any real value

i have has this fury for about 8 years. have had a issue getting a title in nj because car was bought in alabama, and all they use is bill of sales. new jersey wont accept that. thinking of just selling car with bill of sale has a built 360, and runs great. just wondering if has has a true value. since pics were taken , car was cleaned up and new tires installed ant guesses?

1971 Plymouth Fury. any rust issues? if not, maybe 6-8k. at least it's a 2-door.

NO RUST SOUTHERN CAR THANKS

the easiest way to get a title in nj is thru a storage lien
talk to a car repair garage owner and i'm sure he can tell you
all of what you will need to do.
and how did you get that historic jersey plate without a title?
from another car?

Vermont will issue you a title no b.s. just send them the information pay the tax (the correct value) and they will issue you a tag and title then simply transfer title to your state if needed but the Vermont title works like any other .there's a you tube video on this the guy does it with his vw bus

I was wondering the same thing.

I don't know how things are in Jersey, but here in Florida, we're the land where many of these cars come to die... more to the point, where their owners come to die. I've seen a lot of these C bodies coming on the market over the past 5-6 years as their owners pass away and the people who inherit them try to get rid of them.

The trend that I've seen is where two-door cars are the big seller for the intermediate/midsize class, they're a downer for the full size cars. Most of the folks who snap up early 70s C bodies are police car enthusiasts who want to build them up as police replicas, and these guys all want four doors. The only other really active area of the market that I've seen is folks who buy these cars for the drivetrain, and they want 440 or 383 cars, not the small block cars.

I know a guy who got a 71 Fury III with a 360 from an elderly neighbor for free. The car was gorgeous. It had been sitting in a garage since 1985 when her husband developed vision problems and couldn't drive, and she finally moved into a retirement home three years ago and needed to get rid of the car so she gave it to him. The exterior and interior were mint, but the engine was frozen. He dropped a couple of grand putting in a new crate motor and went to sell it for about $8k, and the best offer he's gotten was $2k, which is less than he spent on the engine.

My suggestion would be to take the car to a paint shop and get the brightest red paint job you can, then have a detailer detail the interior, and take it to some cruise nights with a for sale sign on it and see what offers you get as that car would definitely be an impulse buy.

Nice car, someone has to snap that up for $5-6k

We can all guess what this car should bring, but the reality of it all is finding the right guy who wants a car such as this, and will actually step up and buy it. When guy's have to start spending 5k and up, many look for something like a Road Runner or Super Bee. While there is guy's out there who love and collect the C bodies, the bunch is a smaller group. Putting an actual asking price on it (realistic price) would be a good start. Trying to squeeze every last dime out of the C body cars, generally doesn't wok well. They are great cars, but they just don't have the following.

5k for a roadrunner or superbee.... You're not going to find a body in the shape of this Fury.
Have you posted on C-Body?

^^^^^^^^^^ The guys over on C Bodies Only will be interested for sure..

Heck yea, post that beauty on FCBO.

Magpies, just to clarify I am not saying you will find a Road Runner or Super Bee with a body like this for around 5k. What I am saying is when I am going to have to start spending over 5K, that is something more of what I would be looking for. I do agree, maybe one of the guy's over on C bodies will be interested. All I was trying to say was that the C bodies are a little tougher sell.

I agree. Posting in a B body site I suppose anyone here would want that instead

It's a nice looking car though

I hear that these rear drive Mopars are worth a lot overseas - especially Europe? Or if it has A/C, Latin America?
