I just came back from crawling around a 1966 Sport Fury.
I'm considering purchase but am currently trying to decide what I ought to offer for it. Drivetrain appears to be original. 383 and an AFB. Torqueflite. Console shifter. V8 commando emblems on the side and a 383 hood ornament. It starts and runs even in the 20 degree ND weather. It is sitting in an apartment garage.
Underhood, everything appears as it should. On the interior, somebody replaced the headliner and seat covers with some weird crushed velvet stuff. It's in decent condition, but not what I like. The dashpad is covered in the crushed velvet as well. AM/FM Cassette player in the radio hole.
It has been repainted. It appears to have been a deep blue when new, but it was repainted white. And it's crusty around the edges. We're in North Dakota, so rust is common. The quarters and fenders appear to be solid along with the flat piece of sheetmetal that runs below the doors facing the pavement. The floors appear to be mostly solid. The driver floor has some movement, but I couldn't poke a finger through it. Frame rails look good. Around the rear wheel wells and fender skirts, the white paint is flaking off revealing some rust underneath. Looking at the VIN tag, you can see how the white paint flakes off and how that rust seems to be erupting. This is what the rear wheel openings look like. Also, where the rear roof pillars meet the rear deck, this is happening. On the passenger side, there's a hole about a fourth the size of a dime in this area. Around the windows, the paint is flaking like that. All chrome appears to be there and in good condition. The lock for the console and the trunk are missing.
I did take a picture of the fender tag, but I should have been wearing my glasses because my camera didn't do a very good job.
Thoughts? Realistically, what do you think something like this is worth?
