But in her place, along came this sweetheart. A 66 Plymouth Fury III

Nice trade.. I would have done it myself
:o ::woot::
Need details, please!
Also, a representative of the Mid Michigan Mopar Enthusiasts will soon be in contact (I'll sick my Dad on you - he drives a '66 Dodge Coronet).
Sweet car, my buddy has a 68 Dodge Dart Swinger he's restoring, but I'm kind of disappointed I only ever got to see your jeep wheel once.
Great something else you have to trailer ::poke:: ::poke::

I was thinking the same thing---I never saw that thing wheel, unless you call going on and off the trailer "wheeling". :mrgreen:
I like the Fury--it's an automatic so it is now my new grocery getter!!! ::woot::

Heck my old Omni would leave rubber too - I want cubic inches, intake and exhaust details, BHP and all those kinds of good stats!

I agree. That Jeep was the sweetest Jeep I've ever seen...

Aaahh, thanks - I needed that!
all I know is that Chris wouldn't play the radio when we took the family out for a spin this afternoon (AM radio Nazi). As I was nosing through the back seat, I opened the arm rest ash trays (for you youngins, old cars had ashtrays in the back as well as the front--kinda like the ones you see on old planes...) Just as I suspected--gum wrappers! :) That took me back to my childhood riding around with my Grandma in her Ford Falcon and Dodge (Plymouth??) Swinger. Wow, I have to admit it was fun!
Brendan to Chris: "Dad, where's the switch to open the window?" Chris: right there, it's a crank and you have to roll it down yourself." Brendan looks confused. "Dad? Where's the radio?" Chris points it out and the look on Brendan's face as he wondered what the buttons where was priceless...
Heh, it's amazing how things have changed dramatically since I was a kid. Brendan and Sophia like the "airplane seatbelts" though :mrgreen:
oh, I forgot to mention that the guy that bought the CJ had high hopes of having it at Silver Lake this weekend. So be on the lookout, and pat him on the back for finally letting that thing wheel.... :)
small block 318 or big block 318 ?
If it's original it should be the Y-block (big block) - same motor my dad's 66 has, predecessor to the 360. Harder to find aftermarket goodies than the 273/318/340 family.
I think it's the big block, but I need to do some research first.
Small block. I happened across the actual add (I think) that matches exactly your post of info you put in here. did it come from ohio? Nice ride. what did you need another project to keep you out of trouble :mrgreen: .
Wonder how far you could get that Fury into the Mounds.. Might do better at Vassar though..
:o :lol: ::woot:: :shock:

Did you take it up to the Friday cruise in town? I was planning on going but plans were changed, hopfully this friday I will make it.
that could be the car as the guy Chris got it from got it from Ohio. We weren't at the car cruise last week--we were involved in Riding 4 The Ribbon bike run on Saturday and busy with preparations on Friday.
Brendan wants Chris to go to Mo Jo's (since we pass that on the way to baseball) so we may do that or downtown--haven't been to either since they started.
Looks like you got the beter end of that trade Chris.
Great looking car. Sorry to see your jeep go, but you do have another one as well as the Hummer to keep wheeling in.
That would be the one, thanx Jeff.

heh, you obviously aren't aware of the H2's awesome wheeling history :lol:
That gas guzzling grocery getter is headed back the dealership as soon as they'll end the lease.....
I included the Hummer as another wheeler in your line up.
Too bad it didn't get better gas mileage though. If the Dually didn't get such good mileage it would already have been returned.
Either way I can't wait to see the car in person.
i stopped by and checked it out yesterday it is pretty sweet chris i found a am fm radio from a mopar of the same era for ya i'll swing by this week with it

What do you get gas milleage wise with that thing? My dads found (On his RAM Diesel 2500) that if sets cruise control at 55, he can get 31-35mpg. 65mph its around 24-26mpg. 75mph is around 18mpg, 80mph its around 13mpg. Ha.

That would be great, thanx paul.

Based on my research, your dad's numbers are about right. You have to remember that mine is an '07 so certain things are tuned differently in my favor. Worst I have seen is when I was towing 10K lbs plus and even then I was at about 18mpg at 70mph.
But good for your dad on what he is getting. Every bit counts with the fuel prices these days.
Chris,
Did you drive by on Fenton Rd. today? I could swear it was you driving by.
If it was, very nice, if it wasn't, still very nice to someone.
Nope, been bust all day today.

you shouldn't give away your secrets like that.... :mrgreen:
