Greatest "I found a car" story you have
Some time in 1994, I had spotted a 69 fury ragtop sitting under a tarp. The man living there said it was his father's car. He had bought it new and all the kids learned how to drive in it. ( I learned to drive in a 66 Fury III ) He said his father was going to restore it one day. (He was 80 at the time.) Five years later, I received a phone call saying "come and get it, if you want it". Turns out his father had no interest in re-doing it. His wife worked on him for 5 years to just let me have the car so at least somebody would save it and enjoy it. So I dragged it home. It is a low optioned 318 car with only a power top, power steering, power drum brakes, light package and the exterior trim package. June of 2000 I started to take her apart. June of 2004 it was on the road... It's the front end you see in my avatar. The car was complete and retains it's original short block. I never took a pic before dismantling it...duh...don't know what i was thinking there...... First pic i took was after rebuilding the front end.
