what happened to those John ?
I sold the first one. It was originally a Chrysler zone rep's car that had been reworked by a local Mopar racer. He had reworked the engine installing a Racer Brown cam, manual valve body in the trans and a six barrel intake from a 69 A12. By the time I got it, it was a little beat up, the previous owner had rubbed a guard rail with the right side. He was in a wheelchair (a 64 Plymouth had fallen on him) and he had fitted the car with hand controls. It was white with a black vinyl top.
That car was the ultimate sleeper. I took the six barrel set up off for my Roadrunner and eventually changed the trans back to a regular valve body. I drove in for a few years, using it for daily transportation and a tow car for my drag car on the weekends. It got a little tired though and I moved up to a NYB for my towing and sold the car. The guy that bought it knew what it was and the last I saw it, it was sitting next to his garage. Never saw it since though.
The other car was one I had seen for years. Beautiful red with black top and black interior. A good looking older woman drove it. I had lusted over them both for a number of years. I got a call from a friend one day.... "You still want that car?" My jaw dropped... He got a call from the owner at the speed shop he worked at and she wanted the car gone and asked if they knew anyone that would want it. He knew I wanted that car! If I picked the car up that night, I could have it.... for free...
I grabbed the trailer and snatched the car that night. The owner didn't look that good up close... and neither did the Fury after all those years. Turns out the rear frame had rusted so bad the leaf spring had come up through the trunk. I was disappointed, but it was free, so that's how it works out sometimes.
It really wasn't fixable at that point and my then wife wasn't real keen on another old car sitting around, so I stripped the car out and scrapped the body.
I really wished I had both cars at the same time..... The red one would have made a great parts car. Things that were screwed up on the white car were nice on the red car.
