Hi.
This is a Sport Fury.
The tri-colored emblem does not mean III.

Hello, I like the car. Kind of bad interwebs etiquette to join a discussion forum just to post an ad, though.
 
You must be an expert judging my car, why don't you step up and come see it since your only a few miles away...it's a nice car and NOT rusted out.
 
Well I really like the car and want to find it a good home so I thought I'd see if any C-body fans would want it.... I don't really see anything wrong with that but it seams like everyone just talks a lot a crap about peoples stuff here so maybe your right, Lol!
 
Reminds me of my 67 SF due to the paint but it was a white interior and still had it's white vinyl top. That one has seen better days and so had mine once it was a goner

Not talking crap just the facts.

So what are the facts. There is rust on both rear quarters and wheel arches. That needs to be cut out and and pieces fabricated for replacement not to mention the overlap of two pieces of metal at the wheel lip flange.

The car obviously had a vinyl roof at one time hence the stainless trim from C pillar to C pillar. That right there means a repaint in the past. The trim right now is hiding how many enlarged trim holes due to rust?

What is going on in the trunk and in the frame needs to be assessed since they are not shown. What is going on with the underside of the package tray and rear window channel? Been there, seen that.

Engine wise it might be ok. Suspension wise I'm sure it needs a complete rebuild as they all do at 45 years. The interior looks good for it's age.

Bottom line how would I grade it on a scale of 1 - 5 with 1 being professionally restored recently to not quite a rust bucket but needing everything. I'd put it a #4 with minimal rust as #3 has no rust. That would put the value around 3K at that point. Having someone who knows what they are doing to handle all the body work is at least 8K and up in California. That would put the cost now at 11K and that is more than a #2 car is worth therefore one better know how to do everything. Or go back east where rust is expected and loved but not here in California for something that isn't a pony car. I'm doing rust repair right now on a big Merc and you should try fabrication and a MIG yourself. After that then strip all the paint to paint correctly.

It IS rusted out. Sorry. I don't understand your definition of rusted out.

BTW, the rust convinced me I wouldn't be interested but the bungee cord holding the battery in was another nail. Not that it in itself is particularly bad but that always indicates no one gave a crap about KEEPING UP the car and the car is a Pandora's box. ASK MOST VETERANS HOW AND WHY WE KNOW. From years attending the school of hard knocks. Now, if you want to continue the debate, I'll end all discussion right here:

Seriously, freaKin HOSE CLAMPS???
Is that heater hose.
Single belt?

The whole car is Micky Moused.
$2,000.00
 
This car has obviously been owned by a succession of people desiring 20' arm candy more than a Mopar C-body.
Huge difference.
 
Guys, come on now! First off I don't see an issue with joining a site and putting something on the For Sale forum, even if he is a Pontiac guy. Also, he's not a snake oil sales man or talking trash about Mopars. He brought the car here, because we are Mopar guys, he didn't bring it to the derby or threaten to crush it if it didn't sell! It's a nice looking driver with issues, but, yes, over priced. I would call it a good starter for $3500. There are some new members here that don't have C's yet and may want to take the plunge. I wish I could drive my project for a while and then rebuild I think that's where we are at here.

I'm thrilled he came here first.
We're just checking to see if he's a snake oil salesman or asking for expert WIW's.
After a summary of WIW's is given by experts, how the seller responds is up to him.
Not saying he's a snake oil salesman. People who get defiant in the face of reality don't care in the first place.
I have no doubt that car has had its share of "thumbs ups"
 
I'm interested in his response as well, that car is going nowhere fast at $8900. At least he didn't come here pretending to be one of us first.
 
I've had a couple of homers as well as several strike outs.
Part of the hobby.

Seriously, I don't know how to take that. Elaborate please?
