Last Thursday, the 1966 Plymouth Fury VIP (383-4 bbl) which I won on ebay arrived at my house.
Shipped in from out of state.
My first look at the car while it was still on the trailer impressed me. A very straight body and the paint looked better than the seller said (he said the paint is faded; if it is, it's not faded much).
The only glitch was that when the driver attempted to pull it off the trailer, it wouldn't start! He tried hooking up jumper cables and I suggested tapping the starter and it still wouldn't start. The headlights and power windows were working. I figured instead of just leaving it in front of my house, I would have it put on a flatbed truck and brought to a local shop I use. Last I heard (yesterday) I was told that starter solenoid is the problem. I think it may also be the ignition switch because when it was in the "on" position, the fuel gauge did not go up (fuel gauge does work). I also noticed that the brake pedel felt kind of mushy so I would have taken it to the shop anyway. Want to make sure the brakes are safe!
Anyway, I did have a chance to look the car over and take some photos (see below). I think the owner did not praise the interior enough. The seats are thick, plush and very soft. In fact, the seats are thicker and softer than the seats in my former '71 Cadillac Fleetwood. Here are some pics; I will post an update later this week.
