FK3 Sport Fury
Hoser in a toque
I took a chance and bought this 71 Sport Fury sight unseen and somewhat long distance just before X-mas last year off Kijiji as I didn't want a derby guy getting his meat hooks into it and destroying a hard to find car.
Middle of last month the weather looked like it would be decent for the next week so I took off on a winter road trip to pick it up and was pleasantly surprised by it's overall condition when I got there.It's still quite solid except some rust in the rear lower quarters and a few small spots here and there like on the bottoms of the front fenders and inside the trunk but all could be patched easily.There is some bubbling under the vinyl roof but the roof itself is good so it can stay on there.Car is pretty straight except the drivers door skin is pretty gnarly and some of the quarter right behind it has some damage as well.Underneath,the rockers,frame rails,and floors are all nice and solid.The car was originally from the US and was factory undercoated so that must have helped.I'm not sure how long it's been in BC but the seller claims he remembers seeing the car in the area for a number of years before he ended up with it.
It was originally GY8 dark gold with a white vinyl roof but had an inside/outside,top and bottom color change along the way to it's current dark grey with black vinyl roof and black interior.
The motor in it appears to be a 360,which it's coded for,and has been out and painted and runs terrific so I'd guess that it's been rebuilt not too long ago.Big bonus there.I was able to get it yard driving and the trans seems ok but it's going to need some brake work,at least a master cylinder before any real road test.
The interior is not bad although it's had a dye job from it's original gold color to black and needs a headliner in a bad way along with some re-assembly.
It was a well optioned car when new with A/C,PS,PDB,tinted glass,radio,light group,undercoating,etc.Pretty much nothing electrical seemed to work so it's going to need some attention there but it appears to be close to 100% complete so I shouldn't need to do too much in the way of parts hunting.
Here's the pics that I'm sure you all want to see:
