That was excellent. Totally enjoyed that video. With each one of my C or finned classics, I've always tried to imagine what they had been through/what their previous owners experienced in them. Nice someone took the time to put this together. Thanks a lot...now I really want a 67 Polara or...

Huge improvement! Way to go :thumbsup: Would love to see the rest of your car too! Bob. PS...I've heard of vintage car radio repair shops that one can just send the non-working radio to. Never paid attention though. Even heard of places that will renew all the guts inside...Hemmings...

Can I ask where you bought your magnum 500's? I see them on Summit with free shipping and also on Specialty Wheel for the same price BUT they charge over $200 for shipping. They look the same but who knows? Just wondering before I take the plunge. Would love to see some photos of your...

Thanks for your advice guys...It's all well taken and will be on my mind as I move forward with repairs. I'm in the process of replacing rear brake hose, both rear wheel cylinders, rear shoes and have had drums turned. Rear brake fluid does not look too bad. I've sprayed the full length of each...

Very nice...thanks for posting photos of your beautiful 67. :thumbsup: Bob

:rofl:

No sure grip on this car...I turned one hub forward, had my niece watch the other side. Other went backward...and visa versa. So...can I use just regular 80-90 weight gear oil to top off rear end?

Thanks very much guys...Sure is nice having knowledge come my way. I really appreciate it. Although I've been driving and fixing these great C-bodies for nearly 40 years now...I still have a ton to learn. I'll report back. I did not top the MC off with anything yet...but I'd only use...and...

Can this be done with car on jackstands...all 4 wheels off? If so, how? Also: should I hear anything when I spin rear hubs by hand w/ drums removed? Thanks...I appreciate your input/help.

Unscrewed the rear end fill plug...it's not completely full but level was about and inch down from the bottom of the hole. Inserted a long stick and there is plenty of oil in there. Upon further inspection the right rear brake seems to be too tight and the emergency brake definitely needs...

Gorgeous! That's "the look" I'm looking for. With the recent purchase of my car, the seller gave me a set of 14" painted (silver/black) magnum 500's with the stainless trim rings. They have Cooper Trendsetter 215/75r-14's on them with good rubber left, BUT the whitewalls are on the inside...

I too like the looks of the 67-68 Furys (especially the standard hardtops) much better without skirts, but try and find a set of rear wheel lip moldings! The skirts give a bulky lead sled look. Without skirts, (quick glance) they look more like Roadrunners from the rear. I've already been...

Hogshead...I take it, is the fill plug? Just unscrew it and stick my finger down in there...to see if I get any oil on it? Could I also just insert a long stick in there as well that will go all the way to the bottom to see if it's bone dry? I was kind of surprised to see the plug is 1/2 way up...

No kidding...you have me thinking now. I pulled all 4 wheels today and didn't really find anything wrong with the brakes...All 4 drums came off rather easily. I did notice the rear hubs are very hard to turn though with trans in neutral. Is it possible that's whats going on with my Fury? Bob

Yes, the 67-68 Fury III's had the fastback roof...many more were fastbacks in 68 if I remember correctly. I currently own a 68 Fury III hardtop (not the fastback), photos below. I use to own a 68 Monaco 500 but don't have any photos its package try...sorry.

You guys are very funny. I enjoy the camaraderie here. Thanks for all your kind comments too. It was 70 degrees here yesterday. I had taken the car out for a short run the day before and all seemed fine. After checking all the fluids, I decided we'd take the car for ~30 mile round trip drive...

Thanks guys...Great advice and well taken. I'll leave the emblem on the trunk lid as you're all right, attempting to patch holes and match/blend paint might just be a nightmare I'll regret. Isn't it something...I use to work at a dealership in 1977-1978 doing body work, painting, and doll ups...

Thanks guys...wow! Great encouragement here at FCBO! I appreciate it. I really like the car A LOT and feel really blessed to get it. There isn't even one door ding in the body side moldings, wheel opening moldings...(or body panels). They're still so shiny too. Unbelievable! All the original...

I found/bought this 68 Fury this past weekend and accepted delivery last night. The seller advertised it as a 54k mile survivor. I remained skeptical throughout our 4.5 hr. drive until I walked up to the car and inspected it in person. I handed over the cash soon after. This is the best Mopar...

I take it you recently purchased this fine 68. I remember seeing it for sale. I would have been on it if I didn't just buy my (turquois) 68 Monaco 500 last fall. I am in the Rochester area also. It sure would be fun to get together sometime...at a cruise/show or something. I never get any C-body...
