The blumo might have led me to another project. Was looking through the local cruise new magazine yesterday, and found a car show that was going on a half hour away last night. The girlfriend and I loaded up in the car and headed out. The show was not the greatest... Mostly GM's and fords, with a hand full of mopars. Anywhase late on in the night a guy approaches me asking if I owned the car. He then goes on to tell me how he has a sister car to mine, a 73 4dr fury. I ask him if it is for sale, he says yes. He then tells me his son also has a car for sale. A 1970 plymouth fury 111 convertable. I told him I would love to see that one to.
Later on after the show we went to the guy's house. There sat the fury convertable. Car was bought some year's ago by his buddy, who started to take her apart to redo. The guy got sick, and could not continue. So Butch (guy from the car show) bought it for his son. He piddled around with it a little bit, but is getting ill himself. Does not have much interest in finishing it. The car seems to be all there. I was not able to get any pictures, as it was 10pm, and the car was crammed into a small one car garage. It is a 383 car, with black bucket seat interior, center console, and A/C. I loved it!! It had a little bit of rust around the trunk lip, the center of the trunk floor, and a tiny bit on the quarters behind the rear wheels.
We then went and checked out the 73. Car was very clean!!! 4dr 73 fury.360 2brl carb. Has a/c and does work with original r-12. He bypassed the pressure switch as it is not working. Put a switch under the dash, and the a/c blows ice cold. Car is green, white viynal top with white interior. Every receipt on everything/anything done to the car is in plastic in a folder. Was very impressive. Again sorry I could not get pictures. Seemed to have a tiny bit of bondo in the quarter's, with a repaint. But done pretty well. Paint matched good and what not. Was asking $4,000.
I was/am real interested in the convertable. Told him dont have much $$ to play with, but have my newport I could trade him. Guy didn't seem real interested at first, but showed him some picture's, and that seemed to peak his interest. Sent him an email full of picture's waiting to here back from him. Wish me luck guy's! Would love to get a hold of it!!
