My new boat !! Well, new to me...

[bassracr]

Picked this ol ' boat up a few months ago... 1968 Plymouth fury with 19k miles. I have been working on it and finally have it all dialed in . It runs and drives perfect. I put a modern sanden compressor on for ice cold air . Just went on a 300 mile trip and got 20 mpg . It's all original paint and zero rust anywhere ...a true survivor. It's almost 18 ft. Long..a real highway barge . 318 with 3.23 gears it cruises at 80 like a champ. I might have to find a trailer hitch !

Boat is right. That thing looks like it just came off the show room floor. Amazing how cars change, then and now. My mother in law had a Mecuary of that year, that thing was HUGE!

Your right Gary , I just couldn't get back far enough or the correct angle to get the whole car in the picture . All four original full size wheels and tires + the spare was in the trunk with plenty of room left

Was that a auction yard? Those might be the size tires but they arn't the OEM wheels. Cragers if my memory serves.

 

[bassracr]

Yes it was at the auction. A dealer friend of mine had it there and I bought it from him . All 5 oem wheels and tires in the trunk . 17 inch American racing wheels on the car

Beautiful car! It really takes me down memory lane....I bought a 68 Sports Fury when I was 17. Replaced the 318 with a 383...added headers, mags, 8 track stereo etc. Had a great time with it. Enjoy!!:very happy

Be a shame to put a bunch of miles on it now
