It tis a real GT indeed, it was posted in another ad with a green 69 Fury originally posted by boydsdodge. See post here called NOT MINE - 1969 Fury III and a 70 Plymouth sport fury GT (440) I’m glad it has its own separate post now! I believe Charles (or @67valiant 100) wanted the road wheels off of this if someone bought it.

More pictures for posterity including the fender tag, its definitely seen better days and is a parts car but its got potential too as its a real GT.

Glad I’m not going crazy, thanks for confirming that I can’t see it. I wish I could post it but I can’t find it, I’m hoping someone else can.

A shame, looking at how deep those tires are buried in the dirt, it has been there a very long time and was probably a restorable car
when parked. Let’s face it, owners like this that save a great car, like a GT, with the good intentions of restoring it one day, get sidetracked or life just gets in the way…..making the remaining GTs more valuable and unattainable.

They rode down the assembly line together.
Pretty cool!

OK. SPD determines order down the line.
How many cars are produced in a days time?
How far apart could vin's be on the assembly line? 100K/ entire vin spread ?

No.
The SPD is simply an administrative function and a rough projection of scheduling. We find it on early documents sent to dealers well before actual production date could be known.
Plants don’t really care about the SPD or VIN. They are simply numbers to them. The car gets built when the car gets built regardless of the SPD or VIN.
Cars are built well before and after the SPD. There is absolutely no way to deftermine production day or comparable production sequence by a VIN or SPD.
Some plants printed broadcast sheets on a sequential basis. This is one relatively reliable way to compare production order between two cars. If the broadcast sheet sequence number between two cars show a difference of less than the average production capacity of that plant, one could consider they were in production aka “on the line” at the same time.
Shipping documents to dealers showing cars with consecutive VINs could infer cars were on a trailer at the same time indicating the cars were in production at the same time.
Average daily production varied. Small plants like LA or Newark built far fewer cars than Lynch Road or Hamtramck. We can use VINs and some published records to help determine model year production. (YET…..sometimes those two sources do not balance.) Then, we know how many days were in the union contract (~ 250 days) so we can determine a rough average daily production.

Somebody over on FB just posted up that they bought this car.
Here's a picture of what it looks like cleaned up.
Some more to identify it from the rust/rot marks on the front of the hood and you can just barely see the aftermarket valve cover in the engine bay picture.

@67valiant 100 have you conversed with the new owner at all? Looks to me like someone was going to convert it to look like a factory 6bbl

No I haven't, it's a new Fury group that I think I just recently joined as it popped up in my recommendations.
Supercharged Classics (author/buyer) sounds like some dealer, never seen them before in the other Fury groups and the last pic of his post was only 32 minutes old and I think he said in another post with someone that just got a blue 1970 Fury GT that this cars floors were toast but the frame & rails looked good whereas the guy with the blue GT said his frame was rotted. I'll check this later this morning to see if there is any more chatter.
Oh and also the rear wheel wells have been cut (rounded) for big monster tires, you can see it in the cleaned up pic.
