well, for what it is - a throw-away design from the mid to late 70's - the condition (especially, the interior) appears to be superb. but, being what it is, (a throw away design from the mid to late 70's) i don't know if it's bold print, CAPS, and two exclamation marks nice.

Really a old 318 or 360 are great motors. And the torqueflite 727s are about the best automatic transmission from the 70s

Default actually

the design that was more throw away was the following body style that went from 1974-1977 where the Mopars tried to look like Buicks and thus lost their distinctive Mopar identities.

this body was the fuselage design which went from 1969 to 1973. the 69's and 70's to me were hideously ugly and i would never post any Mopars from 69 or 70 but starting in 71 they started cleaning up the look of the styling, and in 72 the cars started looking really custom and high style

Default the 78 Fury

was the old mid sized Satellite body. when the Satellite body was DC d after 1974, they simply renamed the body the small Fury

it too had a fuselage style but was smaller

Chrysler used that body that was DCd for 77 for the big Furies through 1978

I don't remember what Dodge did for 78


...but you know, i don't think there was a Fury I in 1978. for 78 it was either Fury or Fury Salon, so if you had a Fury I you may have had a Fury older than 78

Default does anyone think

the rear lights and bumper area as well as the curved rear window looks like a Buick Le Sabre of the same year?

hmm not really into mid-late 70's emissions controlled large cars
to me they got bigger and heavier and the motors got smaller and less powerful

Default one could not get

this Monaco with anything less than a 360 V8

curious, why did they sell the Fury Gran Sedan (top of the line) with only a 318 V8 but the Monaco(top of line) standard V8 was 360?
