Hello from Texas!

[65FuryPaceCar]

I'm new to Mopar and looking forward to learning a lot from you guys.

After getting my 65 Stingray nearly "finished" (whatever that means in the world of classic cars!) I was inextricably drawn to a 65 Plymouth Sport Fury Indy Pace Car. I'm sure many of you have seen it all over the internet in the past year in Hemings and Motor Trend articles. I got a "good" deal but still paid too much (don't we always?).
Now working on taking a really good and nearly all original car and making it better.
Better pics to come after it stops raining here.

Welcome. Very nice ragtop. Look forward to seeing more pics. OK I'll bite. Judging by the reflection on the trunk of your Vette the Fury has found a good home.

Thanks! I'd like to think she has a good home indeed. Just starting to work on all the things which have been neglected over the past decade when it has mostly sat in a garage. Lots of seals and gaskets, carb, and interior trim pieces. Going a tad away from stock for looks and performance, but nothing that can't easily go back to stock if needed.

They were actually all dubbed "Stingray" by Chevrolet at that time. The Stingray badges are original and correct.

The Corvette is a 1965 327/365 horse. Mostly original except a few things - and I have those original parts in storage. She runs and drives like brand new and is as reliable as anything coming off the assembly lines today!
