Hey Ben, great to see all the progress you are making. Did you save the original tank and emissions canister? If so did you line the tank with anything?
Keep the documentation coming.

I did not save the emissions canister, which was a mistake. The original tank was badly dented. I used a 1973 tank and canister.

Post#1 has wrong information
Revised History (@Toolmanmike Is there any way to put a note on post #1 to refer post #307 for corrected history?)
*Through a Facebook group for Fury GT owners, I met Rob who is a previous owner of my 1971 Fury GT. I got his phone number through a Facebook message. I spoke to Rob, the 3rd owner, on the phone today, 2024 – 04 – 19. I am writing this post to correct numerous errors in the history that I received from Dan Corley in post number 1 of this thread.
*Rob owned the car in partnership with a friend from 1994 through 2000.
*The Fury GT was still running in the mid-1980s, because Rob 1st talked to the rancher 1985-1986 in Las Vegas New Mexico who owned it at that time. The rancher was in his 70s. The rancher did not want to sell. The story about the car being off the road since at least 1978 is false.
*The rancher, not the 1st owner in Colorado, is the one who removed the original 440 block because he had problems with it and it had poor gas mileage. He put the 383 2 barrel in the car and was driving it with the 383 2 barrel in the 1980s.
Around 1990, the rancher in Las Vegas New Mexico, traded the 1971 Plymouth Fury GT to Quality Chevrolet in Las Vegas New Mexico. The rancher traded the car in on a truck, which makes more sense for a ranch. The story about the rancher dying while the car was at a service station is false.
*Rob saw the car on the back lot of the Chevrolet dealer and asked about it. However, he came back a week later, and the car was gone. He did not ask where the car had gone.
*In Las Vegas New Mexico, the local Dodge dealer was Art’s Dodge. The car next popped up on the back lot of this dealer. Art had bought it from Quality Chevrolet. In 1994 Art died. By that time the dealership was solely a used car dealership. All the cars on the lot were sold off.
*Rob and a friend split the cost of the Fury GT and put it in a storage lot in Albuquerque New Mexico. For 6 years they alternated paying the monthly storage, while the car sat. The car had the GT medallion on the trunk at the time. After 6 years in storage, Rob and his friend sold the car to a local car trader in Albuquerque. That car trader sold the car to the classic car dealership in Missouri, where Dan Corley bought it. My opinion is that Dan talked with the local car trader and got the story confused or the local car trader lied.
These are some 1990s pictures that Rob shared from the storage lot in Albuquerque.
