Lets Play A Game: Last Of The Convertibles
- Thread starter 67valiant 100
- Start date
Here is a Newport for a change. CE27L0C157328 went up for sale in Colorado this summer, but the fender tag never showed up. Here is the build sheet for records (@69CoronetRT, @cuda hunter).
FY6 Citron Gold originally, now repainted slightly differently. Gold vinyl bench interior, not many options but a nice car and in good shape. I hope that it went to a good home.

O replaced by 0 in the VIN -- correcting here for records.
I think I saw this car once.
I'm fuzzy on where though... It might have been at Carlisle around 1992... or it may have been at the Mopar Nats (last year that they were at Indy) 1984?
I don't remember the convertible top and no, I didn't take a pic (film and processing costs LOL) I do remember it was just sitting by itself, kind of parked in a strange place, so I'm leaning towards the Nats...
And it I can ever afford it, it's returning to Silver Metallic, or Platinum as it was known.
Drum roll: thanks to @fc7_plumcrazy I was alerted to a 1970 Polara 'vert that has was just listed for sale in Bury St Edmunds, UK. The seller sent the build sheet (@cuda hunter and @69CoronetRT will be disappointed that, not for the first time with a Polara 'vert, the build sheet is not filled and only has a few characters handwritten with a big marker pen -- that was my experience with Poppy, my 1970 Polara 'vert).
The fender tag that the seller also shared is rusty but more useful -- looks like DL27L0D270075 (I don't think it is DL27L0D270073 let alone DL27L0D270078 -- please chime in folks), an EW1 with the A35 trailer-towing package. 383-2 only, but that tow setup is a big deal in my book. The seller is asking 3,500 pound sterling, and this may be worth it if the car is solid. Caveat emptor, but I hope it gets saved.
Scheduled build date: May 25, 1970 (again, that is rusty and hard to decipher, but is consistent with the sequence of 100+ Polara 'verts in the registry).

Hope the new owner takes better care of it.
Out in the elements. Out in the dirt.
Today, I submit a Canadian-market 1970 Fury iii 'vert: PM27G0D113098 has a C-VON. Not many options, but very nicely taken care of. The car was originally FK3, was first repainted white, then purple. For once, the non-OEM color looks great. SBD was August 29, 1969.
The car is currently for sale an hour south of Calgary in Alberta, Canada.

As a Pastor I should buy this car; God comes with it!

Thanks to @67newport we have another EB7 300 'vert. Unfortunately, this one (for sale on FB in East Canton, OH) is in poor shape:
"This is a roller, no drivetrain. Has body filler on outsides, floors are good, trunk has some rot but solid overall. Bumpers are in decent shape. Interior and engine bay taken apart but most parts are inside car. Have the metal inner fender wells as well. Clean title in hand in my name. Asking 2000 obo"
The seller posted the fender tag, so we know that the SBD was Nov. 6, 1969. The car is well equipped, including H53 ATC.

I spoke with this seller back in August, drive train was long gone.

Just got an alert, this one was reduced to $1500. This would make a great parts car, I only wish it had been around when I needed one. I even see a power antenna in the front seat, dang.

Thanks to @detmatt in this thread, we now have the tag of PM27L0D233366 -- a special order FC7 Plum Crazy Fury iii 'vert. SBD was April 27, 1970. Very nicely equipped for enjoyment (R35 AM/FM muptiplex radio, P31 power windows, N88 cruise control, S62 rim blow wheel,...). I linked in the thread to posts by @fc7_plumcrazy and @hankchinaski explaining how the car was sold to Murray Park cars ago.

Ooooo, I love it. That's definitely a rare one!!
AFAICT, we don't have a record of CM27T0C166973 even though the fender tag and VIN were posted by @barnfind in a "for sale not mine" thread back in 2018.
EB3 repainted baby blue, Nov. 18 SBD. As the FS thread shows, the car was quite rusty -- I have seen no evidence/mention of the car since then.

When I make mistakes, I try to correct them. I just noticed, while looking up records for a member, that I had misread the tag of CM23T0C147731 and mistaken the car type -- it is a 2dr hardtop, not a 'vert. Sorry, CM27T0C147731 never did exist...
Here is CE27L0C237481 -- an EB7 Newport 'vert (repainted white at some point) with E6X9 black vinyl buckets interior and V3X black top that @dart66gt considered buying in 2014. The car was in rough shape then, and dart66gt stopped posting in 2015 -- I have not heard from him or seen the car since.
Here is the tag for records, showing a SBD of May 15, 1970.

I don't believe that I have seen this link to the 1970 300 Hurst convertible posted before. The VIN is CM27U0C231583. According to the info here, it is 1 of 1 -- I do see the Q VON, and the exhaust tips and rear bumperettes match those of George Hurst's car that @Fury Pursuit owns. The fender tag is the same (watch Trev’s video at 10:54).
Interestingly, the SBD on the 'vert is May 5, 1970 (not like 300 Hurst coupes that all have the sam January SBD, if I remember @Trace 300 Hurst correctly).

That'd because this car isn't a 300 Hurst (obviously). And I would guess that Trevor's car has an SBD "all its own", too. I think Trevor disagrees with me on this, but all Hursts I've seen including those online (and as we have discussed here) have the January 25 SBD but a range of dates on the VIN door decal, mostly April and May from what I've documented.
Here's the fender tag from the prototype Hurst, with a September 24 1969 SBD.....as a 1970 car, starting life in FT6 livery. (0 in the VIN)
