That was an abrupt ending, geeze!
A year or two back, while cleaning out my dad's storage facility, I finally found a picture of the old girl when she was wearing black. 1974.
From what I gather, NJSP, WSP, and Texas Department of Public Safety used Fury IIIs. There may be more.
Many towns here in NJ also piggyback ordered IIIs for their municipalities. For example Cinnaminson NJ also used Fury IIIs for '70 and '71. Even the same color as the NJSP used.
Just thought I'd share a piece of paraphernalia I found going through some old stuff of my father's. In 1971 he was trying to get his department (Lumberton, NJ)to purchase a better patrol car for their uses.
You can't find a photo itself online of NJSP's 1971 Fury III. Only models that...
I was told to steer clear of Frankford plating and the same person recommended Librandi's. That's who I'll likely use when it's time. If i didn't mind driving I'd check out Tri City plating in Tennessee.
Here's my '71 NJSP Unmarked. It's an E86 U code. From what i gather, Ma Mopar didn't install the HP440 in the Fury III A38 in '69 and '70. For the NJSP '69 was 383 2brl, and '70 they were the standard performance 440 (350hp). There is a black 1970 PK41 on youtube. It has the 440 but whether or...
According to the 1971 Police brochure, the standard performance 335hp 440 was dubbed the "Super Commando" with the dual snorkel air breather. The High performance 370hp 440 was named "Police Pursuit Special". I'd imagine that pie tin is correct. One thing I've always wondered, the HP440, did it...
Thanks for that!
Dad worked part time jobs along with his policework in the early '70s. Just before he joined the Army in June 1974, he worked as a night watchman at a local chevy dealership, Kardon Chevrolet here in Mt.Holly New Jersey. It was a decent size dealer with an oval test track in the...
Hi, yes! Real PM41U1F A38 police package. Unmarked unit from West Trenton, New Jersey State Police.
And Yes, i had the trans built to my spec. The car also has a heavy duty police torqueflite in it as well.
Thanks!, I used this paint called "Zero Rust". Really reasonable price and works great. Brushed on the first 2 coats then sprayed the last coat. Thinned 10% with lacquer thinner and it sprayed real nice. A lot of work!
