Trifecta for the week ('70 Fury III Convertible)

[MTMoparfan65]

Today I got the final car of a three car deal I made last week. I traded a '67 Lincoln Continental suicide door convertible for this '70 Fury Convertible, and the '71 T&C wagon and '71 Chrysler 300 I've posted previously.

I haven't looked at the fender tag yet, but what I know so far is that it was built with a 318/904/8.25" drivetrain, manual drum brakes, and had A/C. It's been repainted and has a new top, but some assembly will be required. I have both '70 and '71 Sport Fury grilles/headlight assemblies, plus it came with the '70 Sport Fury hood with blinkers. I'll likely drop a 440 or stroked 400 into it.

I think I'll also put on a set of black GT stripes to break up the vast "orangeness".

Sorry for the sub-par pics...

It's only money

So yesterday I broke out the catalogs and got online to put together a spreadsheet detailing the parts I think I'll need to restore the Fury convertible. Of course the significant expenses are an engine build (440), the interior, and a rebuilt trans. I already have '452 heads with hardened seats, HP exhaust manifolds, 3.55 gears & Suregrip for the 8.25" rear, and a set of road wheels w/caps.


Attached is a snapshot of that spreadsheet.

Now double it... D

I used to do that. I found that it was hopeless to try.

You are going to use a Big Block with a 8 1/4?

Psych. I've got a couple of C-body 8 3/4" diffs to choose from that I can swap in. I bought the 8 1/4" parts for a Dart.

As for the spreadsheets, a real eye-opener is how much I've dumped into my '67 Satellite.

It's at $33K and

I bet I never gave a specific figure my entire life.
Not worth talking about it.
If I gave a specific figure, 1/2 of you would look down at me and 1/2 of you would look up to me.
I've even starting to erase numbers now.
