Lads -- My SonoRamic Commando Powered '60 Fury at the 2023 Colorado Concours d'Elegance. That is virtually the original exterior and interior: Twilight Blue Metallic and Oyster White. Interior same shades. Joe Godec

Bama -- How about these? Joe

Lads -- I've heard the story about the scare SonoRamic Commando Power emblems being shipped in the trunk although I've not been able to confirm it. However, the ones on my Big-Tailed Beast ('60 Fury 2 dr H/T) most likely were installed by using the old Mark I eyeball as there is a 3/4"...

Lads -- Thanks for the lead on Rock Auto. I was able to get the switch (for about 98 bucks) from them. A friend of mine and I put in about four hours of hard work punctuated with beaucoup profanities, but we got it in yesterday and it seems to work fine. Thanx again, Joe

Blu -- Thanks for the info. I'll give 'em a try. Joe

My '65 Sport Fury's passenger side brake lights don't go on even though the tail lights and right rear turn signal work perfectly. Going through the electrical system, it seems as though the turn signal switch itself is on the fritz. Can anyone refer me to source for such a critter? I would...

Fury Fan -- Regarding "But if you just bought the car, would you immediately tear down to the short block and send the heads off just to put hardened seats in?" Actually, I almost did. On the Vette, I had the engine completely rebuilt just a few months after I got it and on the ram-inducted '60...

Fury Fan -- True, but why have ram tubes and two big 4-barrels if you don't flog it? My idea of "hard usage" in town is foot to the floor, screaming tires, howling unsilenced air cleaners, roaring exhausts, and billowing smoke while blowing away some "tuner" in a pacific rim SEE-dan with a...

John -- Good point. So much of that replacement stuff nowadays is foreign junk. Found that out especially on a wiper switch on my Vette which came apart in my hands. However, I'm pretty sure that Mancini stuff I got back in 2002 is real MOPAR as it's served well all these years. But I'll...

Can you remember which MOPAR electronic unit you used? My go-to is normally Pertronix, but I'd use a MOPAR unit if there's one out there that is easy to install and works well. Tre -- This happened back in about 2002 when that old dual point distributor conked out while I was driving to a car...

Lads -- I'm an old fud that not only had a Fury with the ram-induction engine back in 1960-1964, but I also was fortunate to have acquired another back in 2000 (which is still in my stable). Some points of interest: - I run the highest octane unleaded but with every fillup I also add about five...

Lads -- I can't address the specific reason or reasons that Chrysler gave up on the Inland shifter, but I can tell you that after I replaced my '65 Sport Fury (365 HP/426 CID, 4-speed) with a '67 Coronet R/T (375 HP/440 CID, 4-speed), the difference between the two was all too obvious. Although...

PH -- The car still has the fan shroud and the seven-blade fan. Joe

John -- In 1965, there were two different clutched fans: one was the Thermal Control Drive which sensed the heat from the radiator and engaged the fan if it were needed to pull more air through the radiator; the second was the Torque Control Drive which allowed normal fan operation at slow...

Lads -- As you might expect, the viscous drive fan on the 426S on my '65 Sport Fury is gone, and probably long gone. Not that I want to have a "concours" car, but the spacer between the water pump and the fan makes it obvious that the mill is missing something under the hood. I've been able to...
