Hi guy's,
Recently swapped a '66 Fury lll for an unfinished truck project.
Always wanted a MOPAR, since watching Dukes of Hazard as a kid, but never thought i'd ever get one.
It's in need of a re-trim and new glass and door rubbers, but the body is strong.
Fitted with the 318 but have sourced a 440 for it, so will be asking questions about the conversion.
Here's a video, please ignore my daughters screeching.
It was recorded on an Iphone so it's not brilliant.
Daz.

Cheers Mick, at least your back bumpers straight.

Yeah, it had green interior, it wasn't as clean as yours but it wasn't bad. i sold it to a southerner he drove it away and i've never seen it since.
I will buy another one soon but i'll have a 65 this time.
Yours looks like the one a guy on here owned but it needed painting at the time.

Is that a VIP model or regular Fury 111?
440 will make a difference :thumbright:

I had tried to move it on as the wife is divorcing me, and i thought i might need the money.:evil:
Then i came to my senses and thought hang on, this is one thing she aint taking from me, it's taken long enough to get it. :P
So i 'sold' it to my brother. ;)
