    In the 50's version of the 70's, that would be a moonshiner's car.

    And a '74 Fury III would be a Revenuer's pursuit car!

    If it were painted black, I'd expect Insp. Harry Callaghan to step out and put on sunglasses. Lalo Schifrin would be playing the background music.

    Very cool, clean, and rare car. I think they're dreaming, at that price though. It's all about demand. And regardless of how cool, clean, and rare it is, there's just not the demand out there to command that kind of price. Obviously, or it would have sold by now. Or maybe a buyer will eventually come along and prove me wrong...

    That's what they're banking on. They obviously aren't looking for a quick flip, otherwise the price would be lower (or lowered).
