I have a chance to buy a 71 Sport fury , it’s in rough shape.
- Thread starter Welder guy
- Start date
Ya no kidding. It’s another RIP Rust In peace. I think I’m more bothered At how upset he got at me for what I thought was a very fare offer. Oh well at least I didn’t lose any money on it and I didn’t need another project . When it does finally come for sale I know where it is
I will be hanging on to my 2 pairs. A set was recently on eBay and still may be.
I have been looking for the four pieces that go behind the turn signal indicator trim piece since 1995 and have never seen any for sale. Trev, if you know a guy that has them let me know.

1971 saw the introduction of the U-C-I designation on fender tags to indicate the, supposed, origination of the order or destination of sale; the US, Canada or International. (It is not unusual to see cars ordered by servicemen when they were overseas to actually be delivered in the US. They will code "I" but the car never actually left the states.
VON assignment change a little for 1971 but "B" indicates a car destined to be sold in Canada.
The Jefferson plant did not use the U-C-I designation so the only way to know a Chrysler or Imperial was built for sale in Canada is by the B VON.

He wanted eight grand for that rusted clunker? I think you'd have been crazy to buy it at any price, fixing a rusted unibody is just huge. You would CRY if I told you what all I sold two years ago - a 1970 Sport Fury nearly rust free with a drag strip car driveline, new new new parts galore... took me and the buyer a couple hours to load up all the stuff in his car hauler. I won't even say what I took for it. You'd cry and I might too.So why hasn't he then??? Some people
But at the time I needed it gone and my only other real option was to try loading the whole works up in a big truck / trailer, driving to a Mopar show and hoping I could sell it. Just didn't have the time for that.That was the second Sport Fury I lost a bunch of money on. The first was a 1971 GT which I had to sell when I moved and couldn't bring it along with me. That car I am told is still in existence; I converted it to a 4 speed. It worked out but IMO a big waste of time and money.

That there is enough to make a man want to restore his 67 Monaco 500.

Curious if you reached back out to the original owner since your last conversation?
I'm new to the site and my 17 year old son bought his first car, 1971 Sport Fury. The seats from your post are almost the same as my sons other than your post has bucket (H6XW), my son's is H4XW (bench). Really just looking for seats and door panels if you didn't purchase and original owner wants to still sell the car or part it out (if they haven't rotted in the last few years)
Correct on the first. V5F is green vinyl inserts in the body side moldings. Stripes would be V7
No , I have long since lost contact with the seller.
