Save this car from the crusher. 1963 Hardtop Fury

[fullmetaljacket]

It seems like a dismantling yard (Hess Bros Auto dismantling)in Red Bluff, California is having this car cannibalized for bolts, nuts and parts. It's a 1963 hardtop Fury. get it before the vultures do. Good floors and body.

Dang, that looks really good from that one picture. What idiot would consider crushing it when they could probably get $5 to $10k project money for it.

Floors are very decent. Just one small rear floor section that an AMD or Jim Kramer call couldn't fix.

 

[fullmetaljacket]

Here are the two rear sections that need some TLC. Great bones it looks to me.

I would like to save that car. They probably won't sell the whole car as is, will they? Or, are they only parting it out and scrapping it?

I loke it.

Cool colors, too.

Wanna send it down to me?

Thats goona depend on how it was obtained.
Submitted for junk usually means title was turned over the state so they cant sell it whole

I went down that road many years ago with a 1968 hemi GTX body in a junkyard ( no engine / trans ) I could pull anything off of it. I wanted. Just couldnt take the entire body.

 

[Basket case]

knew a guy years ago that found a '30s car in a junkyard. wouldn't sell whole. so he bought the body, and another guy got the frame, and then put it back together.

That's exactly what I would think. Buy the unibody without doors and front clip. buy all the other stuff separately. Of course that all depends on the deal made.

That is a shame. Hard to believe it ended up there but look at that original Max Wedge car that was parted out a few months ago in a junk yard.

As the years pass us, these things are found preferably in barns/garages and brought out to the slaughtering yards by people that just don't know or get it. It's our jobs to keep our ears and eyes perked and open to help the next generation preserve these gems. I'd even do it for the other brands.

Have our top men on stakeout at both directions from the junks yard entrances and stop at all costs. Have cash ready.

I think Ward Cleaver had a Four door version.

It all depends on how the business operates.

We have a salvage yard that keeps and transfers titles of vintage cars that come in.
If they have the title, they sell the car whole.
These are kept at the front of the yard for quite a while.
If they don't sell whole and the owner is tired of looking at them, they get put in the vintage parts car area.
These folks are also happy to get more than scrap, and not gouge.

Buy the front clip, the back clip and then the roof! But find the shop that can put it back together first!

I would think that buying the rear deckled alone technically releases the quarters, the roof, the A and B pillars along with the radiator support core to be as one since all of that mass is welded as one. Meanwhile the fenders and hood releasing as well on the front side.

Tow companies in junkyards in many states can get titles. I have a friend with a junkyard and I can put a vehicle on his property to get a title. It has to be on his property to be legal and in 30 days, he'll have a title for it. $50, but if I want to keep it inside, it's more.
