    Got new exhaust with Dynomax Super Turbos

    Hey guys, it's been a while. Got a new exhaust from local custom shop for my '68. It has 20-inch Dynomax super turbos and an H pipe. It's really quiet, especially when you consider how high the flow supposedly is on these mufflers. More of a blum-blum-blum mellow sound now than the...

    '68 Fury out for a spin

    My wife took the kids out for dinner and I went out for a nice long drive in the old boat. Luckily no flooding today or I might have needed an actual boat... Edit: still need to replace the rear springs and shocks. I hope to do that next weekend or the one after, if work allows! I've started...

    Took off front wheel well trim -- what do you think?

    As many of you know, my '68 fast top originally came with chrome-trimmed skirts to match chrome-trimmed front wheel wells. I've never used the skirts as I just don't like the skirt look on any car after the early 60s. So I've been driving the car with front trim only but the mismatch drives me...

    New generation into C-bodies

    Last weekend one of my kids had a special request as a reward for the first week of kindergarten (and our 3-year-old got into it as an honorary kindergartner) ... a ride exactly 16 minutes long in the '68 Fury. (??!! not sure what's up with the specific time, just practicing numbers, I guess)...

    C bodies at Father's Day car show -- Austin, TX

    Took my '68 fast top to a local show last weekend. Lots of fun, some great Mopars there. I was parked a couple spots over from a stunning grayish (pearl?) '66 Fury with a Hemi transplant that I think has been mentioned here before. There was another '68 Fury that showed up later, so I don't...

    Ok folks-- I know some of you have so much experience with Mopars that you see fender tag and build codes scrolling in your mind like numbers in the Matrix... what can you tell me about these? Thanks for your help! Chris

    '68 Fury III Fast Top w/ steelies, also put in new motor mounts

    Finally got rid of my old chrome mags and got plain black steelies. I got various junkyard ones and they were wobbly, more pitted, etc. than I thought, not really useable in current state, so I finally just resold 'em and got 15" Wheel Vintiques from Summit despite the warnings. $93 each with...

    Ripped a hole in a perfect headliner -- what would you do???

    Folks-- I'm sorry to report that last weekend I stupidly punched a hole in my car's otherwise good headliner. I was taking out the rear seat back, going from one side to the other to gradually ease it up, and suddenly it popped up into the headliner and tore about a 8-10" hole in it. What can...

    Popped the back seat out of the '68 Fury and found a graveyard...

    As many of you know, I've been cleaning up my '68 Fury III fast top for a couple months now after almost 20 years in a barn. I thought I had cleared out the mouse crap and nest material and it was looking pretty nice, but the interior still smelled like the end of the world. Well, I found some...

    '68 Fury III fast top -- drives better than it did 20 years ago!

    Got the Fury home now, fits into the garage with about an inch to spare. Drives and stops better than it did 20 years ago! Got the kids to help get some of the grime out. Still stinky (every day I find another mummified mouse or another old mousenest + turdpile) but getting better. It's...

    "68 Fury fast top -- first drive in almost 20 years, plus headliner question

    So today I drove my '68 Fury III 383 on a paved public road for the first time in almost 20 years! Just an initial run to see how it feels, lots to do yet. Some butt pucker moments because the brakes have not been touched yet, but it's running pretty well. Just got the AFB rebuilt and it's...

    '68 Fury garaged since 1990s with me in TX now!!!

    Hope this is the right place; the header for this area of the forum says pre-1968 but I didn't see where else to put it... Anyway, I posted in the Welcome Wagon area awhile back about getting my '68 Fury III (2 dr, Fast Top, 383 4bbl, 727, black/black, ~73k miles, parked since mid-1990s) from...
