The car does have quite a back story prior to the seller's attempt to "restore" it by using the majority of a 4 door sedan.
In his thread it depends who you ask if it is a rebody or restoration.
As far as I am concerned, given the provenance of this GT it is another one saved.
I saw this car 20 years ago sitting in National Moparts yard minus powertrain.
Nigel sure can tell you about this car for sure.

I think he took unesessary flack for is it or isn’t it s SFGT. Guess he got tired of the project, seemed like he was making some decent headway.

rebody or restoration

That's always a blurry, yet hard line with people when it comes to restorations. I think he has done a damn good job at grafting the two together.

Its an 8500 dollar 4 door Fury with chunks of a GT grafted to it.

Its not the GT anymore, and won't be ever again.

Believing it is a GT would be like me sticking my 71 Polara Broughams front clip, doors, tags, etc onto my FK5 shell, and saying I restored my Polara Brougham.

In such a severe case the only real difference is the order in which things were cut apart and whether the numbers on the body were suspended on wires on a rotisserie while replacement metal is reformed around them or cut tags go in another body.
The physical car is the same afterwards.

 

[71Polara383]

The car was very rough, but salvageable and could have been restored.

Not anymore. GT is history.

All you'll end up with is a non #s matching drivetrain in a 4dr converted to a 2dr with body stampings that dont match the fender tag or vin.

 

[furious70]

Well of course, either order you cut things you need to cut all the numbers out

So if the owner had used a 2 door parts car and nos sheetmetal would be a resurrection or a rebody?
Same result with no intent to defraud anyone
Attention all of the "harbor gate keepers to the Port of Mopar" - btw i saw other fender tags posted in other threads without :authorization:
Red Alert

That is some very talented restoration work and i see talent like this is rampant here

Missing pictures to keep the pieces of the puzzle in order. So without going into a long read I take it he grafted a 2 door roof and quarter section onto a 4 door unibody?

I thought I recognized this car. Huh this is unexpected to see, maybe he ran out of funds to finish it? He did a great job combining the 2 cars together though
