Thank you fellow FCBO members for bringing to bear such a fantastic forum. This place validates my unhealthy appetite and obsession with all things Mopar C-Body.. I feel like I just joined a gang. I love large, fast, powerful American cars of the 1960s and 70s.
I live in Brooklyn, New York and own a magnificent 1967 Plymouth Fury VIP pillarless 4-door hardtop. Her name is GG, after my favorite color; Chrysler Code GG-1. She's got her original 325hp 383ci Commando HP big block with Carter AFB 4299S 4bbl carburetor. 727 Torqueflite Auto, 8.75 rear, 3.23:1 gears. Dealer installed a/c.. ps and pb. As of this post her odometer reads 14,410 original miles. I bought her from the original owner. Purchased new from Carl Mozingo Auto Sales in Newton Falls, OH. A Church car that had never left the 44444 zip code. She is unrestored, unmolested, all original with zero rust. To say she's a survivor is an understatement. I figured it more appropriate to tell the full story with more words and photos on Photo Garage and the Early C-Body/The Slab-Side Years forum later.
I keep her in a private 2 car garage which I rent up in North White Plains, NY just north of NYC in Westchester County.
I travel 1hr and 45mins by public transportation for each visit.
I'll include just a few photos right here because, well, no matter trainwreck or concours everyone loves to stop and look. I actually joined this forum when I first got GG in late 2015, but have only been lurking, learning, and loving it all in the shadows up until recent weeks. I'm partial to Plymouth Furys, and most slabbies and fusies-- and through FCBO I'm becoming more attracted to New Yorkers; the Broughams of 1976-78, the early 1960s, as well as the 300 letter cars.
I need lots of help and info to get GG running like a top once again. Mechanical and electrical mainly. I have done a lot myself already towards getting her road worthy, info which I will share as I go.
I will offer any help and info I may possess.. I'm not a mechanical wiz but certainly learning as I go.
I do not like convertibles.
I do respect everyone!
Happy to be here,
Alex
