Reply #68: My great aunt gave me and my sister her 1973 Plymouth Fury III to use at college.

:bounce: :toast: We got the car in late 1983, when she decided at age 91 that she couldn't drive any more. It got about six miles to the gallon and was metallic pea green with a green vinyl top. She was the proverbial little old lady that only drove the car to church on Sundays, so it only had 17,000 miles on it. However, she apparently gunned the engine and used it as a race car to church because the motor mounts were broken when we got it. :rofl: :yoiks: It was big as a whale and was about to set sail... :P We drove it until it fell apart---I got my first purchased new car in 1987 (a Mazda 323), but my sister drove the Fury until it died in 1994. :D
