When he told me it was a 70 440 Sport Fury I was convinced.
I guess I bought a GT?

Now come get Minnesota
I had a feeling also but the pics you could see the trim holes so i just figured maybe someone put a 440 in it. I never seen the fender tag till that night.

I should have questioned Wyatt when he mentioned the GT H-pipe and exhaust tips, I blame my lack of sleep.
Stan?!?
That is indeed an interesting car and the rust isn't bad either. It also has interesting options based on the body code plate:
M25: Wide sill moldings
M31: Belt moldings (so it looks like those side moldings were factory - probably the only GT in existence with those, but I am not sure I personally would keep them in favor of the stripes that I favor though)
R22: AM radio with 8 track tape player (that means it has the 3 speaker dash! Nice, as you could also slide in an AM/FM stereo unit if you wanted and it would fit right in and work correctly)
V01: Monotone paint
Y05: Built to U.S. specs
V1X: Black vinyl roof
A01: Light package
A52: Sport Fury GT package
C16: Console with woodgrain
C55: Bucket seats
L31: Hood mounted turn signal indicators
EB7: B7 Blue
H6B3: Blue bucket seat interior
A23: Custom sport trim group (?)
E85: Standard performance 440
E32: Torqueflite transmission
Amazing find. What else can anyone say, plus some valuable extra NOS parts! Never say never.

And he called it "just another plain old Fury"!
If he would have gotten this a day earlier, I would have slept at his shop that night, I'd have been to busy going over the cars! Might not be until next June, but I can't wait to get back to the Playground to see what he's accomplished!
The belt moldings are the thin moldings at the top of the door - what you burn your arm on after the car has sat in the sun.

Who knew all this would start with a 75 Dart Sport and a 76 rusty Newport? Two years later I have a great collection. "Without love and the dream it'll never come true"

Let me tell how cool Wyatt and Manny are.
In July this year, returning from showing the Hurst Convertible at The Concours of America, we stopped by Wyatt’s shop to meet him and Manny.
The guys took a look at the Hurst and we hung out for a bit and talked cars swapped some trim parts for the 69 CHP etc.
Wyatt showed me photos of the then “unknown” GT and parts in July. I was going to take a look, but I had a 3 day drive back to Seattle; so I decided not to go look at the car.
I was mainly interested in the NOS parts to use for the 6BBL restoration. - I decided to pass, though it was a good deal. Too many cars and projects at once, I let this one go.
I’m glad I did, I’ve got zero remorse at not looking at it as it went to the right guy. I hope he makes a few bucks or keeps it and drives the **** out of it.
Congrats Wyatt,...”The Spirt of Motoring” award goes to you and your buddy Manny.

Both. The stripes are sort of in the middle of door whereas the belt moldings sit right on top of the door by the window.

Its apparent that the trim was added at the time of the repaint. I'm sure a GT stripe in the mid 80s wasn't happening
