did get some hits for 6-pack... This first one was in the 1970...

I don't know why I watch Gas Monkey Garage. Must be that fall off the ladder a couple years back that has messed up my brain. Anyway, watching these characters try to start the motor in their supposed million-dollar '67 Firebird, they crank the engine over. Fire belches up the carb. Turn the...

I decided to pull the rear seat back out of the car tonight in my second attempt to find a broadcast sheet. I'd pulled the rear seat bottom out a few months ago to look for the sheet but alas, no joy. Tonight though, success. I also found this attached to a rear seat belt.

Anyone know where I can find a vacuum advance canister for the stock 1966 383 in my Fury? I've searched the net and come up with only NOS parts for big bucks. Rock Auto only has canisters for ~1972 and newer big blocks. I found out yesterday my vacuum advance has a hole in the diaphragm. I think...

Ok, I'm a little stumped. What we have here is a '66 Sport Fury hood-mounted turn signal indicator. I see a knurled piece for the bulb socket but I cannot for the life of me get it to loosen (WD40, heat, pliers, vice grips, pretty much everything short of snapping something off). Anyone here got...

Yes, I live in Washington State. No, I'm not a football fan. So what to do when everyone is at home watching the big game? See what the local Goodwill stores have to offer. I actually found a couple good DVDs, Vanishing Point and the original Italian Job. And I happened to notice the Seahawks...

I'm sure it doesn't sound like much but I found a hood ornament for my car. And the icing on the cake was that it was only $26 shipped to my door. And it's got patina... matches the shape of the rest of the car quite well. Oh, and with the metal dash in the car, I can again put up my little...

Has anyone done research on the dealer codes written on the white maintenance tag attached to the glovebox door on these older cars? I can't seem to get anywhere online.

On the passenger side of my intake, there is an oil line coming off the intake bolt (hollow, I presume) in front of the heat riser. The oil line then goes to the rear and attaches to the block next to the oil pressure sender. I don't see this on any 383 photos I've looked at online. Anyone got...
