1970 Fury III

Great looking car. Not sure what the issue is with the roof. Looks fine to me. Can someone explain?

There is no issue with the roof. It's the preference for one style of roof over the other

There are different roofs for the 2dr.


The formal
The fast top.

First car in this topic is one with the formal roof ( more space for people in the back )
The GT in this topic is one with the fast top. ( not only GT does have them !! ).

Interesting. I guess I never noticed the difference until you pointed it out. I have a '70 Sport Fury which apparently has the "Fast Top", and a '71 Chrysler 300 with the "formal roof". I also have a '70 Fury III convertible and a '71 T&C wagon so I guess I've got all the bases covered!

Your 71 300 must be a 4dr , there are no Chrysler 300 2 dr fuselage cars with the formal roof.

We think you have done well!

Beautiful car, welcome to the forum.

Looks like burnt orange interior but what exterior colour is that?

Looks like FK3 a Plymouth only color for 1970

 

[detmatt]

Very nice car, congrats!

Not a "fast top" Save that nomenclature for 67/68 cars.
The literature simply refers to them as formal or standard tops.

Yes it is, good eyes. It was repainted in 2007 and wet sanded. When the sun is out it looks amazing.

That also went to Carlisle one year didn't it?

Here's a pic of my car. As I understood the "formal roof" description, the rear glass curves outward, correct?

 

[polara71]

Concave and Convex ...............

 

[commando1]

This roof is the "Formal" roof. 2 dr. Cars only.

I wouldn't be surprised. The guy I bought it from was pretty active in the SW Ontario Mopar community.

Not sure but it's gotta be the same one. Freshly restored about 8 years ago?

That sounds about right. Great fella. Obviously took great care of it.

 

[live4theking]

I like. Either roof is fine with me. It looks great.

Congrats on the new ride, looks great!
