Trying hard to talk myself out of this...

[Denis]

ex police unmarked 1977 Plymouth Gran Fury.

BUY IT. Those look great. Reallly my youth watchin TV and see all policie drive in such cars.

I see an ugly rusty car however hard I look. And they never caught any gangsters with those either, they would always crash in some canal in LA.


You should really start to listen to your wife more, Denis, she wants a Volvo.

[Blackbird]

I'd go for a Hemi-Cuda instead

High gloss does not please everyone!

[drbassman]

A Cuda or Mustang would be more fun.  The Fury reminds me of my grandpa.

Just stop and think about how much you'll be spending on gas, and the yearly repair/maintenance bills and let her go.

It wouldn't be my daily driver but let's be honest, if I got that car or another one I'd drive it most often for a while. My old 383 Polara got 19 on the highway at 55mph and that's pretty damn good. I'd imagine this Fury, with it's 440 and heavier body, might get 15-17.

Still, I've always wanted one of those.

try harder. rust is always a deal breaker.

It's the road worn relic model. Easily worth another 4-5 grand .

Not worth getting due to rust, so putting money in it is a lost cause. I bet you could get really nice one for not a lot money and you would not scare the neighbors when you drive it.

The decision to acquire or not should be an informed one. Case candy is a determining factor. Does an officer come with it?

[godofthunder]

 If you have the dough and a place to put I say go for it! Not my cupa but if you like it why not? I agree though if you are going to get one aim a little higher.

[FrankieTbird]

That rust on the deck and hood are nothing to be concerned about.  If it's solid underneath and the price is right, I say go for it.  A '77 with a 440?  Weren't they into the 400 motors by then?

[Pilgrim]

The hood and trunk rust doesn't look significant.  I can't see the rocker panels or areas at the back of the wheel wells well in the pic...the area in back of the driver's side front wheel well looks suspicious.

Of course, it depends on whether you want to spiff it up or just drive it.

If you buy it, you must of course only drive it wearing a black suit, white shirt and black tie, black stingy brim fedora, and sunglasses.
