For Sale Niiiiice-looking Fusey in Illinois on CL

[drpreposterous]

'69 New Yorker that looks well preserved for $5200 in Illinois. Not mine. Wish it were.

[drpreposterous]

And not far away in Rockford, IL, a '68 300...
1968 Chrysler 300

 

[drpreposterous]

A short drive to Akron yields a '72 Newport that looks sharp as well. But I sure would love to rip off that dealer script!

Whoah. Nice finds. All lovely well-cared for cars.. very sharp looking Newport indeed drpreposterous. I'd like to take all 3 please.. and all three can be had for around 15K total!
I think it's time for members to pool our resources, acquire warehouse spaces throughout the nation, and establish the official FCBO Club for collecting, preserving, maintaining, and most importantly, driving what we see before us.. these beautiful original survivors! Also for warehousing c-body parts, and keeping an up to date archive of the collection, as well as registry of all our personal cars.
Who is with me? Any nominees for President? Seasoned senior members perhaps?

(Ok, ok.. and proper full restorations too. Hell, the various regional club chapters could even eventually run full restoration shops for c-bodies only. One big happy resource-based family continuing to help each other out).

*Yes, I know I'm new here.. and no, I haven't even properly introduced myself yet on the welcome wagon forum (which I will), but this community has got me very excited about it all.

So which one will it be Doc? I thought you were into something with a lower belt line.

This line kills my enthusiasm every time:

This car when driven gets a lot of looks and thumbs up and is a hit a car shows

No fuzzy dice, tho.....

I looked at this car when he was asking more money, he's still asking too much.....The distant pictures hides all the obvious flaws. Its rough, has black cloth type tape all around the front window with rust coming thru, big dent and bend in right front bumper, rough interior, crappy repaint with runs, and under hood rust-sea side car???

I'd take those add-on front bumper guards and grille lights off the blue one and drive as-is.

Ya, Matt, but the more I look at Fuseys, the more I like. Besides, I'm relegated to wishopping until Spring, '18 when little graduates college (sigh).

Well said my friend!! Well said... I'm in.

To each their own.

Oh yeah, whatcha gonna do about this one???

 

[fury fan]

Kinda funny, for having those big, stupid-***, 1970s, old-man bumperguards -- the back bumper still got a dent in it.

Those distant pics don't hide the duct tape on the windshield, nor the Mercury wheelcovers.
That is a nicely-styled wheelcover, though.
