Got the VIN for my new toy. PM29F9Dxxxxxx.
The Question is 29= 2 door sport hardtop. Is this a Sport Fury or a Formal top? The parts car is a "23" , What is the difference between a "23" & a "29".

The regular hardtop (23 style) had a rear window that was more angled and the c-pillars were somewhat thinner. The formal hardtop (29 style) had basically the same roofline like - I think - the four door hardtop with the concave rear window.

Thanks for the help

"23" is a convex rear window, and "29" is the concave rear window.

The sport fury fender emblems are of a rectangualar design. At least the one I've seen w/ SPORT FURY script. I was not sure of the rear window, at the local grave yard there is a 4 door with the rear window that Cow & Buddy refered to.
Sorry Jimmy, Her sister is a Chevy / Cowgirl up kinda girl . Kinda spooky at times.
The Wife bought the car from an ad and i have not seen the car in person yet. The only photo I have is the one I posted, and my video card sucks. So Some may see more detail than I.
Have not seen the build tag so I don't know the original color, but the int. is dark green.
Now restore or rod? 318 or 440 +.060, the hard decisions in life.
Thanks Bob !drive
P.S. Need to upgrade the stereo! Led Zeppelin at 10 watts will not cut it .
P.S.S. I hate yellow
