ramblein and pics

[CanCritter]

tried twice now to post stuff and lost 2.5 hrs trying...3rd times a charm..part 1

saw a car done by a artist...couldn't get them outa my mind..up till 3-4 am sometimes huntin info and cars on net



decided l had to build one so started looking for 70 furys...found one in Calamar Albt...was brown in bad pic but figured no biggie gona paint it black anyway.
day finally comes to pick it up and pull seatcovers off to see how bad seats were...not a rip...tear or crack in whole interior...was amazed at the condition of the interior and exterior wasn't far behind it


like these vids

first wash



documention second to none...

in the end came to the realizeation l couldn't do much to this car other than basic maitence to keep the car orriginall..the car
was a true survivor in every sence of the word...so need to find another fury..
.Part 2 1971 fury GT to follow

PART 2...the GT

with the realizeation l couldn't touch the 70 due to it being a true survivor cast my net once again looking for another fury ...had seen a 71 fury in preivious searchs but never gave it much thought due to price which was about 15 k at the time..over the period of the year the price dropped...12---10---7 then 5k at which point l nabbed another fury sight unseen

Realy didn't realize what l had bought until l started reading and reasearching it..at that point realized l had something but wasn't shure...did realize l had a GT but this car stepped it up another level with the color combination and Brogham package as well
would like to introduce you folks to the new beast on the block..will be restored over the winter with spring completion
one 1971 Plymouth Sport Fury Brogham..ew1 h5y5 two tag car..loaded with gold vynal roof










more to follow...........

You are a fortunate guy. Most of the time when I buy something, I end up being somewhat disappointed at the description of the car that was lacking in the ad and what was not told. That is one sweet Fury III. I assume any rust is confined to the rear valence then? It looks like is doesn't have a/c even though an airtemp booklet was included in the documentation. What engine is in it and how many miles?

Even the GT is impressive, with a lot of options including the tunnel mounted cassette player, great interior, amazing trunk pan given where the car came from - and a Brougham package no less - that has to be rare on a GT. Hopefully the lower rust isn't too bad. How many miles on that one - looks like low mileage to me. I watched that car over the years too, but being in Canada and the initial price and the poor photos in the listings, I was deterred. I am very happy for you. Congratulations!

I remember this car being advertized for some period of time as you stated, was discussed around here more than once. Most interesting Combo. That's what a Hurst Sport Fury would have looked I guess.

We'll be anxious to watch it come together.

don't think so but have a 73 trunk lid ??that came in deal and have no idea what its from...thought mayby prievious owner was gona use it instead of orriginall as its rough shape..71 -73 trunk lids interchangeable on furys and would dodges be same?..in anycase have no use for it due to lock location..imagine there should be a P/N on it wouldn't there..if so will have to grab and look it up...
