Hello, I recently purchased my first B body car, a 1962 Plymouth Fury 4dr. I have been a Mopar lover since being a teenager and have my share of A and E bodies but this is my first B body. I came across the car in a friends farmstead and asked him about it. It was not his but was brought to his place after another mechanic had given up on the car after tearing the engine apart and putting the remnants in the trunk and brought to my friends house. He graciously contacted the owner of the car and passed on my info to the owner. The owner then called me and we struck a deal for the car. After cutting down the weeds around the car, replacing the bias ply rotted tires, and unloading 300 plus pounds from the trunk, I loaded the car on my trailer and brought it home. I was going to try and save the old 318 poly motor but it was to far gone to save after sitting apart for 5 years in the trunk of the Fury. I found a 400 big block that will be transplanted into the car after being refreshed. That is where the project sits today and as funds and time allows I hope to get the car back on the road in the next couple of years.
