Details

Only 29,000 original miles on this 1962 Fury. Recently removed from decades of storage. This survivor has been un-retouched and is in its original condition. Normal age blemishes and wear are present. The TorqueFlite transmission weighed 60 pounds less and gave the driver full manual control for the first time. If you selected first, it stayed in first until you selected another gear. It also incorporated a 'park' position for the first time, that was operated by a small lever to the left of the push buttons. The interior received a reduction in the front hump for more room. This allowed elimination of the driveline emergency brake and a redesign of the rear wheel assembly that encompassed the Bendix brakes that were self adjusting. The front sub assembly, that had been a part of the uni-body, was now a separate unit that was welded onto the body at the cowl. As a result, the cars were 250 to 500 pounds. Reaching out to reduce routine maintenance costs the steering linkage, clutch linkage and tie rod ends were all permanently lubricated at the point of assembly.
