Just discovered this website. I thought i was the only person who had one. Great to see others out there. Will try to attach a picture or two, but am new at this. Mine was found under a collapsed barn . It was pretty rough!! Its a great ride now. Steve

That’s one heck of a great find there, Steve! Looks to be in really nice cimdition as well.
I’m working on a SF convertible as well, but slowly bringinging it back from it’s dilapidated condition from setting in the woods for 40 years. —John
Nice ride you got there!!!
Headlight surrounds only needs the black accent ![]()
Also needs the stone guards and hood logo
I wonder, can you have both stone guards AND fender skirts?
The licence plate on the car seems to be either NY or MN
getting started
Hi-Curt,John,Matthew and rogerh-great to hear from all of you. My SF has the 318 w/power pack. Hardened valves and balancing. Still needs some cosmetics, but i have a large car family so my fury needs to await its seat at the table!! I’m located in the souther tier of New York off I88 in Sidney. John i saw your postings on your convertable project-my god- thats a real project! Good luck with it. I had challanges with mine-top bows and missing X member mount come to mind right off. This Winter will get to some much needed finish work ie re chrome and probably repaint-my body work tends toward the amature.Matthew - your right i never noticed the black accent or deaccent on the head light surround. rogerh-fender skirts are on-i’ve still got to fit the stoneguards which need some jiggering for fit. All your cars look great!!
Hi Steve, so glad you found our site! I’ve been playing tour guide to a Dutch contingent (
) and otherwise preoccupied with work – so I’m only now discovering your post. Welcome aboard! I hope you enjoy the site. And maybe someday when I find the time, we’ll build you a web page in the showcase.
Dan
Yes, we all would enjoy the story behind the “find”, for example!
Did YOU personally discover this car? Thanks for the photos you’ve posted so far.
Steve, Nice Convert! I think we would all like to hear more about it and some additional pictures. John Q. ![]()
Thanks Faulkner-
the web page sounds inneresting. I’m trying to refine my digital camers operation. It seems there is a fine line between pixel setting and e-mail attachability. I found my “Plym” in a guys shed while looking at a project p/u truck he had advertised. I mentioned i was also interested in finding an old convertable. He’d found it sitting next to a collapsed building in 1991 and kept it dry until i bought it in 2004. Will work om improving picture quality! These old before pictures are pictures of pictures i’d taken with a conventional camera.
Will try to attach some top down pictures. Had 33 degrees this am. If i had half a brain i’d move south! Steve
Fun! A white car with red interior and black top. I like the custom top boot, it’s “different”. Paint job looks good too, but I know phots don’t show orange peel, or other flaws.
Yes, Fall is coming in fast! Still some time to drive your car-
The upholstery ressembles a Fury design. Was that done purposely?
Just another 2 cent suggestion.
During your repaint - I believe the valance under the bumper should be painted “argent” silver/gray?
Perhaps the experts here can chime in on the correct paint for this part.
You were lucky to still have this piece in useale condition.
The car looks great with the top up or down.
Curt
Thanx John Q. my camera started to smoke while taking the top down pics so will have to let it cool down! Your right rogerh. My camera is very image friendly. The “old plym” still has some of the “barn crushing patina”. I couldnt swing an NOS interior- so enlisted an uphosterer that preferred fishen an beer drinken to time behind a sewen machine. Many gray hairs later we arrived at a furyish interior. He did a pretty good job. Curt i have noticed the bumper valances appearing chrome like in photos. Will definately take your advice. Happy Trails
Looks great the way it is, however if you want it to appear factory-original, the front valance and wheel rims should be painted Argent, a color still available from Mopar, I believe.
The headlight buckets should be semi-gloss (semi-flat) black.
A guy we haven’t heard from lately has been restoring his HT to perfection. Help me out here, Group…the fellow in NJ with the long list of questions? His name eludes me,
but he is a wealth of information. His last email said he was looking for a vintage dealership ID plate because his painter had forgotten to fill the two little mounting holes in the trunklid, and now he needed somethng to cover the holes…
Ed Eckerson is the name I was trying to remember. I’ve emailed him requesting an update.
Found the missing hood script and located the filled in holes. So thats a done deal-it cleaned up pretty good with some “chrome paint”. Will keep an eye out for a better script. The “argent silver” rattle cans arrived from eastwood so i’m good to go on that . Thanks Curt for your input. Steve
Hi Folks- Did manage to fit the stone guards with the skirts. Notice a pair sold for $180 plus on ebay so decided to use them. Painted the head light surround and valances and shipped the front bumper off to Vernes Plating in Ca. They quoted $320 for a good triple plate job. If all goes well will ship my rear bumper out.
Looks a lot better like this!
