Looks pretty good for a 61. That is not a 383. It is a small block poly engine. I know they had different cubic inches for them.

383 has distributor in the front pointing out to pass side at an angle. The ploy engine distributor is in the rear pointing straight up like this car.

maybe he posted the wrong photographs?

Nice project car.

 

[68 4spd Fury]

Being a California car it should be solid. However, if the Lister doesn't know a 60 from a 61 or 383 from 318 I'd be suspicious.

 

[BLIMP]

Hot damn that's a fair price!

Four door HARDTOP police car??

If you look at photo #9 in the ad, the example car is parked at "Dobie" lane. Suspect that is what this seller has been smoking. Do not see anything that identifies this vehicle as a police cruiser unless it came out of a real small town some place. Cruisers of that era, as noted above, were either two or four door sedans, usually with a 361 or 383 engine. 3 speed transmissions were still popular on cruisers in '61.

Unusual to see a fury cruiser that year. Most were Savoys or Belvederes. This was a 2 door sedan.

I can't remember ever seeing a 4 door hardtop 61 Fury.

Never smoked that **** (pot), so I did not keep up on the slang. Was around a bunch of useless individuals who did and made the decision not to wind up like that.

Knew that. What was Dobie short for Dorene?

Dorothy.

Dorothy.

Probably better than my wife's friend's nickname, "DODO" also short for Dorothy.

Her aunt called her Dottie, she hated it. DODO doesn't sound good at all.

My grandmother's name was Dorothy...grandpa called her Dort

IF that's a former police car, where's the documentation of such?

The Poly 318s had different valve cover designs than the similar B/RB engines. The other giveaway is that small throttle bore Carter BBD 2bbl, with the small float bowl that 318s always had on them. Interesting spotlight!

NO municipality would have bought a Fury for a police car, typically. Savoy, maybe Belvedere, but not Fury. And that headliner!!

Get that funky paint off of it! Put back something appropriate. Re-do the interior and headiner. THEN the car can be worth money!

Just some thoughts,

If you ordered a copcar it was a sedan not a hardtop. Not saying Chrysler didn't make a hardtop police package, but I have never seen one.

 

[PBWFury]

Not a police car.
