After years driving around the bush, my only go-to is a pair of 25' jumper cables made up using old welder cables. They stay flexible in -40C weather, simple but hard to beat! LOL

My father ran over a family of skunks on the highway and his car got sprayed underneath bumper to bumper. Was not so bad on a dry hot day, but virtually undrivable when it got wet. He traded the car on a hot dry day LOL

I'd be very interested to see those stats.

ASAIK they made 1952 Fury III convertibles in 1970 model year. I don't know of any break down by color or other options. I wrote to the historical records people and was told all production info was lost in a storage facility fire.

That "chain"truck is bit much.

What blows me away is how anyone could survive a crash like that!

Gotta watch those cattle guards!!

G'day! I've used power steering fluid and transmission fluid in different convertibles and both work just fine. I steer away from brake fluid because the roof hydraulics seem to be prone to leaks and brake fluid is bad news on painted floor pans and even worse under rugs. To fill and bleed the...

How freaking true!!!

Wow!

Time capsules are a joke! We all have stuff much older stashed in our garages and its in much better condition. Mine just past 50 years and I still drive it.

Wonder what a "self driving" car would do if that happened?

Ha! eat your heart out, I got the pleasure to not only sit in the car, I actually got to drive it! Awsome!

heheh - heard you got white stuff!!

Western Canada gets to look at the bright side I guess. At -30C with -40C windchill, it doesn't snow much. :lol:

John I think the difference is the types of gears and limit switches used. I've seen at least 4 different limit switch setups, some allow the gear to rotate 360 deg, others rotating beyond the limit switch self destructs the switch and or the gear. Basically the limits of door travel act as...

Thanks for the kind words. When I started to think about restoring the Fury I had no idea of the process, the amount of work, the cost of missing parts or any idea where to even look for help. If it wasn't for the internet the car probly would have been crushed. I decided to document my...

Lots of reading for you. How my car was wired. The relay is under the battery tray. Your 71 GT is probably the same. Note the alignment. It's not just an "Urban Legend", at least in the 70 FSM. It specifically says not to run the motor out of the car. They did specifically mention...

I've been watching this #8 and will add it to my list once someone buys it and gets it back on the road. Unfortunately the odds aren't great so it may end up crushed. It's a shame they all can't be restored, but the crazy cost to do a restore is a huge limiting factory.
