I had a 68, the after market is awful for the C-body platform, I have a 65 and a 66 now its still crappy, most everything I need I get off E-bay

Tell me about it, the hardest thing to find is replacement sheet metal, If you want it you need to have a sizeable bank account, I got lucky and scored a 65 sport for 500 bucks with very nice sheet metal, the rest of the car is trash but i need the doors fenders and quartere skins, it saved me 2k in replacement parts. There was nothing at all availible for my 68 so when I blew the engine I sold it for parts.

Honestly, if it were me I would put all my efforts into that Fury and S*** can that Aspen...use the cash for parts for the Fury. JMO...


As for the door panels...Check out Just Dashes..or Ebay.

Just started seeing floor and trunk pan sheet metal showing up on ebay for c bodies. Looks like some descent feedback on the seller.I would check there.

isnt a 65 sport fury a B body? I know a guy who has a rust bucket but has some decent chrome and real nice bucket seats. the chrome molding around the seat is a lil scratched up .it also has the center console auto floor shifter, wod grains faded but the console itsself is in decent shape.has the original black spoke wheels with the red and blue 3 sided push on caps. I know these rims are a find as I havnt seen any like these before and am quite certain there originals. anything of interest just holler, guy I met just has it sitting in the pasture rusting away.think the rims are 14s but they need a lil sand and repaint but their so nice looking I might buy them myself as they look super sporty.
