1972 Plymouth Fury III (Gran Coupe?)

[Big_John]

Hi Regular
This was my car until I sold it to a FCBO member in Pittsburgh.
He put a lot of $ into the car to make it just what he wanted. Don't know why the sale. Really sorry to see.
It is from Oregon, which explains lack of rust. It did have some body rust. See thread below. Don't know what was repaired before wrap.
I converted the Fury III to hidden headlights. Not factory on car.
Engine is a 408 SB Chrysler Stroker that he bought out of another car locally.
If you want to do a lot of reading, here is a link on all work I did on the car PH23K2D289128

When I saw that rear "door" panel, I thought it looked familiar, but it was white the last time we saw it.

ehh I think that's nitpicking at this point. I'll take organised wiring looms any day over rats nests of spaghetti wiring.
Brake booster teeing into the PCV valve made me laugh though.

Agree on the Teeing & hose across the front of the engine. Does not look or function right. Should have bought a manifold with rear vacuum port.

Hi there, thanks for the letting me know and for the link. The conversion looks great, I can't imagine that being easy work!
The original GY8 looked fantastic on it, kudos for the mountain of work you put into it. What made you sell her in the end?

I was working on a 1971 Fury GT. I didn't have time for both. I later sold the GT because I couldn't find anybody local to do the bodywork and paint. It turned into too big a project. In retrospect, I wish I had kept the 1972 Fury III. Both cars were GY8. Love that color.
