I haven't posted to this group in a while, but this week marks three years since I took possession of my 68 Fury III Fast Top, which I bought from Gateway Classics out of St. Louis. I love, love, love this car. I've had to do some work, but she is a wonderful purchase.

Some photos of my '68 Fast top after I changed the wheels over to some Magnum 500's, and tried her without the skirts for a while

Welcome! That's a really clean looking Chrysler fast top! I like the Magnum 500 wheels too, got them on my 68 Fury III

I have to agree on this one. For some reason the C-bodies just seem to look beautiful with the Magnum 500's. I got mine from Summit Racing (probably via Wheel Vintiques) and put them with some 215 70R15 tires. It still has enough sidewall for a comfortable ride.

I guess it's a matter of preference. I can see liking the dropped front end but to me it looks like the car is tired and sagging under its own weight. With the nose up it gives the look of alertness, ready to go, and having no trouble supporting that heavy drivetrain.

I adjusted the torsion bars up a bit too (before left, after right)

Correct, those are just the a/c vents. I wish I had the jet booster and ejection seat option though :) As for the fender skirts, I've been on the fence about it for a while. When I saw how sexy it looked after adding the Magnum 500 wheels, I justified that the car looked good with both the...

Well I finally got the disc brake conversion...in the front only. I had to have a minimum of a 15" wheel diameter for the rotors to fit, so I guess I was FORCED into buying a nice set of chrome Magnum 500's :) The brake work was done by a custom shop but he told me the rotors are 11 inch...

That is a gorgeous Fury! I like that blue and white. Also like the previous two posts

Yes these old compressors are quite a shaky and taxing burden on the whole driving experience. But on the freeway you barely notice it. I would like to keep the original style compressor if feasible, but a lot of folks have told me the one on this car is an undercut piece of junk. Here is the...

I recently bought a well kept 1968 Fury III fast top, and the a/c system does work. In fact, it looks like someone spent a lot of money redoing the evaporator core, heater core, and everything to do with the a/c system. It's been R134a converted, and I've heard that never works as well as the...

Yes, a very nice car with beautiful lines. Looks very solid too. 68 Fury III owner here. Welcome to the group!

Here is my 68 Fury fast top; it is a reconditioned survivor. Fresh paint, roof, drivetrain, carpet, seats, but the bulk of what you see is original well kept American steel. Only this one was built in Canada and now lives in Houston, TX.

I love green cars. You just don't see green interiors anymore and it's such an indication of the optimism alive back then. My last Mopar was a 75 Dart and it was green too. I always wanted a green 68 Fury because I had a promo model of one growing up and I held onto it like an heirloom.

That's a great looking Fury. I like the little dogdish caps. It has the same look as mine but without the fender skirts. I'm not sure I'm the biggest fan of the skirts to be honest.

I recently got the battery tray problem sorted. The car got this first class paint job, but they left it with a rusty, rotten battery tray. I ordered a new one and had it painted (not a dead on match but close enough for a cruiser), now I just have to get a brace. Been getting annoyed...

I keep asking myself the same thing, man. That was one I should have kept. I saved it from certain doom as it was being dogged out by some poor family who just happened to have that as their daily driver. I nursed it back to health and some like minded Mopar guy offered me more than twice...

These are all awesome! I love just about any Mopar wagon. I don't know what it is, they are just bitchin'! I have a 68 Fury 2 dr now but I used to have this 69 Monaco back in 1999-2000.

I'm guessing you mean the upper rad hose? Yeah I don't know what it is about old Mopars but so many of them I see with this flex upper hose that steals from the original look. I was always adamant about having an OEM set of hoses. You grow up building models you want everything to look how it...

So far I am hearing that I'll need a dual diaphragm booster, and that the Mopar part for disc equipped cars will interchange the same as the one for drums? Should I just ask (at the counter) for a standard replacement booster for a factory disc-optioned car? And ditto for the master cylinder?
