Caught wind of this site on FB.. 1968 Fury III Custom Suburban

[Darkwolfe]

Aha! Happy me! Haven't had a good C-body site to nose around on since C-Body Central dried up years ago.

I need to get my old machine finished. Dad bought it in 1970 and somehow I still have it. It's safe from the weather for now. Needs paint, new brakes, upgrade to electronic ignition, and some front half interior work (back seat is perfect original still). Original rims are gone gone, but these will certainly suffice.

Welcome to the group....

C body central? Was that a yahoo group?

 

[theos911]

Sweet Slab. What group did you hear about FCBO in?

Welcome ....nice car!

My Dad had 3 Mopar wagons......I wish I had any of them today!

Kool wagon, welcome to the site from the Motor City!

 

[AlleyOop2]

Welcome, kewl wagon!

Welcome to the board....and very cool that you still have the wagon your Dad bought back in 1970!! That alone is the coolest part of that car. And the fact that you don't have a roof rack...my 68 T/C wagon doesn't have one either....makes the wagon look long and low!!

Thanks for the welcome!

C-Body Central was a similar site to this one. Had a hard focus on the C-bodies with occasional bits from the other classes as well. It was typically pretty picture heavy. Just up and poofed one day. Rather disappointing.

Found this site when someone posted the link to the page from the Mopar Owners of Facebook page.

That would be me! Most every C-Body that pops up on that group I give a link to FCBO. That's a sweet group, but very few Cs and only a few people willing to give them a second glance.

C body central? ...... How long ago?

Before 2003. I want to say it dropped of the web summer 2002. But I could be off.

Thanks again then!

C-bodies aren't glamour queens. They're freaking work horses that don't stop if you take care of 'em. Heck my Fury got left out in the sun for the better part of 30 years. Mostly in use the whole time until the last 10 or so. When I finally dusted it off, under $100 worth of wiring and a Carter 2 bbl from a wrecked '65 Dodge pickup got it running again. So even ignored, you can bring them back to life pretty quick.

Ok i remember it then. Hardly ever made a visit there. The drydock and Moparts along with the yahoo polara board got most of my time
