As some of you know I've been doing some pricing on rust repairs for my Fury and it seems as though I can't afford to make the repairs and I don't have the means to do it myself either. It sucks but that's the way it is.
So as I said earlier I'd like to give you guys the first shot at my Fury, you've taught me a lot and it would be nice if my car could go to someone here, either as a project or as a parts car. I'm not considering parting it out at this time though, so it would have to be the whole thing.
Anyhow some info, my Fury is a 71 hardtop coupe sport fury. It has a 360 LA engine that is original to the car, the engine itself has a new timing chain and gear, new lifters and pushrods, new sparkplugs and sparkplug cables, a new battery, all new hoses, and a 600cfm 4bbl edelbrock carburator. As well as a new low rise intake, also edelbrock. It also has a modified kickdown linkage that's adjustable, so the entire thing works great.
The engine itself could use a tuneup or maybe a timing adjustment. As it idles a little off (it never stalls though) but out accelerates quickly and smoothly. The transmission works fine aside from not having park, probably the result of a broken parking pin. Although sometimes on rare occasions park works.
The Fury has all new tires, hardly more then a thousand miles on them as well as new front brake pads. The car also has a new radiator and a new gas tank, a new fuel pump, and a new water pump. As well as a new 2.25 inch dual H pipe exhaust system that was professionally installed.
All the glass and nearly all the trim is there (the only trim I don't have is the vinyl roof trim.)
Now onto the bad
The drivers side front fender is a little rusty, the drivers side window sill has a few rust holes, the dash is badly cracked, and the rear quarters will require extensive rust repairs. Also the rear window channel will probably need to be repaired due to rust damage.
The engine appears to run fine, it was thought to have a knock but since I've tightened the engine mounts, replaced the fan and the oil pump I can't hear anything (aside from a small rattle coming from the oil slinger plate) the car runs and accelerates fine, so at this point I believe that it was a misdiagnosis due to my relatively limited experience with working on cars.
Anyhow I'm looking for $1500 out of the car, which is more than I've put into it just in parts alone as you could probably see. But we all have an idea what these cars are worth and I believe this is a pretty fair asking price all things considered.
