The Sport Fury S/23: how many survived?

[70GTbasketcase]

This one was pulled out of storage and put on ebay for 14,000... bidding lagged at 7600 and i didn't see what it finally sold for but it found its way to Wisconsin and was posted to the registry. Don't know what was done with it after that. I think it had a burnt orange interior too -wow orange on orange, what a combo.

 

[70GTbasketcase]

OOOOH we ALL know about this one now. Kudo's to the member that found it because even my most recent search didn't find it anywhere except here on the c bodies site.

Carlisle 94? I dont think that is correct. Id bet my nuts that the show didnt get up the hill in its 4th year.

The registry has 6 more cars listed as S/23, 5 have pictures -its The S/23 in Sussex England that has no photo, but the one in Voss Norway has a pic and is in nice shape... this is probably the one I found in Mopar Muscle magazine that member fc7_plumcrazy said found its way to Norway:

wondering if this is same car....one of my fav interior colors

So there you have it... About 29 S/23's.

Possibly this Billy Fury fellow I found out about in my searches, and Dan -of course- may have a couple of S/23's squirreled away but since no pics of them on the internet there is no accounting for them. What say you membership... did you find any?

Yes, thats the car. I remember the photos well from the ebay post

 

[polara71]

Billy probably knows of all the cars you posted and another 25

believe this one belongs to a member here ...The Rod

"The Rod" is a real SFGT, not an S/23. I have pics of it from this past Carlisle.

Can you post them.

Real nice guy, he is the one that started the SFGT registry.

Back on topic, here is the S/23 I took pics of this past Carlisle, sorry if it is a repeat.

This sad 4bbl 383 S23 sat in a junkyard in AZ and was rescued, but turned out to be too much for the buyer to restore. So it went up for sale on ebay -and didn't sell. Fate unknown.

I owned this one for a while. Sold it to a guy in Finland I believe. Don't know what happened after it left here.

I've learned more about S/23's in the last 12 hours than I ever knew. Thanks, guys. Keep it going.

One of those red one's was probably mine at one point. It was a N-code car, that the engine was used for a roadrunner, and the roller sold at the nats, in the late 80's.

So what happened to this one? In the "registry" this S/23 was being offered as the "parts car" by Dan for the infamous "1/2 a fury" now being restored by some poor guy who only now knows what a project he fell face first into... boy don't i know about that!
But seriously, kill a rare S/23 for a rare GT? Isn't that like killing a Dodo for the egg? Just sayin...

OOOOHHH!! Were did it come up? I do image searches, CL searches and classified searches but i keep coming up with the same results and that Georgia car SHOULD have come up. I clear the cache on these stupid browsers but they seem to simply remember and serve up what ever they found the first time I searched. I need a better way to carry out these searches!!

 

[polara71]

That's my problem with searches. So many times my search words aren't picked up but a week later the sold or too late link is there...WTF?

I'm going to start a "How To Be a Search Engine Master" class.
Enrollment limited to 10,000.

Remember in high school while your math class was on the subect of algorithms and you said, "Why do I have to learn this stuff? I'll never use it"...

I was looking up skirts and down shirts in High School ....36 24 34 was all I needed to know
