couldn't resist, picked up a 71 Fury Custom Suburban 2 seat wagon last week. 440, trailer tow package, disc brakes, 323 sure grip, dual exhaust car. beige w 2 tone green interior bought it from the 2nd owner who had it since 1991 when he bought it from the original owner - he actually went with the original owner when he bought it from the local chrysler plymouth dealer. rebuilt 440, trans and rear axle / diff. got the original bill of sale, and a little wire bound notebook listing all the servicing, maintenance and repairs. runs and drives excellently, ive put about 600 miles on. i did put a set of road wheels on, still have the original wheels & hubcaps. it currently has a pair of 78 nyb quilted leather seats, but i will be replacing them with the original style high bucket seat back seat with centre armrest once its recovered.

Great buy! I got my first wagon in 1979 and drove it till 1996, most kid friendly car I ever own. Made many non-stop runs between Calgary and Naniamo with three young kids loose in the back with all the seats down. Unfortunately with the rules today we wouldn't be able to do that, three young ones belted in for 13 hours just ain't doable! Enjoy your wagon.
