In 1986, as you're all aware, there weren't a host of companies making resto parts. Add to that no internet, no budget, the project was doomed. We sold it after 9 months. After 27 years, for my 40th B-Day I just bought a gem from the desert. All the pics I have are too big to post. Working on it. She's crossing the country as I write this. Looking forward to sharing with the forum.

She's been in storage in New Mexico since 1980, and driven sparingly. Can I call it a "Barn Find"? I've got a list of things to do to make her road worthy again. Thinking of a few simple engine upgrades, manifold, carb, headers, e-ignition. Saving all the OEM items. 7849436-EngineImage.jpg (106 downloads)

They ordered it before they got married and took it on their honeymoon. Theirs had a 383 2bbl, AT on the column with bucket seats, and full wheelcovers. No AC, no vinyl top, or any other fancy options. They wanted the light green probably F3 but it was medium green when delivered which they ended up liking, and a green interior too. 1968 Fury III Convertible - 383 4bbl - 4-speed - Black - SOLD and going down under. 1967 Coronet R/T - 440 - 4-speed - Dana 60 - Red - FOR SALE

Sure you want to do that? So nice to see a sport satellite that's not cloned into a gtx or RR or modified. Is it original paint? 69 roadrunner conv. 4spd B5/X9

69SportSat OP member 6 Joined: Sep 2013 Posts: 18 Washington, D.C	Thanks for the insight Hamtramck. She will remain a sport satellite and will never be cloned. The car was reprinted in mid-80s. Paint is in amazing shape.
