My note: Too bad about the cheap generic seat re-cover & no headrests.

Nice looking car. I have been into Furys ever since I was a kid & my dad bought his 68 Fury III. Over the years I have not seen many VIPs around. The only thing I see that takes away from this beauty is the aftermarket "rub strip" running down both sides. As for headrests, they were not mandatory until 69 but I believe a reclining passenger seat was an option & that had a headrest.

I love these cars but prefer them in a darker color. A shame that the seats were recovered in the wrong pattern, the wrong color and the metal buttons that belong on the seat backs are gone. Appears to have a '67 steering wheel. A nice car and nice to see an asking price that is not 5 figures. One of these days I will get my bright red '68 VIP coupe out of storage and likely list it for sale.

Agreed. Worst part of an 'old man's car' is when it really looks like one! At least this one doesn't have those big stupid Chevy Suburban bumperguards on it!

Yes, the seats were the 1st thing I saw about the interior - but my seats are all torn, so I'd be OK with it. And yes, that steering wheel stands out as wrong - color and type.

Can you throw a pic of your red VIP in here for a teaser?

 

[FURYGT]

Except for 2 pictures with the back end of the car in the background of pics of my former GT, the only pics that I have right
now are scanned Polaroid pics from 2000

I know a-lot of guys hate the bumper guard look but I've always found them appealing in a way. My first experience with a C-Body was a 70' 300 that had them. With those and the coupled 18+ ft. length. It made me think of a long and wide shark approaching with long teeth. That concept has stayed with me ever since.

I think some early-build '68's had that wheel since the government regulations started Jan 1, 1968.

I was thinking that the steering wheel could be original even considering the color. I prefer the look of these cars without headrests so that’s a plus in my book, the 318 however isn’t.

 

[fury fan]

Although I've never done it, on paper it would seem that swapping in a 318 Magnum would change the personality of the car a great deal. Add a mild cam and the Hughes EFI intake and I wonder if it would almost be comparable to a stock 383-4 (because there's approx. 100 lbs weight savings too vs a 383).

About headrests, yea being a 60's car nobody cared for headrests, something about hindering reaching into the back seat area and accessing the cooler on the floor. My 2 1968 PK21's both had the all tan interior with the smooth vinyl bench seat and the optional headrests on the front seat. Practically all cop cars whether in the junkyard or on the road of the 1968/69 years I came across during the early 70's had headrests as it was a emerging safety factor and also too put the brakes on all the whiplash lawsuits.
Just something to keep in mind in tribute car vs. real cop car.
The headrests would just pull all the way out to remove and many did that. I at first didn't like them (stupid kid) but left them on in the down position.
PK21 #1 had to have some front seat repair which required a complete cover & foam removal to do a welding repair on the area where the seat back came to rest in the rear position at the seat latch pin.
Also had to do some spring repair on the drivers side, even though these were the heavy duty police seats with the added 3? coil bottoming spring perch, it must of been a moose of a State Trooper that this car was assigned too. (State of Maine). First time fun with 'Hog Rings'. I did check the seat backs and sure enough there was a sheet metal 'anti-stab' panel there. Anyway once I got the seat repaired so that I was not driving around 'Low Rider' style, I revered to keeping both headrests extended to the top notch as now with viewing the interior from the back window both headrests were equal level and more prominent in the view from the rear. Think I remember I even put some washers on the seat base studs to raise it up about a inch too.

That wheel looks like its out of a 65 or 66 Fury. A 68 should have the padded horn botton unless its a tilt/tell. Our 68 VIP had the cheap looking padded horn button wheel not the optional 3 spoke FuryGT has.

Blah blah blah, I would just not appreciate headrests cluttering up this pretty picture.
