    What is a Sport Fury III, or a Sports Fury?

    LOL! Yeah. The red white and blue bars mean its a Sport Fury III. Perhaps, since the 67 Sport Fury is the only one with the red white and blue bars in the vertical position (resembling a Roman numeral three) then maybe 67 was the only year the Sport Fury was actually a Sport Fury III.

    Ran out of gas ugh!

    Its not a 500. I just put those wheel covers on today when I removed the fender skirts. It came with 1964 Polara 500 wheel covers. I like the 66 500 wheel covers better, and had a set lying around.

    Ran out of gas ugh!

    My new-to-me C body vert also arrived Thursday. The gas gage doesn't work on this one either. I took it to the gas station on the next block today and put in ten gallons. Don't know how much was in there before. Figured I would start at ten gallons and then see if there are any wet spots on the...

    Mexican-market 1971 Dodge Monaco: A puzzle?

    Mexico certainly had some unique Mopars. For example the 1967 Coronets built in Mexico all featured the 66-67 Charger's hidden headlight grille. The top line 1965 Valiant Acapulco featured the 65 Barracuda grille. And while Valiants in the US were only available as post sedans after 1966, in...

    Have a priest bless my car?

    Don't throw it away. Don't wash it. Don't keep it. Next time you're at a car show, hide it in a friend's car who has a car at the show. Then, when they find it, tell them it's theirs till they can pass it on to another friend's car at another show. My circle of friends had an ugly ceramic pig...

    What's the best plan for this rust at the rear window?

    The description sounds correct. They look right to me, but hopefully someone familiar with fuselage era C bodies will confirm. Any replacement clips need to be installed before your new gasket and the glass are installed. You should also have the new gasket on hand before the glass installer...

    What's the best plan for this rust at the rear window?

    Also, assume that most of the trim clips (front and back) are likely not going to be reusable. Buy new trim clips and have them on hand before the front and rear glass is replaced.

    My New Preferred Whitewalls for C Bodies

    I have the Diamondback III redline tires (BF Goodrich T/A Radials) on a couple Barracudas and my Charger and Dart. They are also available with white walls, wide whites, gold stripe and blue stripe. The Diamondback II tires are available with the same sidewall options on the Silvertown Radials...

    Where are the 1969 Polara 500s 2 Door Hardtops?

    I thought the one for sale at Carlisle was a really nice car. But, I didn't look close enough to see the mentioned overspray underneath. I don't like the wide chrome grille surround molding either. I don't know why Dodge did that on some 69 C-bodies and some 71 E-bodies. I think that body style...

    No hidden headlights on this one, but it appears to be in Europe. http://www.history-of-cars.com/images/plymouth/1970-fury-iii-32-002.jpg

    Triple blk Fury wanted!

    With hidden headlights, it could have been a Gran Fury rather than a Sport Fury. http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/1/1451/2141/3626070002_large.jpg

    Special Order export car

    I looked at a 68 Barracuda Formula S convertible years ago that was sold new in Paris and spent most of it's life as a tow vehicle for a ski boat along the French Riviera. There were some unique features on the car. The 240 km speedometer (in place of a 150 speedo) was one. More unusual were...

    1/18 scale model 73 New Yorker

    BoS tends to release a single color. If demand calls for a second production run, they do the second run in a different color. I have one BoS 1/18 scale car. I have the black 65 Imperial Crown 4 door hardtop. Its a very heavy model with beautiful detail, especially on the grille. But, be aware...

    Fury Snapper?

    I believe the "formal" 2 door pillarless hardtop body style was introduced mid year. The Snapper package was probably a way to promote the new body style (even though the formal hardtop was just a pillarless version of the 2 door post sedan's roof). They probably introduced the formal hardtop...

    Wondering about the value of this purple 71 sport fury

    I too was on here long before I bought a C-body (C body owner for almost 3 months now). I'm a lurker on FBBO and a sometimes participant on FABO. I participate more on The Dodge Coronet Registry and the Station Wagon Forums. Love the purple Sport Fury. In the sunlight I would like to see one of...
