I don’t frequent car sites

[Pa-Paw]

So, I’ll post these pictures here, for your pleasure. My brother who is a long time restorer of old MoPar’s asked me to photograph his latest effort. Everything about the car is new or completely rebuilt.

Hey Pa-Paw,

I do visit the car sites and Mopar events. Am a Mopar guy, have had many thru the years and currently have two I'm building.

From the pictures tell your brother it looks like a job well done. Nice '63 Fury! Nothing negative, but, he wasn't going for a "factory type restoration", right? No 440 engines until '67.

No, this is not as it originally rolled of the lot. It’s a multi car show winner, though. It has been upgraded with disk brakes, electronic ignition, sway bars, hemi cam, and on and on. The trunk is even decked out. It has been taken completely apart and redone. Even the skid plate is as clean as your kitchen table.

Nice restoration!
My parents had one but black with a 318 big block.
I used to drive it when I was in high school.
Can't see a selector lever on the steering column does it have push button drive , (type writer drive as we used to call it)

I used to own a few mopars myself and my favorites were a both 1967's, GTX (440 magnum) gold with 2 black racing running from the hood to the trunk.
The one I wish I still had was 67 Bellevedere with a factory 426 street hemi, it was a sleeper with taxi cab interior,dog dish hubcaps and standard steering and brakes.
Ask him how much it would be worth today.
Thanks

When the wife and I married we had a 63 Dodge Coronet 500, so I do remember the old push button transmission shifter. To answer your question, yes the Fury has the buttons just to the left of the steering column on the dash. My brother tells me that he had to become a master at repairing those old shifter cables. He has rebuilt several cars and they all had the push button shifter, as far as I know. I think he limits his cars to the Dodges and Plymouths that were built between 1961 and 1965. I have little knowledge of the power plants for those years, but he usually fits them with 440’s. The old hemi engines were too costly, he said. They may be cheaper now as they are in production again

That brings back some good memories.

Some Cooler pics

I’ve uploaded several new pictures of the 63 to my site if anyone is interested. Some are very cool indeed.
