    Im looking for pics of these cars when they where new..
    to try to match the wood that was on it..
    going to try to do some work on the car this week, cosmetically.
    Mechanically this car is great, I love it..
    I dont want to paint it, but Im thinking of redoing the vinyl with a
    modern touch and put the trim back on it too.

    Not a really great pic showing the wood grain, but it's something......from the '72 brochure. I'd call it maybe 'medium' toned - not light, not dark.

    I love the flat roofs!

    I'd like to see one loaded up. Never have, though.

    here is the Fury

    spent a day wetsanding it with 2000 grit and buffing it with
    a orbital style buffer and Meguiar's professional compound
    polish... it came out pretty much how I wanted it to.
    Still has some patina, but looks like it could be 1978 all over
    again too :) Looking at the front seats and headliner next maybe..
    Id love to put a set of late model 17" steel wheels on it with caps
    and rings, ....its SOO easy to lower this thing too about an inch..
    when do you stop ?? I may put it up for sale soon, but if it doesnt
    sell, Ill just keep tastefully modding it until it does sell :)
