New pics of the 1971 Fury NYPD patrol car!

[Matt S.]

We just installed all the decals and got the new front bumper on so I thought I'd snap some pics. I also wanted to extend another HUGE thanks to Mike Phillips, Max, and everyone else who contributed to making this car look as good as it does. My dad and I are really happy with the way it's turned out!

For those who don't know, the paint on this car was an absolute disaster after it got repainted. Mike was nice enough to let us bring it in for a Thursday night makeover. We thought we were looking at ANOTHER possible repaint, that's how bad it was. But, it's looking great now. Here's a link to the thread - http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/pictures-autogeek-s-car-week/64453-pictures-wetsand-cut-buff-1971-fury-police-car.html

Looks amazing! A real interesting car for sure. My only question is, can you drive a car on the street that says "police" if your not in law enforcement? It looks so much like a real cop car, everyone will be dodging you if you drive it on the streets. Some older people may not make the correlation that its an antique show car.

The addition of the stickers really makes a difference. Actually brings the car to life. I enjoyed working on this project. Thanks for sharing, much appreciated.

It's not legal to drive it if it says "police" or has any red/blue lights. My dad is getting magnets made to cover the "police" lettering and he has a vinyl cover for the light and siren :props:

Was that the way all the Police cars were painted in NY at that time?

[Matt S.]

Yup, the color scheme lasted from the 1930s through 1972. After that, they switched to light blue.

Believe it or not Matt`s Dad (JIM, my good friend)bought this low mile car complete.He just changed out a few things.

[Elwood P Dowd]

Lucky him, finding parts for the old popular mopars is bad enough. Glad to see someone take the time to bring such an obscure old classic back.

Awesome car!

[Mike Phillips]

Wow!

It really came out looking great! Thanks for sharing the continuing evolution of this 1971 Fury NYPD Patrol Car...


The initial wetsanding was performed by the students in my May Detailing Boot Camp Class, most of these people had never wetsanded by hand let alone wetsanded by machine before this class. I have to say they really did a GREAT job!

Here's the link to the pictures and comments thread from the class but I'm sad to say I have not had the time to get up any of the "Action Shots" of my students sanding and buffing the patrol car yet but I will.

Here's how the Patrol Car looked when it arrived for my class...
