    88 Plymouth Gran Fury AHB $13k Facebook Maryland

    i seen it. oh how i wish i had room for another. seen that car in photos with the PG County Police and at Police week. i guess it wouldn't hurt to ask what spare parts he has or where he gets the car worked on at. funny i see so many Dips with Gran Fury tail lights. now a Fury with Dip tail...

    yummy. but it like... still works so. i guess i can just clean it up. i have like 5 spares so i guess it doesn't hurt to replace it anyways. found the oil leak. Oil Pan Gasket. it would appear.

    Regulator seems to work fine though. but i have several spares so it's no issue. they all have a sticky back don't they? useful to stick your loose screws too thought the drip under the car was oil but it's hard like old super glue. never heard of oil hardening like that but I'm open to being...

    what size are the Army Jackets? if they are green and are of the "M65" variety. people will pay a pretty penny for authentic M65 Jackets

    small dilemma. this under dash is cracked. i gotta replace it. only issue. will drilling a hole for the new one just crack it? they feel so brittle. oil pressure gauge works. car hovers at around 20-30 when on the road but will sometimes fly up to 75. idiot light isn't lighting up so that's...

    guessing the felt always falls off? wonder if i can find some fabric at a craft store and glue it to em? forgive me but under this door. i swear i haven't seen that on other M doors. is that a Ballistic panel? or was i just not paying attention to the other cars. door isn't exceptionally...

    yes. they staple to the top of the door panel. i was so excited to get the new door panel from the junkyard Diplomat with the intact weather strip. and then i got it out of the trunk and it was just gone. Thanos snapped. i have a partial one from a Volare as well as numerous broken pieces from...

    anyone have solutions for the door panel weather stripping? it's all fallen off this door panel and each replacement i do find, it in turn also falls apart. this has happened twice now. while i'm at it. driver's side window is wonky. you need to put it back into place by hand when rolling back...

    got there, started cutting. got a decent cut in but it's very clear i don't have the right tools for the job. and i'm not about to have this thing slip and cut me. i'll go back with some assistance. trunk was locked. that sucks. might have to drill it's lock. two good tail lights on this car and...

    going to try. wish me luck. but i feel like i remember seeing a sign in LKQ's office that said no sawzalls but i don't see that on their website. only no cutting torches, gas powered tools, and grinders. sawzall shouldn't throw too much sparks, if at all.

    Can I have a quick rundown of taking off the header panel and fenders? Dip finally showed up at a local yard. Do pick your parts typically allow sawzalls?

    oh.... so thats where the water was coming from. temporarily patched until the new quarters come. i think it was body filler. big red chunk. would a 2bbl police model have had the 8 3/4 rear end?

    FOR SALE Holley Sniper 2300 full system with two Hyperspark Distributors. $2,000 OBO

    a few years back i had bought a Holley Sniper kit in full anticipation to convert my 1988 Gran Fury. we ended up just deleting the lean burn system and sticking an ebay Chinesium carb on it and it runs like... not exactly a champ but good enough. this kit has just been sitting in boxes. i been...

    water pools in the passenger side of the trunk. amazing the metal is still solid there except for one hole. is there a regular issue with these and water getting in the trunk? my Plymouth's trunk is sometimes damp but not often. only after a torrential downpour and never pools water. i patched...

    how often do you guys come across M's in junkyards now? here its a maybe once a year thing. still kicking myself of not barrowing work's sawzall and cutting up this gross gold Fifth up in York, PA. the ones that do show up always look like they've been sitting in the middle of the woods for...

    they've become very rare. only compatible stuff i come across regularly are Dakotas, Ram Vans, the occasional Ram and RamCharger (still mad i didn't get the police rims that were on one) and K Caravans/Voyagers. someone said i ought to get the leaf springs off these? these are semi common but...

    the only remaining police equipment i could find in the engine bay. couldn't find a wigwag module. there are holes in the body the cops never plugged where antennae used to be. and some holes where i'm guessing there were rear deck lights. working to get a new quarter panel. got one lined...

    troubles with Safelite.

    was honestly under the impression i just had to come back the next week and it'd all be taken care of. a bit daft on my part. was in no mood to make a stink in their office. just wanted to go home and get ready for work. kept my receipts. i went back to their office for a "written guarantee" and...

    troubles with Safelite.

    I don't mind if it's not NOS. I'm just sick of peeking through a huge crack and being nervous every time I see a Ford Explorer. I looked at classic industries one. thing is my work is supposed to be under warranty. so yeah if I bought it, I'm sure they'd put it in for free, but I'd also be out...

    troubles with Safelite.

    took my 88 AHB to the local safelite a few months ago to get the windshield replaced. it had a huge crack in it. had for many years. i had thought it'd be an easy cheap option. $200 bucks. hurray. well.... they cracked the replacement. they assured me they'd replace it under warranty. that was 2...
