Anybody else notice that, in the last-pic (with the car parked inside
some masonry-garage-type building), that the car's
hood appears to be residing in a normally-opened position, but, in the
outside shots, that somebody had apparently
"forced" the hood, and probably broke the hood hinges, in the process?
I wonder if an "informed" restorer would install a (probably-correct,
for this car) 120 MPH speedo, or whether he
would retrofit a 150 MPH unit "just-because" Furys were supposed to
have them ?
If anyone is talking to the car's seller, I'd be curious to confirm the
carb's brass-tag model-number.
The car's ownership history would be interesting to learn, too: 92K
miles, then basically abandoned, but,
relatively well preserved, after being put-away, AND without a lot of
body-panel rust, or ANY significant
body damage!!

*120 MPH SPEEDOMETER ON A FURY*

* Back in 1958 I saw at least 3 different Fury's with 120
speedometers. At that time they were brand new.
Two were sitting in the Chrysler Plymouth Showroom at two different
dealerships. Years later I could not find one single one with a 120
speedometer. When I saw the new one with the 120 I asked the salesman
why it had the wrong speedometer and he said some of them had 120's
and some didn't. I think one plant install the 120 speedometer for a
very short time. Seeing the Fury on E bay is the 4th one I saw
now.!!!!! Back then a lot of people took the 2/4bbl carbs off and went
to single 4 bbl. Hey kids were not buying them and the older people
that liked the body style did not intend to race them or even drive
them fast.*
