Happy Father's Day everyone. Just came across this forum sight looking for advise on a first time muscle car build. I have the opportunity to buy a1965 Sport Fury 2. Has some hail damge, missing a few pieces of external trim, transmission not working and that is pretty much it. All original. Still has the service card with it. 383 big block. All of the interior is in good shape and all the external chrome is on good shape. Beautiful car but only concern I have is that parts for this car are non-existant. I can't find anything on eBay or any parts site. It seems like a super deal but just not what I am up against in getting parts. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you

 

Welcome.

This is one of the more desirable, good looking Chrysler Corp. bodies out there, at a good deal I say yes. Not many body parts for this one but its just metal. My checklist for this type of purchase is:

#1- Glass, all there, in good shape? Finding glass can stop a project.

#2- Chrome trim, all there? yes it can be found, straightened and rechromed but EXPENSIVE.

#3- Cowl and rear deck rust, look under the dash and trunk where the glass along the bottom meets the metal. This can be a difficult repair, if it's good I'm leaning toward a strong YES.

I am not looking at an all numbers matching completely original rebuild scenario so drivetrain, interior and electrics would be updated to make a reliable, comfortable automobile I could drive long distances with confidence.

If your looking at original rebuild then be ready for searching, travel and luck gathering parts.

Welcome to the site... Good luck with the hunt..... Keep us posted.... Will Stay tuned.....

 

Great advice! Thank you for your help. All the glass is there but the windshield is cracked. I don't know enough about the older cars to know what models are compatible but heard the fury 2 is kinda on its own. eBay shows to have some windshields available.

 

Awesome sites. Thanks for shining the light for me! This gives me some hope. Only need to pieces of chrome so maybe there is some hope there. Any advice on the transmission? Rebuild or replace?

 

Just a good rebuild..... Add a TransGo.... Tow-N-Go or the -2 improver kit... and a good reman Converter and you should be good to go....

 

its either a sport fury or a fury II not both

 

Good Point...

 

The gentleman that showed it to me introduced it as a sport fury 2. What do I need to look for to verify the model? Also, would this be considered a C body car?

 

Yeah it definitely can't be a hybrid of those two hah.

 

I wouldn't say that a mopar can't be two deferent models at one time, in the late 80s I had a costumer with a new Dodge Daytona with Chysler emblems and door pad on one side. Crazy.....

I allways thought it was strange that she accepted it from Dodge that way.

 

I got some pictures but don't know how to upload them. Any hints?

A Sport Fury will have buckets and console and it will have an emblem on the front fender.
