Just picked up a 1972 Plymouth Fury Gran Coupe

[65fury1]

I just drove down to NYC area and bought a 72 fury gran coupe. Car has never been bondoed and retains its original paint, has some rust in the quarters and small holes in bottom of fender. 70k original miles, car spent the last 12 years in a parking garage in NYC.

It needs a new top so you should just go ahead and sell the darn thing; I'll buy it! Nice score!!

Cool ................... !
Nice colors too.

Very cool. I had one of those about 23 years ago as my daily driver & it was that same color. I always loved the hideaway lights. Have fun with it.

Jon, I guess I know why I didn't hear from you this weekend. Congrats. I used to own a '72 Fury wagon and had a friend who was very into the '72 Furys so I have some knowledge about them. I would recommend changing the timing chain and if the factory foam/Styrofoam is still between the quarter panels and the trunk floor extensions get that stuff out as it traps moisture. Good luck with the car. BTW, you should start a thread on the updates etc. that you have done on the '68 VIP as others may find it helpful and/or interesting.

Congrats. What a great find! 72's are awesome looking.
Your car probably didn't spend its entire life in NYC
or it wouldn't be in this kind of shape

Transporters dropped the car off this afternoon from NY. Spent time looking over the car, floors frame and underneath are rock solid. Spent time cleaning the cobwebs out of the engine compartment, as car has not run since about 2004, prior to buying it we pored some gas down the carb throat and it fired right up for a quick second.

 

[65fury1]

Was able to do some work to the car this weekend, trying to get it to start after sitting for many years. Took each plug out and squirted a little mystery oil in each cylinder, changed the oil, primed the oil pump. Ran an auxiliary gas can to the fuel pump, fuel pump is still good,amazingly. But the car still would not fire up unless you dump gas down the throat of the carburetor. Ended up taking the carburetor off and disassembled it for a rebuild, the carb was all caked up with crusty old gas **** inside the bowl (see pic of the crusty ****), now it is soaking in cleaner until clean and then will rebuild Carburetor.
