found a new project

its a 65-68 plymouth fury III not sure of the year. the car has a really straight body. only thing i can see from a short inspection is a small dent in the driver fender and some pellet sized rust holes in the rear fender. needs a rear glass. other than that its pretty straight. motor: i have never had a v8 engine nor am i educated in one. but from what me and my freind can see the only thing missing off the engine is the radiator and coolant hoses. i've googled these cars and found that the engine is either a 318 or 383 but cant find pics of each to distinguish which this one is!
interior wise, the seats need to be recovered as well as dash board and headliner. the main thing is that its in a scrap yard and with no keys. the only thing that bothers me is that the car is sitting with no wheels on it. from looking under the fender wells it doesnt look like its been sitting too long without wheels. title wise i have been told you can get the VIN and apply for a lost title? anyway $400 takes the car home.
i blew the motor in my 720 (been wanting to get rid of it anyway) what are your opinions? should i get a carfax report ? is this a worthwhile restoration from the pics?






hard to get a pic of the back because its so close to the car behind it.




to get an idea of what the rear looks like theres another one in the same scrap yard thats pretty haggard. but at least theres one near so i could get parts if i needed.

if it's a 383 the distributor will be in the front 318 it's in the rear

A carfax on that thing?

yeah the 383 big block will have the distributor in the front.. the 318 small block will have it in the back.

not a bad car, my stepdad had one of them, but we didnt keep it long.

if I rember right that motor is like a 298-312 wedge something like that its not a 318 or a 383. But it looks like a nice car to start with. Probley not the most desired car in the world tho

ohh ok the distributor is in the back of the motor thanks for clarifying!

if i remember right, the wedge had dual carbs that were offset

the 413 and 426 max wedges had the cross ram set up, the 426 max wedge is a whole different engine compaird to the 426 hemi

its got a few to many doors.

just don't put 20s-22s on it. it will looked killer slammed, but I would put some Supremes or Cragars with the skinny whitewall.
