1969 Fury Convertible

[CudaJames69]

Hey guys & gals , I'm starting up my Fury project .

It's a '69 Fury III Convertible . It needs the trunk floor , extensions , rear frame rails , lower quarters , rear brace . Some patches here & there but I want to concentrate on this first .

Any ideas on what I can grab parts from ? I was thinking fury , monaco , 300 , newport , nyer , polara '69 to '73 . Does 2 or 4 door matter ?

I have access to a '69 or '70 300 convert parts car .

A few days ago on febay I saw a listing for b-body trunk floor & extensions that also allegedly fit . Any merit to this ?

Here's the link : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Trunk-Floor...t=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr

I was also considering frame caps - not sure if I like them though . Makes me think it will devalue the car .

So any help , ideas and advice you can give , I appreciate it .

Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!

There is NO way in hell the same trunk pan can fit a B-body and a C-body. Beware....

Stan is correct, they are not the same.

A perfect parts car would be a 1970 Fury Convertible since it shares similar dash and interior pieces.

C body repop sheet metal........

Very true.... Goodmark makes a good product, I don't know why they would list that pan for both B & C bodys.
There is someone in Michigan listing replacement trunk floor and floor pans for C body's but they are junk....! Better off making your own.
I have a 69 300 conv parts car with a perfect trunk floor...but removing it and shipping will likely cost upwards of a million dollars...or so.

Thanks , That's what I was thinking .

I'm looking for a parts car or a clip now .
It's going to take a while . Hopefully the stars will line up & I will have the money , the room & the time when I find what I need .

I have access to a 300 convert - going to check it to see how bad or good it is .
Thanks bluefury . It would be a bit . Unless you are coming to Carlisle or Ohio for the Mopar Nats ?

You guys know if 4 door floors & frame will work ?

Damn that's a lot of sheet metal work! Does the car have sentimental value? If not, you might be better off finding a more solid car and use the one you have now as a parts car. Replacement sheet metal for C Bodys isn't readily available.

I was thinking about it . No sentimental value . Although the production date is my birthday . 1-31-69 . I really like the colors . Nostolic value yes . I had a 69 hardtop around 89 or 90 .

Had a chance to get another a few weeks ago , but didn't like the colors . Was a solid running car . It was black with black & red interior . Originally white w/ red interior . It was on feebay .

I'm funny when it comes to colors . I like to repaint them the original colors . Unless it gets dipped or something like that you always wind up seeing the original color somewhere .

Found a hardtop online . Emailed the guy waiting for a reply .

All Fury speedos in 69 are the same. Fury I, II, III, and Sport Fury

is this the same Dave who wants to cut up a solid nice Fury with one spot of rust just because of a dashboard?

 

[polara71]

Its got more than one rust spot

 

[fc7_plumcrazy]

check the ad:
it says no rust except lower quarters
http://www.forcbodiesonly.com/mopar-forum/showthread.php?5624-71-fury

And that is nearly no rust compared to this project

 

[polara71]

a four door with no engine or transmission? How much should someone put into it that would be acceptable to you... you got a problem, then you buy it

 

[fc7_plumcrazy]

what is a used running gear of a 383 low comp with used 727? 1k probably.
Not much money

 

[polara71]

Right, wheres that coming from? Another C body. Where does it stop? You can throw all the answers out there but until you step up and invest YOUR money into it then its all for nothing

 

[fc7_plumcrazy]

you don't need to pull it out of a running C-body. There is lots of used engines out there. From cars that have been destroyed already. Watch you sources !

 

[polara71]

Your pissing in the wind Carsten...buy it or let it go

 

[fc7_plumcrazy]

you don't get it, don't you?

 

[polara71]

I get what your saying but your wasting your breath........
