You are insane. And I mean that in a good way!

The interior looks amazingly good when compared to the exterior.

Have you checked Ebay for the grilles?

Per the owners manual, the tail gate unlocks by turning the key to lower the window, locks by raising it. Makes sense, as you would not want to lower the gate with the window up. Since you had to help the window down, maybe the locking mechanism has not released. There is a safety mechanism...

I keep a flat piece of metal in the trunk as a jack base in case of soft ground.

That Fury looks like a solid starting point for someone. No fancy power stuff to worry about, it's about as simple as they come for someone who wants an old car to play with. It will never be something you would be afraid to drive and enjoy.

WRT = with regard to

Crazy? Maybe. How well do you know the car? Tires good? Brakes good? Wheel bearings good? Brake/fuel lines not rusted ready to leak? Any parts waiting to fall off? Have you done some shorter shake down cruises to look for potential issues? Cars were meant to be driven, it comes down to how...

Check also that the right front hose has not collapsed internally, blocking return flow.

^^^^^ What he said. I restored my dad's old Camaro. It came out really nice. Then I never wanted to drive it, for fear of pockmsrks, dings, and scratches. It took all the fun out of it. I had more fun when it had the old paint, rusty quarters, etc.

Paint and interior in homage to this?

Looks like the radio antenna is missing too. Maybe the car took a hit to the right front and the fender was replaced with a junkyard one that had the cheapo side marker light on it, and it was never removed. If the body is not full of bondo, and the mechanicals are good, it could be a fun...

And it looks like someone installed JC Whitney side marker lights, but the only one left is on the right front. What happened to the others? Right front wheel trim is wonky, and door gaps look odd. At first glance, the car was very appealing, but upon closer look, it is scary. And if it is in...

@MYSINBIN I thought you might like an update on Mr. Brown. First of all, I often saw him on the roads with that car. I could tell it wasn't pristine, but I had no idea of it's true condition. I figured it could use new lower quarters, but that is about it. I don't think I ever saw it with the...
