For Sale 1970 Fury III convertible (sold at auction)

[wish4hemi]

This '70 Fury sold at a local auction yesterday. It ended up going for $2,600.

It was mostly complete, 318, blue on blue, buckets/center arm rest, 76,806 miles, missing back glass, rusted through in the quarters, some bubbling on the front fenders, minimal options, clean title, built on Halloween of 1969.

I'm only posting here for discussion and record of value. The car did find a new home yesterday.

GOD's car is worth saving yup.

edit ... oops

any interior pics?

 

[wish4hemi]

Sorry, no interior pics. Interior was in pretty decent shape and complete. Needed new carpet and a dash pad, but the rest looked decent. Hard to say what was underneath the damp carpet.

I don’t know, it literally says BID for Y35 in the White Book. I have no idea.

 

[polara71]

BID? I am searching and find very little in explanation

Let’s get to the bottom of this.

 

[wish4hemi]

I think I remember it being a Y05, although the picture does not show as much. Y05 would be Built to U.S. Specifications.

I think it's some kind of Delivery code.

 

[LocuMob]

Aren't the codes in numerical order, Y05 before Y14?

 

[69CoronetRT]

Y05.
Y35 would come after Y14, not before.

 

[detmatt]

Ok so what is the Y35-BID stand for? Even though it doesn’t apply to this tag.

I'm not much of a numbers guy but that is an interesting build date. What does the GOD mean again?

G= 318
O= 1970 model year
D= Belvedere plant

It could mean a fleet sale like a cop car (DK sheet) or it could be a car that was intended for leasing like through a car rental or Chrysler leasing place (PE sheet). That's why the VONs are important. They help determine original purpose or intent.

sometimes I jump the gun but I looked at that long and hard and simply only saw a 3
