My thanks (or blame haha!) go to member Golden Banana for posting the CL ad on here. It's so good to have a Mopar again and I might not have seen the ad if not for him.

Hi David
you got a lovely Fury right there! I'm not a big fan of Fuselage Sedans when it comes to Chrysler or Imperial. But Dodges and especially Furys look sooo cool with the post! Congratulations! It's seems to be a sweet survivor!

Thank you for the warm welcome of The Fury. I don't know that I'll name it something else. I am upset this morning to find the carpet is very wet from the rain. It must be the weatherstrip has shrunk over the years. I have some new weatherstrip on the way that I ordered. I must fix this situation.

Yes, GoJo hand cleaner (not the kind with pumice.) I heard about it from a FABO member I believe. I just used my fingers to spread it around evenly, not using too much, then taking a soft nylon brush, the kind for washing dishes, dipped in a big bucket of clean water, shaking off most of the water, and scrubbing gently. Then I used damp terry cloth towels to wipe away the soap and dirt. I kept rinsing the towels in clean water, wringing them out and going over the seats till no more grime showed up. It's best to use as little water as possible. Once it was completely dry, I used 303 Aerospace Protectant, that someone here recommended. It's great stuff!

Here's my fender tag, I'm pretty sure my car is nothing special, but if anyone feels like deciphering it, that would be very
cool.
I do know it was built in Newark, DE.

GoJo also works great on softening up weather-stripping. Been using it for years to install windows, the lanolin really helps old rubber moldings.

I had a guy buff/wax the Fury, it came out pretty good. Today I did a little hand-waxing, still more paint comes off on the cloth, seems like it's getting pretty thin. Will do a search, maybe there's a wax that doesn't have that effect.
Also fixed a small tear in the vinyl seat with Bish's Tear Mender. Seems to be good stuff. There's a YouTube demonstration.

The Fury has electronic ignition, new belts and valve cover gaskets. I drove it to Atlanta and back home, no problems and 16 mpg on the interstate. The best thing is my friend there got my tail lights working, the headlight switch wasn't connected right. He had to tear apart the whole instrument cluster and lower the steering column! Now I can drive at night, that is a huge improvement.
Sadly it's a day to remember, my Dad passed away at 80. A smarter and better Dad there never was. He's in a better place now.
