Welcome Mike McGee to FCBO!

Since I was a child I was obsessed with my dad's 1971 Sport Fury. He had to sell it in 1994, and recently passed away. In August I found the exact car, and bought it back. I'm currently restoring it at home and need to find some replacement parts for it along with helpful pointers to get the car done right.

Location: Fairless Hills Pennsylvania

Thank you all for the compliments on the car. It's the EQ5 "Coral Turquoise Metallic" option. The car has 162,000 on the odometer, original 360 L/A block & Carter 650cfm 2bbl, along with the 727 Torqueflight, and rear. Its all numbers matching & unmolested.

I found the car by posting on a local Facebook yard sale page. Just so happened the owner's son saw it and they contacted me.

I guess we shouldn't underestimate the power of social media... Good work there.
