I promised to start a new thread for my first car project ever and here it starts. I will use first posting as the history and technical detail sheet and then add pictures as the projects proceeds. As the project has been started when I bought the car in 2011, I will have a bunch of updates to do.
So here it goes...
1967 Sport Fury Convertible
The car was bought on Christmas Eve in 1966 in Great Rapids, Michigan. I have been able to contact the 2 sons of the original buyer and have been exchanging few emails. Unfortunately they had had the car for less than a year because it was crashed quite badly already in fall 1967. There were few documents (or what was left of them) in the car's glovebox and I can see from them some history starting from 1997 until now. I have the names of the previous owners, but it seems that finding email addresses is impossible. But the years between 1967 and 1997 are totally in darkness. Perhaps Fury has been laying somewhere in the fields...
