Brings back some memories. Fresh out of post grad, married, two kids, no money and in need of a car. Bought an oil burning 1976 Grand Marquis for $600. What a beast. Drove it for a year or so and sold it for $650. Only car I ever made money on! The Grand Fury looks like a fun project car.
That car is in excellent shape. That is a really good find!
It sure is!
Big Mopar guy now 😂
You're not that big of a Mopar guy. You don't have a mullet
Check out Dylan mccool on UA-cam he does lean burn mods and dodge cop cars
@@jameshall4385 I’ll work on that 🤪
I got given a '76 Valiant V8 sedan a few years back due to my reputation. In May I got a '69 BB Dart. In June? I was given an '89 GF AHB car the guy bought at auction in '92/'93. From the desert, complete, no rot, and never wrecked...
I have the exact same car, color and everything but mine is an 84. I'm doing the same thing, making a police car tribute. So far I removed the vinyl roof and put the correct wheels and dog dish hub caps. I also installed wig wag lights for the headlights and a siren. I'm doing mine as an unmarked unit. Looking forward to seeing your progress!
Good stuff. I'll be watching. Good luck. Thanks for sharing.👍👍🍁
I drove one of those as a patrol car in 1987. You couldn't kill it.
I’m a Ford guy but always liked these Chrysler M body cars. Kinda keep looking at these and the older Crown Vics on Marketplace
I say keep her gold and have her an unmarked spec cruiser. Also cheers from another Gran Fury driver
Check out Tyler’s Neighborhood garage. Lean burn . He can explain how to get rid of the lean burn and advance the timing.
I’ll check it out. Thanks 👍
Reason the fuel gauge pod is half empty is because back then when you didnt check an option they left the pod etc empty..Key goes the right way,GM is upside down :)
lol i was waiting for the gun to come out from under the seat
i have a 87 dodge diplomat with a 318 and I'm running stainless Ebay A body headers and a stainless Pypes brand A body Dart dual exhaust....You will need to move the gas tank to the passenger side to make room for the drivers side exhaust pipe...and yes ditch the lean burn and ad aluminum intake and 4bbl.....
My first car was a 1986 Plymouth Grand Fury and it was a great car 🚗
Very much like the Ford Granada and Lincoln Versaille. Granada was my first car. Talk about a chock magnet! That's a nice ride dude. 👌 wifey is right, as always, about the color. You know, there were gold police cars too. Might be something to look at. That rear package tray is made of "hard board".
I’m not a fan of gold, but my wife is right. It does suit it. 😆
Check out Allpar and For FMJ Bodies only on these cars. People have used A-Body headers on these and say they fit well. My 88 Fifth Avenue had all the suspension bushings rotted away too, yours look like brand new compared to mine lol. It looked like you have the 7.25 differential, which is pretty weak if you're looking to get more oompf out of it. I'm with you on the gold, although it does go nice on the Fifth Ave. Firm Feel, Inc. sells just about all you need for steering and suspension and also makes upgraded components for both. Glad to see what you do with it.
Thanks for the info!
lose the wheels and the la v8,swap on some cop car rims and tires,and throw a Magnum 318 out of a truck in with a 4bbl intake and carb and drive the Snot out of it.
hardest part for you is gonna be those trim pieces,theres Studs on the body that will have to be ground Off if you are gonna paint it.
also,your wife is right,there was and still is Tons of cop cars in black and white but a Detectives car in gold will Always stand out.
just think about it ;)
ps,feel free to ask any questions,ive owned around ten of these and just sold a 2 door lebaron model and my buddy owns 3 of them.
ps,the Best thing you can do to that car cheaply,is to Swap the rearend out for a Better Gear ratio.
these came with some Garbage 2:25 ratio...a B-body rearend will slide right in,or you can go crazy and swap a ford 8.8 rear in.
Awesome info. Thanks 👍
My father had a couple of these cars.... The first was an '86 Gran Fury.. It was gray with a silver vinyl roof... The second one was an '87 Chrysler Fifth Avenue. It was all silver.... They're pretty nice cars. By the way, I'm also a GM guy
Mopar guys are not as nerdy as portrayed at the beginning! Okay, yeah.... we are.
