He bought the a4 car from a neighbor when he lived in town. It's a complete car, 440 with black interior. Its been sitting over 30 years. This one and several others are on the want list. It looks solid unlike the 69 a4 fury.

Picked up the 59 today, sounds like the fjord is no go. So the owner and I are talking, and he says , 'I've got a 74 , I was going to pull the engine and put in the 59" hmm , I say, let's go look. Turns to be a 69 newport, 383.

Sold off the Dodge 58 grain truck to a guy south of town. We got to talking and he told me of a 59 Coronet he rode 4x in to California as a child. He describes the car in detail. Hmm, it couldn't be.. so we take a walk to the shop. Sure enough the very car. Seems the previous owner did some backhoe work for a much needed water line at his fathers property. Some cash and the car were taken in on trade and the car not seen in decades. We ended up doing some trading on 2 engines and the 59 for a decent 76 TA, I happened to know someone looking for a TA in that color. So the TA went down the road too.
 
As found, 66 Sport Fury, sitting approximately 40 years in a quon set. The owner worker at a scrap yard , passed, the son has too much to deal with. Got this and a same color parts car. 383, 4 speed, Dana 53? ( looks like a 8 3/4) got it out of gear, and 1 wheel needed persuasion (brake removal) and it now rolls. Gonna work on freeing up the 383, if not a 440 awaits.

This was a fun thread!

Quite the 3 year break, glad you are putting more into it.

Joining in for the entertainment. Sorry I can't help with the tag.
 
Picked up the parts car and a few goodies. Engine still stuck, so will be checking the 440 over.
Working a deal on a model T roadster and honda 350f.

The owner worked at a wrecking yard most of his life, and has quite the collection. Another farm has the Packard collection, I haven't made it there yet. The son is dealing with an overwhelming collection.
