    Hey Saylor---I'm liking your progress with the Fury. After I bought the car the only things I fixed or added was a bunch of misc. grill pieces. The engine compartment was as it was when I bought it. I spent little time speculating on what previous owners did to it. All I got from the seller is...

    For Sale 1971 Sport Fury 4dr hardtop, Not Mine

    Frankly, all I get from where this discussion is going is this hobby can be expensive. I bought a new 69 Superbee in 1969 when I was making $1.25 per hour. That was tough but I was motivated by the car I got to drive for a while.:rolleyes: My interest in cars over the years was ALWAYS limited...

    For Sale 1971 Sport Fury 4dr hardtop, Not Mine

    Is it not true that owning space for extra cars vs renting space all costs money? Property is never really "owned". It is used for a while for a fee. When one "buys" a car they can say they -rented- it for a one-time rental payment.:)

    1957 DeSoto

    My first car was a 57 DeSoto Firesweep 4 door. I was 15 and paid $50 for it in good running condition. After a few years and rod knocking made me call a wrecking yard to take it away.---I miss that car. In 1968 I bought a 300C for $350. It had passenger door and fender damage from a minor wreck...

    A friend of mine swaped a 833 4sp into a 57 new yorker . This was in the early seventies. I recall him saying it was no big deal.

    That back seat was illegal free a couple of days before the car left here.:) cause that's when I put the seats back in. The fury could have been a party car on the transport. Imagine the trauma of critters on a trip like that and waking up in Texas in a strange car.-EEk

    For Sale 1976 Newport 392 Hemi $6500 Cdn

    This caught my eye.--IMO the 392 is the real hemi. I remember calling -Oregon auto Wreckers- in the early seventies asking about 392 Hemi engines. They said they had a steady supply at $125 ea. Come on down and haul them away.:steering: I really like the idea of putting them back to work in a...

    PS23K8D191537 04/09/1968 W. H. Humphreys

    Hey Saylor--Glad to hear the engine made it out of the rebuild shop in good shape. I tried to take care of it over the many years and fully expected it would be a good rebuilder. Do you have any info from the trans. rebuilder? All I recall was it was working fine until a bad leak put the car to...

    My guess is that cooler was added at some point. Either that or it was tossed back in after the Ac evaporator was removed. To me, it does not look like what I would expect to be a stock item. It does not have a frame for any proper mounting. My recall is it was just laying loose behind the grill.

    For Sale 1970 300/H @ Russo & Steele

    I like this perspective on how these cars are selling. It brought to mind that the avg. mix of coins one gets in change from spending paper money is $14.40 per lb. (face value -not metal value).:)

    Just thought I'd chime in here for those watching this car as I am. I am the previous owner and the last one to drive it. It was my daily driver around 1990 or so when I was commuting with it 100+ miles a day. It was reliable and smooth and used no oil to speak of. One day coming home from work...

    57 Chrysler 300 vert in Vegas.

    This car belongs in a museum. I had a 300C for a few years in the seventies. A great car that I miss. If I had lottery money I would NOT buy this car. (am not that kind of car guy) I would find a driver and enjoy the whole experience these bring.

    Oil type

    A topic like this brings back some old days. I had the early sixties Chevy two-ton truck for a while that ran just fine. I decided to change the oil shortly after getting it and when pulling the drain plug nothing came out. I poked a stick in to get it to drain.--EEK-- I also recall where a...

    For Sale Neat 300D - not for the faint of heart or those without deep pockets

    Wow--this car tugs at me in a good way. I had a 57-300C when I was 18 (the late sixties) and they were rare then. Passed on a 300D in the eighties that was asking 24K--It was a done car. I agree that bringing this car back will not likely pay off in most of our lifetimes but to just let it lay-...
