Check out my Barn find Mopar!!

[66340SEDAN]

Ok, maybe not a true barn find but it was in a shed for the last 5+ years and it is mine and still looks barn fresh :happy7:

This is my 1977 Fury 440 State Trooper car, this beast is fun but with no time for it, it has been parked sine 2004. It has been super hot and humid here, I keep the car in a friends shed and all the cars inside got wet from the wet air, mold also started growing on the interiors so I had to get mine out and clean her up.

That's a super cool car...I think those are one of the best looking of the seventies Mopars and with a 440 as well...sweet...

Here are some pics after I cleaned it up and swapped the wheels and tires for a different set. The set that were on it had new tires on them, didn't want them to go bad so I am gonna run them on my 73 Plymouth Suburban.

The Fury squad came from ND and was used as a state trooper car there so there is only has minor rust in the rear quarters, everything else solid. The previous owner chucked the factory front seat for a lame (but comfy!) power seat from a 5th ave car, color doesn't match, other than this, it is complete.

looking good with the cop wheels...that's odd that it came in that gold color,did they order it that way to not look like a police car?

Up here they order some cop cars in regular colors here for highway patrol and they're known as ghost cars.

It was a special order car, it has a tag next to the fender tag, the other tag says "Special Handling" It is wearing most of its original paint, only the driver fender and lower quarters have been repainted. Has lots of switches on the dash, holes in the trunk lid frame for a gun rack, CB antenna, had a single "cherry" or "gumball" light on the roof, had some kind of round shield rivited to the door. Evidence of a cage is there, has reflectors on the underside of the trunk and inside door edges so when the doors were open at night the light would hit them, also had 2 block heaters (1 each side) and a battery heater...lots of neat stuff!

I LOVE THOSE CARS!!!! i want one of those cop cars so bad. I have this vision of a lowered, hot rodded, BMW killer. 6.1 swap, modern od auto. Modernized pro-touring like interior with really nice materials. Think high end european car. Black, 17" wheels. Hotchkiss suspension! You are lucky man to have that car, take good care of it!
