I have all the photos that you are talking about. I took them for a client when I did a PPI inspection.
Maybe he will post some?

It's also worth noting this is a Brougham package car.

It's worth noting that I have done a thorough inspection on the 71 GT in question.
I'll answer questions for any seriously interested parties.

The links didn't work for me.
The seller has decided not to sell the car. His daughter wants to keep the car in remembrance of her late grandfather.
The links didn't work for me.
That is funny as I just clicked on the ones in your reply and they worked for me.

consul or colum shift?
Dave, great memory. I bought the car from a guy in Ridgewood, NJ. This GT had been through several owners but the person I bought it from in the mid 1990's had owned for many years and was using it as a daily driver until I bought it. As a daily driver it was exposed to the elements and road salt.
Going by memory, this is how the car was equipped:
B7 blue, white vinyl top and white stripe.
White Brougham bucket seat interior.
Console
Sure grip
A/C
Cruise
Disc brakes
Rear Defogger
Headlamp washers
3 speed wipers
AM/FM stereo with 4 speakers and fader
Power Windows
Remote drivers side mirror and matching right door mirror
From the 2005 eBay auction:
You are bidding on a 1971 Plymouth Sport Fury GT. Only 375 GT's were produced in 1971 and this car is likely one of one due to the number of options that this car was built with.
Please read the entire auction and ask any questions before you bid.
All GT's in 1971 came with a 370 hp 440 cu engine, 727 automatic transmission, power disc brakes, power steering and a 3.23 geared 8 3/4 rear end. This GT was ordered in B7 blue with a white vinyl top, white GT stripes and a deluxe white bucket seat interior with console. The significant options ordered on this car are; A/C (works but needs a charge), Cruise Control (not working), Power Windows (all worked when I bought the car but the right side windows no longer work - I suspect the contacts need cleaning), Headlamp Washers (not working but will with some TLC), Lights Package, AM/FM Multiplex Stereo with 4 speakers and fader switch (works), Rear Defogger (works), 3 Speed Wipers, Left Remote Mirror and Matching Right Mirror. This car is also wearing the optional chrome road wheels.
I decoded the fender tag as best as I could as follows:
V01 - Mono Tone Paint
Y14 - Sold Car
L31 - Fender Turn Signals
M25 - Wide Sill Moldings
M31 - Belt Moldings
P31 - Power Windows
R35 - AM/FM Multiplex Radio
C55 - Bucket Seats
G11 - Tinted Glass
G33 - Left Remote Mirror
H51 - Air Conditioning
J25 - 3 Speed Wipers
L25 - Trunk Light
V1W - White Vinyl Roof
U - Car built for USA
A01 - Light Package
A94 - Unknown Package (likely GT Stripe Package)
B41 - Power Disc Brakes
C16 - Console
GB7 - Evening Blue Metallic Paint
H6XW - White Interior Trim
000 - Interior Paint (Black)
C08 - December 8, 1970 Build Date
195289 - Vehicle Order Number
E86 - 440 - 370 hp
D32 - 727 Automatic Transmission
The VIN Number decodes as follows:
P - Plymouth
P - Premium (Sport Fury GT in 1971)
23 - 2 door hardtop
U - 440 HP
1 - 1971
D - Belvedere Assembly Plant
This car needs to be restored. It will start up fine (sometimes requires a jump) and runs strong with strong oil pressure. I purchased this car early in 1995 and have never registered the car and have only driven it on the road a few times. This car will need to be trailered as either a rear wheel brake cylinder or a hose or line let go resulting in the car only having front brakes. The engine was rebuilt by the previous owner many years ago. Regrettably, I cannot find my notes on what was done to the engine but I do recall that it is was rebuilt for a long life, was bored 0.30 over and has a high volume oil pump. I recall that the heads were redone approx. 40,000 miles ago. The car has either 187,000 miles or 287,000 miles. I can't recall how many miles the previous owner told me that the car had. The engine was represented as being numbers matching when I bought the car (I have never checked) and the transmission is not numbers matching. As for the mechanical parts of the car, other than the brake issue and some seeping gaskets, I am not aware of any other mechanical problems except that some of the electrical connectors under the hood should be cleaned and checked. The cooling system was completely flushed last fall and a new NOS A/C water valve was installed under the hood as the old one was leaking. I believe that the car has a sure-grip but cannot state that for certain.
The seats will need to be recovered, the driver's door panel has a small slit on the top, the door pulls are cracked, the dash pad is cracked but the rest of the interior is OK. The headliner has one very small hole near the rearview mirror. The photos reflect the condition of the interior. The interior will need to be restored. The console does not have any cracks. The turn signal switch is bad as it will not stay on in one position and the steering wheel is a cheap aftermarket item. There is no carpet in the car.
The photos depict that the body needs to be restored. There is rust under the vinyl top around the windshield, on the A pillars and C pillars and some around the rear window. The floors need to be repaired, including the trunk floor. The car needs to have the quarter panels replaced or repaired and the front fenders need to be repaired or replaced. The trunk lid needs to be replaced. The left front sub-frame rail also needs to be repaired and the left fender extension needs to be replaced. The windshield is cracked. I took a lot of photos and have done my best to achieve full disclosure. I have additional photos of some areas of the car but reached the ebay limit for photos.

Amazing! I also have a GT similar to yours, it also had that butt ugly towbar on the back which I nixed immediately. Check out the link to see what I did with mine. Cheers.
Wollfen's 1971 Sport Fury GT !
The good news is that my former GT is currently owned by someone who will restore it to better than factory condition.
