To Be or NOT

[Fury Man Van]

Bought this 68 sight unseen took a chance got it home soo sad at one time this was a Beautiful Machine she is all numbers matching but needs so much work
engine is stuck but mostly complete even the correct radiator and yes it's a factory 4spd car and I do believe that the Hurst shifter is original

Good-looking car. Is everything there? I'd be very tempted to build this, as it's a 383 4-speed car.

All of the interior is gone only has one good piece of glass left R.R.side glass

From the pics it looks to be a reasonably restorable car. Too good to be parted out since it is a factory stick convertible.

If you decide to sell, I hope you sell as-is to someone here who will restore it.

according to my book it is 1 of 25 built it was a bench seat car (Not Buckets)

This is what she would look like New

I would do my best to free up the engine. This car is to complete to part out with all the numbers matching.

1 of 25? I think it should be saved, by someone. I wouldn't part it out.

before I left for this trip I filled the engine with Marvel's Mystery oil figured to let it sit for a few weeks this does appear to be an HP 383

and she does have a sure grip 8.75 rear

The HP manifolds indicate that. . .

Tough one, definitely rare, exterior body looks fairly solid but the floors, I imagine the trunk is toast too? Unless there was some change mid year, the original shifter would be the inland unit, (w/reverse lock out). The hurst was a popular add on once they became available.

opps the car was built 7/68 approximately going by the engine and intake and I read somewhere that they put the Hurst in the late model not sure if that is true

 

[azblackhemi]

If someone had a donor car for the missing parts even if it was a rust bucket it would be a great project. You could find the floors and trunk floor somewhere else.

 

[Fury Man Van]

my Red Sport Fury does have the Inland

One way to look at it, most of the needed disassembly has already been done.
