NOT MINE 1973 Plymouth gran fury CDN$4,000

[chry73luv]

I'd use a damp rag, soft brush, and air compressor to clean it up.
Thanks for saving that one, '73 was always my favorite year for Fury styling.

I agree.1973 Plymouth Fury design is my favorite.

Yeah, I love the '73s; it's one of the few cars that got better when going from '72-'73, IMO.

Where I live, it is very dusty, and the thought of spending hours detailing the engine just to have it get gross again kind of pains me . I did that on my '94 Roadmaster when I got it: fully shined-up under-hood, I was all proud of myself, and within 3,000 miles it was worse than when I got it. If only they made a California Car Duster equivalent for engines LOL!

I would like to suggest that you have your Fury Krown sprayed, it really does work at keeping the car from rusting from the inside out after water gets trapped in dark tight places for ever. The Krown oils will creep through all the tight seams and corners. I have done all of my cars, When I had my Imperial done I had the guys do a custom spray with me directing the areas I was most concerned with, I didn't have them spray the engine bay.

I do an equivalent to all my daily drivers yearly, because you're right, nothing stops rust better! My Fury will never see rain and is stored in a dehumidified garage all year, so I'm hoping I'll be okay.

Congrats on getting the car! Would you post the fender tag here, as well as more photos of the interior?

Thats great that you have your Fury tucked away. Just washing adds water, these cars were very susceptible to rust.
Thanks for taking care of a nice car.

Yup, and I'm hoping to never have to wash it again, either: I give it a dusting before/after every drive and do a soft cloth/diluted car wash hand wipe-down before waxing (once per year is enough). Then, of course, bug hit, tar, sap, etc. removal as-necessary. I've used this technique successfully for decades on my various classics.

Here is my rad support tag. I'd appreciate a decode of what it all means! I see people referring to the rad tag codes a lot on this forum but I don't know them .

I notice the stamped "2" in the upper right-hand corner; does this mean it's the second tag, and there's another one underneath or something?

That is what I try to do. Couple of big storms I was caught in soaked it to the bone. After a 3 hour cleaning, I ran the dehumidifier for a couple weeks

No. It's simply an inspection stamp. Somebody did their job, inspected something then stamped the tag. That stamp is one many possibilities at that plant that year.

Ah, okay, thanks. Can you provide a code break-down? Or tell me where to find a list of codes?

@Turbo301

Could you see if there is a broadcast sheet under the seats or behind the glove box?
B in the VON should be Canadian Order car. The broadcast sheet should have Y09 on it to verify that this was a Canadian order car.

Hopefully someone else will chime in on the C and the C26/G26 .

Thanks for the decode!

Yes, that is "C C26".

It was sold new in Nova Scotia, so I have no doubt that it was a Canadian-order car.
