    Need help ID' ing a 1977-1979 Fury Suburban wagon my parents had.
    It was a Suburban model with stacked rectangular headlights,yellow exterior,rear door/tailgate,no rear facing rear seat,4 door,Fury script logo,yellow vinyl interior & yellow carpeting,vinyl seating I believe,no padded yellow ceiling except for a perforated pressed paper(?) ceiling,v8 & automatic,no factory equipped radio,dad later installed a Rockwell 8 track/AM/FM stereo where Chrysler would normally install a factory radio,rear bench (?)seats directly behind front seats folded down,instrument panel had round speedometer & indicators & unless otherwise,I believe it had cruise control. Yes,it also had factory A/C & heat.

    I'm not sure I understand your post. Are you trying to find the exact car that your parents used to own or a facsimile thereof or are you just trying to figure out what it was?

    If you are trying to find the exact car a last known location would be helpful. Even then I would put the odds of actually finding the car at slim and none. I have heard of people finding old cars they used to own, but it is the exception and not the rule.

    It would have to be 1977 or 1978. Fury discontinued ( as far as the wagon) after that. If you have any paperwork with the VIN, that would be your starting point. Nearly impossible to track down otherwise.

    Problem is, a mint-condition 100-point one of those is worth about $3K. It would have to have special circumstances to go above that.
