I'd park that baby in my driveway anytime.

It just needs a console with buckets to make it really stand out. But sweet none the less.

That car is gorgeous!!!!!!
I don't like the fact it has a 360 though. Maybe thats why it's in such nice shape, the owner couldn't afford 3 tanks of gas a day.

Slide a 440 in there. It's a bolt in job, and it'll get better fuel economy than the 360.

That is a beauty! Looks very similar to the Sport Fury I had, formal top and all.

There was a confusing array of models at the of the Fury heap then. Soprt Fury, Sport Fury Brougham, Sport Fury GT, Gran Coupe.

But to call that 360 a ground pounder? It was an anemic POS that made not much more power than the 318. And they all had 2BBL carbs on them. With a 440 this car would be super desireable., even though the 360 was pretty rare in '71.

The 383 would have been just right.

It wasn't until later ion the 90's that the full sized cars began to command any interest. Now they are pretty hot commodities.
