1970 B5 Sport Fury GT...Critters folly....back to basics

[Marv]

Think part of the confusion is the last picture posted by Critter showing his 71 U Code SFGT far off the condition we know.
I had to look up his resto thread just to make sure that the picture was taken prior the resto and not recently.
At first sight I thought it was involved in an accident or vandalism.

While Derek was in the hospital the Doctors decided to remove his sanity and replace it with an overwhelming desire to build a 70 Fury GT from nothing but used pudding spoons and styrofoam cups....

I don't understand what's going on.

I'm standing right there with ya. . .

So, lemme see if I understand wtf is going on...
The 70 GT was going to be a Resto done by The Critter himself.
Then he thought he saw God and put both GTs up for sale.
It wasn't God, but Lakeland Lash wearing a halo.
So the The Critter went back to work on the 70 GT.
How am I doing.
And what about the restored GT???
Rip, I'm glad it's not just me...

Yes the 71 is for sale unofficially and yes Derek is working on the 70 SFGT on his own in his burrow while recuperating from his surgery between masonry jobs. His other 70 Fury was sold last summer and is likely in Venezuela being a condo for 2-3 families

Well Derek, , now that your up and about you better drop in for a visit!

 

[live4theking]

That last picture was a bit confusing... regardless I'm glad that he's back.

Just a side comment on the 70 SFGT vs the 1971 SFGT... I owned one of each. The 1970 GT came with either the 350hp 440 or (very few) the 6 pack motor. The 1971 GT came with the 370 (or was it 375?) hp 440, no six packs are known to have been made (though I saw a photo of 6bbl hood graphics once). The 1971's extra 20 or 25 hp made a big difference; with both stock, my 1971 would easily kick my 70's keister. I'd love to have one of either though of course.

You are correct on 370 HP for the '71 GT's. I think that the compression dropped a half point from '70 - '71.

if you look in the parts catalogue you can find 6 bbl stripe packages listed for the 71 GT and that's about as far as it got......
