Greetings from Winnipeg, Owner of 1967 Plymouth Fury III

[Vexed_Waffle]

Hey all,

I've been meaning to introduce myself here on the forums for awhile.

I've owned my 1967 Plymouth Fury III for 3 years now and I thought it was about time I came on here and meet fellow C body enthusiasts.

Now a little back story. I've been a fan of classic cars for years. Though I admit I couldn't be more wet behind the ears when it came to the hobby. Well, 3 years ago my grandpa passed and I came into some money. So I decided to take some of that money and purchase a dream car that I could enjoy for years.

So flush with money I went onto ebay and purchased a car from California that I was told was in "excellent" condition. And even though there was warning bells I decided to leap with my heart and not my head, as my parents would say and bought my black beauty. Unfortunately, my black beauty was anything but excellent condition. I won't get more into it. (I have a website where I'll post my story soon.)

Suffice it too say. My "fun" driver car has become quite the project so I'd love to meet you all and pick your brains as it were on how to bring this classic back to her full potential. I've included picts of her below. And please don't hesitate to contact me or just say Hi. I will be posting many questions and advice about my fury in the future.

All the best

Welcome. Gotta be quick and on your toes when dealing with people nowadays. Anyways, the car looks very cool, I like it. I think its the spinners that are doing it for me....never seen them on a slab Fury before...I think its working nicely.

Welcome. The 67 is my favorite year for the Fury. Sorry to hear the car is not as advertised. Looks like a diamond in the rough though. Plenty of help on FCBO. Here's a link for inspiration.

Thanks all For the warm welcome. I look forward to getting as much advice and guidance as I can. Alas the car is not a "northern" car. She's a California girl. Shipped from Covina California. Not many furies in the Winnipeg area that I have seen. Especially not with those rims.

I lost some faith in people after the unexpected issues I had with the car. (See my posting here) But it's nice to know that there is a helpful community out there. Appreciate it.

WAIT!!! That's the rest of the car?

I take back everything I said.
Yes. Fix the roof!

Nice car, I have a thing for black fury IIIs!!!!!!

I'm in Winnipeg too. I look forward to seeing you at the Sunday night Cruise in. I can normally be found at Tavern United cruise in on Regent.

 

[Vexed_Waffle]

I'll keep an eye out for you Mr.C. What beauty are you driving. Looks like my fury won't be making it out anytime soon for cruise night. Not until I get the roof issues done.

 

[Mr C]

One of these are what I normally bring out to cruise night.

One of these are what I normally bring out to cruise night.

Wow! I'm amazed every time I see your fleet!

I have to get hopping and finish one of my Formal's.

Beautiful collection. I believe I've seen the station wagon at the show.

I'll keep an eye out for you.
