'68 Plymouth Sport Fury

[AllGo'n'Show]

Hey all,

I am looking into purchasing a 68 Plymouth Sport Fury to start a slow restoration of, being my first restoration it would be a great learnign experience. It has a 383 that needs a little carb work but I might aswell rebuild the engine if I go all out on the car aswell.

Here are some ideas/questions I have and am looking for help answering/other peoples opinions.

The 2 dr Sport Fury's don't seem like much of a "muscle" like car like the Mustangs or Camaros or such, so I was thinking of going maybe on a lowerider type suspension with airbags so I could raise it up also to look like it is stock. Do I have to do any wheel well work or frame work to get it to lower nicely, I dont need the frame rubbing but a nice low stance would be very nice.

Does anyone know of companies out there that supply replacement panels and parts for the spurt furys? I know year one has C-body panels on their webstie but I could not find anything for a Sport Fury, any other companys out there that I should check with?

I haven't bought the car yet as I don't know if it is worth the $1200 to buy it then do a restoration on it, since I can't even insure it and drive it while I am doing some work that won't make it immobile.

Thanks for all the help

im going to tell you now, u should most def. buy this car...i paid 1000 dollors for my 68 fury...inside all original leather, and all controls work...the motor and trans. came with the car i just had to site back in the car because they were making a race car but other than that its great.... i got the air suspension so i can raise it and lower whenever i want, its candy green with 22 inch rims!! u wont have to do nothing to the frame to lower, 22 inch rims fit right under and i can lower fram to the ground without any hitting!!! but its a great buy if u ask me!! as far as getting parts!! im not sure were u can get parts because i had a 65 fury 111 also, and most of the front end parts fits, just the tail lights and trunk was more differnt!!
