Hey all....thanks for the warm welcome. Sorry for delay, I was away for a couple of days...up the hills, no computer, limited phone connection...and relax!!! Anyway...pictures:-
As you can see, its a '69 Sport Fury...paint a little rough...rust/bondo on lower rear quarters, dutchman panel is rough, top ripped up, trunk floor is, well, as you would expect....but...it's mine!!
According to Fender plate its a Factory 383, Disc Brake, AC car. And on inspection...that stuff is all still there.
Biggest issue is that it has a Salvage Title!!!
I know...big red flag. But, checked with Highway patrol..no records of it being stolen, it has registration and title, was insured with Hagerty - all checked out and verified before I purchased. I'm no expert but car looks unmolested..if there was a big repair etc...I have yet to see any signs.
Story was it was a barn find, fell out of DMV prior to '81....yeah...not 100% confident in that story myself, but took the chance.
I know its a bit of a risk...but for me, I'm fine with that. My budget is VERY small, I'm not looking at this as an investment, and it puts a 383 C-Body convertible in my garage that I can work on and enjoy. It's going to take me a long time for me to get this looking really clean...but in the mean time, I can drive it, work on it and...as has happened every day since I got it....just go into my garage to admire the thing!!
I've got time...while tinkering with it I'm going to try do whatever research I can to see if I can dig up its history. Don't hold much hope of getting a lot of info, will probably get none, but, should be an interesting journey.
Thanks
I know we were all thinking it
