when you back?
Got Back in casa del doba two days ago ... on the job tomorrow
Nope... I would never underestimate you. Merely a preemptive strike, intended to goad you into attending Carlisle, before you manage to redraw my trip next year so I have to drive across Canada to get there.
On the bright side, I might get to see the local C bodies that way...

Great find and B5 to boot! I'm usually a 100% correct, stock restoration guy but this one has me thinking. Being as the original drivetrain is long gone, why not install a modern HEMI driveline instead? Everything else would be 1970 except what's between the fenders. I think that would be pretty cool and after seeing your work and attention to detail, I think you could pull it off very tastefully.

Sold it.......efi will b the way to go......was thinkin you have a parts blaster don't ya Bill?
My vote would be to keep these increasingly rare GT finds all original - whatever it came with as stipulated on the body code plate. If you want to modify the engine at all, I would choose a regular Fury and make a GT clone if you have to and do then what you want to it. No one would care.
I personally prefer vinyl tops on all C body 2 doors, but my GT came without one and that is the way I am leaving it.

It needs an A to Z, full blown, all out restoration to better than new condition.

White vinyl would look great with the B5.
He is all out of kidneys to sell and the sperm bank has banned him due to shrinking gene pool in the Calgary area...

Parts blaster = sand blaster cabinet - sold it.
EFI sounds liked a good option.
You already have a "factory perfect" GT, build this one as a fun car.
You still need to drive the '71 and take me for a spin. I've never been in such a fancy car. LOL

All kidding aside, I don't think liberties should be taken with SFGT's.
Too few, extremely desirable, dont be a Chad.

welp...fellas got start somewhere...Sadly l have no more kidneys so this one wont make it to Idaho and Pauls...this GT is under my care now that l have time...
Now just where to start....seein as the grill is what draws me to these car may as well start with grill and keep on goin till l run outa parts...sounds logical
Seeing as everything in this car has been taken out lve gotta sort all this **** out as to what it is and where the heck dose it go....
Being as l have the 71 handy figured it best to sort through all the trim...lots of it..cpl pieces missin and a few pieces lve not seen on a fury
As for my dash...RIP...it made it 48 years...lookin for a dash...big hint...managed to get Vin tag and oem rivets out with a punch....wanted to have original rivets for next dash ...
also on the hunt for a hood light receptable for ao1 light package..missing one..also huntin a dome light
