you wouldn't happen to have that fury breakdown for 1968, would you????

I just found myself the new owner of a 1968 fury III in white...black interior, green top.

Yes I had the interior out to replace the carpet and I replaced the dash pad too. I once found a Build sheet in the headliner.

Thanks for the color information. My favorite color is B5. Had a 69 GTX and a 69 GTS B5. I would say what you told me there was roughly 650 painted FE5 or 9-10%. Thanks a bunch! With the full White vinyl top it kinda makes the car somewhat uneak in its own way.

I have only recorded 17 1972 RR's with the 340 4spd combination. So this is possible not enough of them to be accurate to say but. Out of those 17 only 3 have A/C or about 17-18%. So out of the 329 produced to say 55-60 of them had A/C. Would that be a wild guess or probably or who knows?

It's difficult to determine actual production numbers from a sample of cars that have survived. I would have to think that the percentage of 4spd cars with A/C is pretty low though.
