Hard to tell much from the pictures, but I don't recall seeing that one before. It's amazing how many 70 verts are still still on the road, although most are 318 rust buckets. Sofar only 7, including mine, are known to exist with a factory 440.

Finns have rescued many of these 318 rust buckets... And I'm glad we have done so! There was a time we had no 70 Fury verts here, just a couple of 69's.
Now we might have more running & driving restored 70 verts than sedan survivors...

Don't read me wrong, I love the '70 Fury and am pleased to see every one that is kept on the road. From a pure monetary point of view I'm very pleased that they are all 318 and 383 cars. LOL
Billy, granted your cars have zero rust, but the soft parts and interiors do suffer in the desert sun.
All kidding aside, I love to see the old cars on the road, in any condition, and loved by their owners. Every time I drive my Fury, I get this Yeep-eating grin on my face and love every minute on the road. Even better than a good woman!!

Boy that's the truth Bill! The interior is really baked. I do have a decent black convert interior to install if I ever get around to it. With a Mn interior and an Az body you can make a decent place to start for a restoration. I just have too many projects ahead of the convert!
