Long time c body owner, just bought a b body!

[Justin B]

Hi all,
Justin here. From Wellington, New Zealand.
I have owned a 67 Fury for over 20 years now. Many rust repairs, and custom work.
Runs a stroked 400 out to 468, built 727 and a tru track diff. custom interior and 4 linked rear.
We have always wanted a b body, a 69 super bee in particular, but couldn't bring ourselves to sell the fury, as it has a ton of sentimental value.
I recently sold most of our pinball collection, and have bought a 69 coronet coupe from the USA, and am in the process of shipping it home. It's done as a bit of a a12 clone, 440, 18 spline 4 speed with Hurst shifter, Dana 60, fibreglass pinned hood. We are not worried about it being a clone, as it's what we could afford.
It's a solid rust free car, we had a pre purchase inspection done, and we are super excited to get it home, altho it is gonna take a while due to the California ports backlog.
I am probably gonna need some advice along the way, so have joined up the forum
First pic is our 67 4doir fury. 2nd is a pic of the coronet from the add I bought it off

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone
Due to the l.a. port backlog, it's gonna be 3 months till we get our coro
At least the fury runs strong. Some fury info, it's the only known fury 4door hardtop rhd in the country. Someone special ordered it from Chrysler new Zealand in 67 and they imported it for him
Here's a quick vid of fury smoking the tyres.
You guys do like burnouts aye?

Ha ha, yea, it's missing a couple of leafs in the back. It's 4linked with bags in rear, firm feel stuff up front. It drives ok for being so low, but I probably wouldn't do the bag thing again, I was a lot younger back then. Coronet will be all as ma Mopar intended
