Faults:

Oil pump failure 35000, had to replace the valve train and cam/lifters.

Other wise basic maintenance.

General Comments:

Very comfortable, reliable car.

I get 14-16 MPG in town and 20-21 on the road.

The body is in remarkable condition.

It starts and runs like a fuel injected car. it even squeals the tires and screams down the road better than the 455 in my old pontiac did.

The only mods I have made are the intake and carburetor. When I bought it I got maybe 12 mpg, but after I put on the performer manifold and a Holley 390 4 barrel, the mileage and power went up.

Faults:

The alternator was rebuilt.

Recored the radiator quite a few times.

Fixed with the engine timing to 10 degrees before top dead center.

Had the heads worked on for unleaded gas.

Transmission rebuilt twice.

Analog clock keeps breaking (its real hard to find a working one)

Both lower ball joints replaced.

Replaced the speedometer the old one made a chiming sound and a bouncy needle.

Air conditioning doesn't work.

Rebuilt the 2210 holly carburetor a few times.

General Comments:

Putting electric ignition on it was the thing I did.

Body still looks great for a 56,000 mile car.

Still has the spare tire from 71 with about 13.5 psi.

The dash is perfect.

Faults:

The car had been sitting for several years when I got it. The heater core was leaking and I found out later the exhaust manifold was broken completely in half. Many little things have broken throughout the years, but the major components have not been replaced or rebuilt.

General Comments:

This car has been the most reliable car I have ever owned. With other 200K miles on the slantsix, the car still has surprising power for a full size car with a 6 cylinder motor. someone drove their car into the passenger side door and the car was also hit in the front left corner by a crane operator unloading a pallet of huge black pipes. I think the second incident would have sheared the front clean off of most automobiles, but only did minor damage to the Fury.

Faults:

Broken crankshaft. Very surprising, considering the crank is forged steel. Not surprising, considering I drive the CRAP out of this car. The car still ran very well, I just didn't take it much over an idle on the way back home. Some wiring snafus.

General Comments:

Other than the manufacturing defect that allowed the crank to break, the car has taken an amazing amount of abuse. Other than the break, it's been absolutely bullet-proof for 185,000+ miles. I do my own maintenance. I thumb my nose at new cars.;-D We also have a '99 Durango SLT we're expecting big things from! We love it!
