@100ford2003  It was a car I owned for 10+ years but sold in 2017.   

It was a true heater delete Coronet Lancer, built in CA then shipped to Hawaii - virtually no rust or rot anywhere.... the usual places for deterioration on these cars was as factory fresh as the day it rolled off the assembly line.  😉

Great post thanks John. The Fury was my second/third DM in that color scheme around 25 years ago.
