Up for sale is a 1976 Plymouth Gran Fury Police Car, this is a PK41 U code 440 police package vehicle.

I became aware of the Fury in July of 2011, it was posted on Ebay by the previous owner. The car was located in Lynchburg Virginia,based on paperwork found in the car it is likely the Fury has been off the road since 1981. I purchased it in June of 2012 and transported it to Manassas Virginia.

The Fury was shipped to me in Florida in May of 2013, at that time I began the repair and evaluation process.

The Fury is the most complete and original vintage cruiser I have observed. I appears that the engine bay has been unmolested since its production.
The car was equipped with the Carter Thermo-Quad and all the associated vacuum lines and switches and sensors.
I would guess that this is a numbers matching car, I say this because every clip,bracket and connection seems to be intact

After securing the Fury in Virginia I poured a gallon of PB blaster  and two quarts of transmission fluid  into the carburetor, I let the mix set for several months.
I pulled the plugs and lubricated the cylinders, added fresh gas, jumped the ignition relay and the long dormant 440 ROARED to life.

Since Then:
-windshield has been replaced
-steering column and speedometer / replaced
-brake master cylinder / replaced
-brake calipers, brake hoses[3] / replaced
-radiator / replaced with a serviced,used unit
-thermostat / replaced
-Carter Thermo Quad carb removed and replaced with an Edelbrock

-replaced fuel pump
-replaced fuel tank with a solid flushed unit
-installed used 235-70-15 Firestone tires on straight ,slotted wheels
-two brand new headlights
-I have the correct functioning spotlight with bracket

-removed heater box from under dash, cleaned it out, checked heater core and AC evaporator,lubricated all doors and switches and returned unit to correct function

-serviced electrical system and at this time have regained all electronic function except the power locks, they respond but require some more attention

Body:
-I have a replacement header panel that will be installed
-the paint is original and seems to take and hold a shine when buffed, it appears the front doors have been repainted and do not respond to the buffer
-I replaced the deck lid, the original had rotted on the inside
-rear quarters are solid overall except for the area behind the wheels  and the dogleg on the right side [ I have a repair section for the dogleg ]
-front fenders are bad at the rear bottom
-floors are solid in the front but weak in the rear, the are where the feet rest will have to be re-worked on both sides
-trunk floor is solid overall but does have some rust in odd spots.
-body is straight and does not appear to have been hit or repainted [ other than front doors ]


I now have this car up and running and driveable, the work will continue.
I will post more pictures

At the time of sale it will run and drive as it should and the AC will blow cold
