Thanks it's not that warm, lol, and the heater does work. I actually thought about dropping the top but when it's cold it's a hell of a time to get it latched again. Original top and it's shrunk a bit over the years. Probably run errands again with it today, not as warm but still nice.

It's 33 here in Marcellus... Not convertible weather for me, even with the top up.

Reason I asked was that many years ago, a friend's sister's BF showed up with a '72 Cutlass convertible. It was about 32 degrees and we went riding around in THAT weather with the top down, coats on, of course. I was somewhat amazed at how comfortable it was driving around town. Heater on "full" too. Not something that would seem appropriate in all cases, though.

I understand the convertible top condition being a determining factor is how much it's put up and down.

Enjoy!

That is a nice Sport Fury, the Mopar Magnum 500 wheels really look good on it. I can't wait to put the Magnum 500 wheels on my '68 VIP.

This is why I never understand soft top Jeeps, the newer ones have good heaters, but the old CJ's with a soft top and guy's here will drive them through the winter.

I was out again yesterday, not as warm as Friday but still sunny. I came across this on the west side of Syracuse in the parking lot of a bar. The owner of the car & bar are the same, I went in, he'd gone out but I talked to his wife. Says he drives it most every day, an original hemi car. Dinged in nose and rust on the quarters and all.

He lives in Baldwinsville and the car sits in front of his house on Downer St, near Rt 48. It gets a little more beat up every time I see it.

What bar?

I can't remember the name, on W. Fayette, near Strathmore Paints.

The Gas Pump Tavern.

I wonder how many offers he gets for the car every week.
