Hello All,
First post here. I am excited to join! My husband and I are proud owners of a 1965 Plymouth Sport Fury (318) and will be picking up our 1967 Plymouth VIP (383) this week. YAY! We are always the only Sport Fury at our Annual Mopar show here (or any show for that matter) and I suspect that we will be the only 1967 VIP also. We like to collect those MOPAR's that are hardly seen anymore. So I have a few questions!
1. The VIP is in great condition and it runs very strong. When we saw it the first time, we noticed that it has an added door strip that had a coordinating color rubber/plastic strip. It looks like it was added to prevent dings from other people's doors. It is not peel and stick, it looks professionally done and certainly not a newly added piece. However, I cannot find any pictures with this addition and I do not know if this was an option from the factory or dealer or was added on after purchase. I think it looks nice and was nicely done although the rubber/plastic part will need to be replaced. See pictures, sorry I do not have any yet of real close up.
2. Some idiot took out the original radio and I am having a hard time finding one or knowing the exact size the space for the radio SHOULD be. So if you have info on that also, I would greatly appreciate it!
3. This is an A/C car. Anyone know of the correct parts for an A/C conversion or where we can get the parts?
4. I am also missing the vinyl roof emblems (looks OK without) and one sde of the trim could use repair, so if there is a stash of those somewhere and you know about it, please share.
I would love any info you have about either of our cars, finding info, parts, basically anything is difficult for the 2 MOPAR's we have.
Thanks!
