Rebuilding TRW power steering pump
Also got the dash pad back from just dashes last week, and took the windshield out so I could repaint the horribly sun beaten dash.
Just sent the speedo/instrument assembly and bezel to Instrument Specialists for a restore and rebuild.
Been nearly a year, but it's getting there a little at a time!

My "Certified" speedo on my '70 Fury III "Pursuit" is still exactly correct as when it was new.

My research into has shown that, As my car was a late 1967 production order, it was actually painted like this car below (It is a 67 in the picture, but I uncovered original paint in the door jambs to support that my car, built in Dec. 67, was also painted like this):
But starting with orders in March 1968, Texas cars were painted with the current black and white color scheme, which is how I am restoring it - hence the black engine bay.

You lost me, your car appears to have been originally painted white under the hood?
So you are restoring it to a later paint scheme than originally to the car?
Was your car repainted while in service to the later scheme?

That's correct Alan,
My car was the white body/black front door scheme used in 66/67, due to it being ordered before the new paint scheme. Only a handful of 1968 model year cars came in the earlier scheme, the vast majority being black body, white hood/roof/trunk.
While it's not what my car was originally painted, it is correct for the 1968 model year - and is simply more visually appealing to me.
So I guess to sum to: original paint scheme for my car, no.
Correct for the vast majority of 1968 Furys ordered after my cars batch, yes.

Sorry this is off topic a bit............................
25 years ago I almost bought a 67 Fury III former Texas Patrol car 440- 4-speed. I have a few photos somewhere. It had the correct bumper guards etc,.......I'll see if I can find the photos, I thought you might be interested in it.

So Back in 1994 there was an ad in Hemmings for a 67 fury, 440-4-speed. The seller stated it was a former Texas State Patrol car. Special ordered by the head of the TSP. It had the radio and siren in the car. I know the hood scoops are not correct, as the seller stated the previous owner installed them. I have no way of knowing if it was a true TSP or not, but the car was a real 440 4-speed, the bumper guards look correct. This is all I have, if I remember correctly it was $5,500 which was a kinda a lot then, but super rare car. PS23L________ where is the car today?????

I seriously doubt a Fast top Sport Fury 440 4spd was ever a TSP car.
I understand you're only repeating what you were told, but it's too much to accept as possible.

Wow ... wish I could time travel. Real TSP or not
Great progress and thanks for the updates and esp pictures.
It's your car and is going to look fabulous they way you're doing it.
