Anyone who is restoring a '71 Sport Fury GT please post in this thread

[FURYGT]

These cars are rare, finding parts for them is difficult and there are a lot of things that need to be done correctly. Therefore, I though it may be beneficial to have a thread of those folks who are restoring one or that have restored one to post here and be available to share information and communicate about getting certain hard to find things like the stripes made with a group buy discount. Also, some of us may have spare parts that can help someone out and some of us are knowledgeable about certain aspects of these cars so post here and post questions etc. and let's try to help each other out.

I always thought Critter's restoration thread would be the "go to" reference source for '71 SFGT.

Then there is Wollfen's preservation thread:

While it's not a SFGT, or a 71 for that matter, I've found that Bill's ( @Fury440 ) website has a lot of good reference pics on his restoration that carries over to other fuselage cars. 1970 Plymouth Fury III 440 Convertible Restoration

As a relatively new member to this board I really appreciate the links to the threads provided.

I hope others who are working on a 71 SFGT will post and share etc.

I knew diddly about SFGT's. Then The Critter bought one. Following his ocd driven resto was like getting a PhD on them.

Siding with Commando1 on this: Critter's thread (well actually his threads.. search "critter's other mistress") not only inspired and informed me on Furys of this era but CONVERTED me. Worth looking at about a thousand times over.

Bill, you've got me curious, do you have another GT that we don't know about?

 

[Fury Pursuit]

I'll send you a PM soon I'm at a huge MoPar auction.....

Sadly Dave, there is no GT in my garage at this time but I want that to change and believe in being prepared...

 

[Wollfen]

Mine is basically restored but a lot of it has been left original too, so if you want any info on those parts of the car that are factory still, let me know, this is basically the entire interior and paintwork, stripes.

I don't know if any of ya'll saw it, but I was watching an episode of FantomWorks this morning on the Velocity Channel, and saw that they were working on a sublime green '71 Sport Fury. The car had the usual issues a car has from amateur repair work (botched up rear axle seals/bearings and incorrectly installed suspension pieces, etc.). The car had a six-pack on it, and one of the mechanics, who was trying to get the carburetors adjusted, described it as a "one of one 383 car." I'm pretty sure the car is a 440 car, and there were never any 383 six-pack cars available from the factory. Regardless of this BIG error, I thought it was cool to see these guys working on a C-Body.
