They're still out there: 1971 Sport Fury GT

[Fury Pursuit]

Y16: Sales Bank = unusual

GJ4: April Green Metallic = very good color in the right light

G33: Racing Mirror = weird, that's the first time I've seen them on C-body

No clock.....clock delete car? Mine doesn't have one either.

Black interior, white headliner? It should be black per H6XA interior trim codes

Cool car with good options! Save that paint!!!

Not clock delete, just no clock installed.

and you sold a 71 Polara Brougham with a 440 to me

Then you ruined it

I can't find reference, nor pics, anywhere that those mirrors were available. Anyone else?

 

[PH29Fury]

It’s only coded for a left hand chrome racing mirror.

Aftermarket mirrors, then.
BUT, the mirror issue is very minor.

HA! I remember those gauges back in the pioneer days of the very first Vatozones, end of isle display IIRC.
Straining to remember brand name... Think the thing under steering column is a stupid speaker.

Grant wheel anyone?

They look too small and out of place, but very minor issue indeed. E-body mirrors perhaps, installed by the original owner or dealer after the fact? The build sheet might have more detail.

Oh, and congrats to the new owner....who should become a member here ASAP!

Aw. . . Go ahead. . . There is so much suckiness surrounding this car and its new owner, we gotta do something! I betcha the thermostat is incorrect!

Close friend of mine just picked up this 1971 SFGT, sitting dormant since the late 70s! And the find basically fell in his lap. Some guys have all the luck......As it turns out a neighbor of his a few houses down has seem him always working on old Mopars, so recently stopped by his house to tell him about a close friend of his who had an old Fury and was looking to sell it. As it turns out, it was the original owner selling!
Car was purchased new in East TX, spent time in New Mexico where the owner went to college in the early 70s, and then at some point moved to Houston. Unfortunately the Houston moisture has gotten to the car in some areas pretty aggressively (will need a left quarter), but the undercarriage is solid. Even the trunk pan is still solid.
Car has some very interesting 70s era modifications.....the Cragers, Edelbrock Torker intake, headers, Holley double pumper, B&M trans pan and valve body etc.
Still in original paint, numbers matching.

Sisters?

Kissing cousins?

 

[Samplingman]

Now it's "pile on" the ones who are unworthy! Ugh!

 

[Fury Pursuit]

Kissing cousins?

We are all related!

By the way,..this photo shows the original paint and stripes.
