My friend is currently trying to sort out a few issues on his 68 Fury III convertible in time to put it in the car corral at Carlisle next week. The car is a very nice older restoration that has won trophies at Carlisle in the past. Its a 383 Automatic. Its a factory air car, but the ac is not working. The issues he hopes to solve before Carlisle are drilling out a broken exhaust manifold stud, replacing a leaking cylinder for the convertible top, and fixing the latch on the passenger side door which for some reason isn't latching correctly. If he doesn't finish in time, the car will stay home and he'll ride up with me to Carlisle.
And yes, its an original red with red interior car.

Here are a few more pictures of my friend, Bob's, 68 383 Fury. He says it won't make it to the Car Corral at Carlisle next week. He still has the exhaust manifold off the car and hasn't drilled out the broken exhaust manifold stud yet. He still plans to sell it.

There's somewhat of a connection between the red 68 Fury convertible above, the red 68 Sport Suburban above and this blue 68 VIP.
So I met my friend, Bob, back in about 1997, he was driving the red 68 convertible. I didn't know till later, that Bob was my friend, Ed's, next door neighbor. Ed was/is a Mopar guy who liked 68 Furys and he had told me about moving into a new house with a next door neighbor who happened to have a 68 Fury convertible. Ed's brother, Tom, also a Mopar buddy bought that red 68 Fury Sport Suburban several years later, but sold it a few years after that, to someone in Pennsylvania after he replaced the motor. Meanwhile Ed, had always wanted a 68 VIP 4 door hardtop. I went with Ed when he bought this blue with white painted roof 68 VIP from the original owner. Ed kept the VIP for a few years, then sold it on E-bay, to someone in New England, to buy a 58 Fury project car (Ed's dream car).
I took two of these photos on the day Ed bought the car. In the last photo, there is Ed, negotiating the price with the original owner's wife, Stella. Stella was more stubborn than Ed on the price, so Ed really didn't like Stella. That's actually too bad, because the car itself gained the nick name of, "Stella" for that very reason. Ed added the optional turbine style wheel covers after he bought the car and they do look good on the blue VIP. The pictures were taken several years ago. Ed's son,who is also in the last picture, now is a Marine, and is much taller than his dad.
In the photo with the turbine style wheel covers, the VIP is parked next to Bob's 71 340 Duster, the car that shares it's two car garage with the red Fury convertible.
On a side note (just because I remembered this as I was typing). Ed always had a Fury of some kind, but never wanted a dog. His kids always wanted a dog. I remember getting his kids to go up to him and ask, " Dad, if we get a dog, can we name him Fury?" They adopted a stray dog that started hanging around shortly after that, but the dog didn't stick around. Ed no longer has any other Furys either.

Seems I never took an interior or engine photo of my friend, Bob's, 68 Fury convertible. I'll do that next time I see it. The interior and engine bay are very nice and correct and clean looking.
