Old Man with a Hat
Ever get into the big city much?I can't remember seeing any old Mopar taxis. I don't know about valuable, but certainly novel.

Its rare. You would be hard pressed to find another 1973 /6 Fury that was pressed into taxi service originally. It's not any more valuable than any other '73 Fury in the same condition as yours... possibly less with the wheezing "leaning tower of power" moving it along.. None the less, we are in full support of YOUR enjoyment of it.I'm hoping its very valuable....No I'm to much of a realist to think that. Its not a Hemi Cuda, its a 4-door Fury. I mostly want to know how rare it is and are there any more out there.
I thought they used Checker cabs. Our city used Ford products, probably because of the 2 Ford plants nearby.Ever get into the big city much?

The car is in storage. I do have the data plate on my desk. I've been decoding it. Below is what I found.
Its a Taxi.....I think these are the codes for Taxi (PT41) which are on the plate
E25 Special Order 6 cyl H.D. 145 HP
F58 RR C/Member reinforcement welds
F41 ???
G25 I think this is for vent windows.
It has very very plain vinyl seats and door panels.
Rubber mat floor
A chrome bar type handle on right rear door.
So there are no production numbers for 1973 Fury engines?
I'll try to upload pictures of the data plate.
PT41 total build 2326I'll look up the production numbers.
Thanks Kevin. Getting these numbers is much appreciated. I didn't think I was ever going to know how many were made. Would you have any production numbers on how many Satellite taxis were made. My thinking is because Satellites were a cheaper car they would have sold more Satellite taxis than Fury taxis. But I could be wrong in assuming this.PT41 total build 2326
PT41 6cyl 1065
PT41 8cyl 1258
Looks like 3 cars were not sold when the o/a report was prepared.
Nick posted pics of a 73 with a slant 6 in it...another taxi I believe.

Does anyone know where I can find the broadcast sheet. I may have some time to look for it tomorrow morning. Thanks
Under (inside the springs- check top and bottom) the backseat, behind the glovebox, and under the console are the best places to look.Does anyone know where I can find the broadcast sheet. I may have some time to look for it tomorrow morning. Thanks
Thanks, hopefully I'll find it. Are all the options ordered on the under hood data plate or would more options be listed on the broadcast sheet?Under (inside the springs- check top and bottom) the backseat, behind the glovebox, and under the console are the best places to look.
