How Many
The Standard Catalog of Chrysler 1924-1990 (page 411) states that 1952 of the 1970 Fury III convertibles were produced. Sport Fury convertible production ended in 1969, so 1952 is the total Fury convertible production for 1970. As to how many are left, Galen Govier in his Chrysler Corporation Production Option Code Book 1969-1971 (page 71)specs: "how may are left? 30% is the average survival rate." By his spec: there should be less than 600 left. However, his spec includes A,B, and E bodies. Because ill-informed people do not consider c-bodies as collectable/valuable, the number could be even less.

That is a really cool picture. I copied it and might use it as a desktop background. Ben

the c body is definitely less sought after. It's amazing the number of b body guys talk about how heavy the car is. Kinds fun to prove to them it's only 200lbs heavier than a roadrunner vert.
I can account for of the 70 fury verts.

Welcome.
Hello, I also have a 70 convertible and am trying to install a 1970 sport fury grill. I think I may be missing some parts, but did not take the grill out of the original car so do not know exactly how it was installed. Can anyone offer some help or pictures of how the sport grill installed that I could use for reference? any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks Jay

I installed mine as an assembly with the front bumper. 3 wires from the underdash relay to the motor: one for open, one for closed, and one for ground. Don't worry about any other wiring downstream from the relay. All your current bumper brackets are interchangeable with the Sport Fury set up. The headlight mounts are different, but not by that much. You may be able to get your original mounts to work, just manually check clearance.
If you haven't got a 1970 Factory Shop Manual yet, I highly recommend buying one on ebay for understanding the underdash wiring. If you need more pictures just ask.

Good morning! My 1970 Polara 'vert, which is based about two hours away from you, tends to run hot in slow traffic. I was thinking of adding a shroud, something @71Polara383 suggested to me yesterday at Carlisle.
--> Would you be so kind as to share your solution? Thanks a lot in advance for any pictures, and for information on where you sourced the parts!

Uh oh. What happened to the car?
Guys, do you have pics of your cars' fender tags, and might you be willing to contribute them to the "Last of the Convertibles" registry?

Fan Shroud: I got the factory shroud off a parts car that I no longer have
Fan Spacer: used 2" fan spacer with stock water pump and fan, spacing 2.5 inches from rear of radiator.
My Error: car was originally alpine white paint, green interior

I think you are right but I also added a shroud from an A Body. Still likes to get hot in stop and go summer traffic but now much better.
Sold it as a project car. Lots of welding was needed, including front frame...
Thanks again. Well now Poppy sports a 6-blade fan with a shroud. Looks factory even though the 318s did not come that way. Will report on improvements once the heat wave if gone from the Eastern half of the country and I feel like driving the car.
