The Curse Of A Car

a 70 sport fury 2 door hardtop....I never had a car that fought me on everything worse than this fury....if it wasn't one thing it was another.

I tried to get it started after I first got it and it started up then it just suddenly and violently stopped .....something came loose in the engine .....so I pulled the engine and with all the overhang the car has on the front made it a real job.

then when I was working on the engine I would order parts and more than once, the wrong parts came. then after realizing the engine was too far gone ....I replaced the engine with a running 440 I had extra at the time......then I got it running to find the rear end was full of water and everything was rusty in there ...even though it would still roll ....wet rust ...YUK. to this day I still have no idea how that happened in the first place ...something had to have happened when the P.O. had it.

then one day I was driving it around the yard and a tire totally shreded .....I suppose it was dry rotted where I couldn't see it ...how does a tire shred at 20 MPH .....

the car was always hard to drive for me ...I could barely see over the dash at 4'10" ....and finding good parts for it was like pulling teeth.

so I finally pulled the engine and traded it off for my green 69 dart and the dart has been most kind to me. and the fury went on to be kind to its new owner ....so it must have been meant this way.
