Rescued a couple '64 Sport Furys this weekend.

[Outlaw525]

Well, one so far. Found these on a ranch about 5 miles away, made a deal and started the recovery process which included moving about a half ton of hay, cutting down a tree and moving the wall brace for the barn. The blue car was a 383 car and has no major rust. The brown car is a y block car with a solid cowl but will need quarters. Both have complete but rough interiors and the trunk is full of trim. We got the blue car home and cleaned up. Going back for the brown car, a pickup load of extra parts and a '67 383 this weekend.

Just goes to show you they're still out there!

And just five miles from home

Looks like the blue one might have had a little racing history?

Welcome to FBBO from Ontario. Nice find, and just down the road!

I'd be tempted to get that blue one running and drive it as is.

Did you get a good hood? Looks like both of those are creased.

Are those vintage Halibrands on the front of the blue one?

It was just a street car with stock 383. It had stock 14" wheels with rotted tires. The wheels are ones that I had stashed, the fronts are Rocket repops for my Willys.

With some interior work, I think it would be a great candidate for exactly that. There was a good hood and extra front fenders stacked on the blue car.

You never know what's hiding behind closed doors.

do you have an extra horizontal trunk trim ? it’s about 58 inches long and is above the trunk lock and below the R/W/B emblem
