    Hi and thanks everyone! I'll get some picture's up hopefully this weekend. I plan on driving it pretty much daily and im going to spruce it up a bit.

    It only has 89k original miles so i don't want to dig into the engine to deep but definitely warm up the upper half a bit. Maybe lowering the gears to a 373 or even 410.

    It has overdrive so i don't think 410 would be horrible do you? I want a old school sleeper wagon that has daily drivability plus a little punch for the weekend stop light to stop light action.
    Thanks Again everyone!

    Welcome aboard. Sounds like a great first car. You’re probably the one that’s gonna get stuck driving everywhere.

    True, but then, isn't that the hope and dream of every new driver?

    Very true. Can hardly wait till Nathaniel and Caleb start pushing the Fury around. You’ll be out there at night with a flashlight checking the mileage. Lol
