    Ok that engine and trans is definitely not original, not sure what that badging is doing on the car, that sure aint right either. You might run around the 16 mark, but im no drag racing expert so i can only go off the weight of the thing, but these cars are much too nice to be wasted going down a straight line, just about any mopar of this era is a proper drivers car unlike your typical phord and chebbie, take that Fury for a test on some winding roads and you'll know what i mean. Anyways if thats what you want to do then you'll want to make sure it has the 8 3/4 rear end, at least if the engine is hot, otherwise you might get away with an 8 1/4 diff if your kind to it (though thats a bit difficult in racing). And for the love of jebus dont drag that thing if you've only got ten inch drums all round. Also i dont mean to ask a bit of a personal question but how old are you? Would this be your first car?

    No, I probably wouldn’t drag race this thing, and those badges are definitely not original. I love ‘60s/‘70s Chryslers, too. And, to partially answer your last question, I own a 2004 Toyota Corolla S right now, and I would like a classic car that needs some work.

    Ok well now that i know thats not your plan, sorry if i came off a little creepy with the (first) last question, i just wanted to make sure you weren't going to get into a situation of "too much engine/car, too little skill" i dont mean that to sound disrespectful but i will say i have lost a friend due to that very reason.




    Anways, ah thats right you said you had a Corolla, my bad

    Sorry, probably not. I really love old American cars, so I’ll probably buy one of those.

    Looks like ford likes these wheels as much as I do.

    I think Ford just liked taking inspiration from other manufacturers