If you are still looking for a Chrysler factory radio for this grand fury there's a guy who reconditions them new lights clean up the electrical contact switches knobs and slides, and replace the belts if needed and the the panel lights switched to new LEDs and all solder connections inside checked and reflowed if needed and then fully tested i have gotten the premium infinity by Chrysler am fm CD player cassette tape player stereo from him for $80 shipped and it all works great and the leds all light up bright and eq slides work and the ends illuminated great, and the inside of the stereo has been cleaned...its what i have had in my 2000 dodge ram laramie slt quad cab long bed 1500 318 magnum V8 4x4, and that was 4 years ago when I bought it
Idea for next intro to this car…
Would you look at that ! Guy lol 😂
Just look at it!
Awesome clean n body and that gold paint blemishes and all really shines, my truck has rust around the lower edges its from northern Ohio since new, and I have the experience of what they look like with the wrong front doors lol. And the dual radio in your grand fury is that a xd770 bt dvd player stereo?!
I've been wanting one of these for a long time, once I pay off my ram. I want non vinyl top, all black 87
What is going to be the car's nickname? I think she needs a driver pillar mounted utility light and a big- ass CB antenna on the trunk! I personnally would do the cherry bomb exhaust first to get you some instant gratification!
My wife and kids have taken to the name "Goldie" I believe a glasspack is in order for sure!
You need to sell that Trailblazer. A Plymouth Gran Fury is an infinitely better car!
Anyone know how to take off that electronic spark thing?
aspen 75 to 80 headers, doors and glass all the same
Thanks ma'am.......
Why put on a set of heads, when you can swap a whole magnum 318(360 '96-'02 b-body vans) they both bolt in.
Bufford T Justice drove a Gold PO-Lice car ....
“What we’re dealing with here, is a total-lack-a-respect of da law!”
Oh sure, you can say Mopar, but not Ford!?😁
And my interior is decent minus the dash,, it has a decent console on the front seat one of my favorite features of it,, and the headliner is in good shape, and the rear left door doesn't open the lower latch is frozen i need to swap new ones in the bottom on both sides.. and are you going to do exhaust experiments like glass pack or straight pipe lol
I'm a Mopar and Ford man myself and I must congratulate you for getting a Mopar, probably means you're tired of taking it from behind with a shitvrolet...🤣
I've got a gold 85 Chrysler fifth avenue and a gunmetal blue 85 Plymouth Grand fury, the Grand fury is an x Daytona Beach detective's car and the guy I bought it from had the engine built at the speed shop down there got rid of the lean burn crap and built it with performance in mind was better than stock heads long tube headers and a 650 demon carb full dual exhaust and pulled 904 trans in favor of 4 speed automatic with a shift kit and 8.25 posi traction outback it makes right at 350 horses to the rear wheels and it is a blast on the road.
Now that you got a Mopar you need to get you a Ford and then you'll be able to prove that you definitely like girls 🤣🤣🤣
Question: Why not just keep it stock and make it an "unmarked" car. The problem with making a police car tribute is that: 1) It has the plush SE interior, which police cars never had. 2) It doesn't have the reinforced unibody or heavy duty suspension. 3) It doesn't have the certified 125 mph speedometer or the extra large alternator. It's your car and I'm glad you're saving it, but police car clones always look wrong to me.
All valid points, no doubt.
I found one near me. Same year and color. 70k and in great shape. But it shifts into neutral when driving. They want $600, is it worth it?
Seems like a good deal to me. Get the trans fixed and it’s a $4k car give or take.
What happened to the zrs
And lean burn by Chrysler sucks lol,, similar to the e4mc gm Rochester quadrajet series of carburetors
The single plug single pickup distributor type leanburn system is NOT problematic like the early dual plug/ dual pickup units!
Understand? They are Not all the same!
Youre a criminal if you pain that car. Put some cop wheels on it and a push bar and call it good.
Please don't make it a police car! I would keep it original. Making it a police car is pointless.
