Very true, there are just so few C-bodies around and being restored that I
can't imagine that alot of C-Body specific parts will be made. 

I love my B-Bodies but being a C-Body sized guy, I miss the bigger cars.  I
should charge admission to watch me get in and out of an A-Body :P

Speaking of size, I learned last fall when storing the big cars that 10X20
storage garages in this area are measured on the outside - I had two of
three units that I couldn't close the door on even with the car nudging the
drywall on the inner wall.  B-Body fits nicely with room for spare parts :)

My buddy that died earlier this year had a 65 Fury 2 dr sedan factory /6
that I was looking at buying for $1500 that came with a ton of nice chrome
trim and bumpers. The more we examined the mounts, the more we decided the
only way to mount a bigblock was with a set of motor plates bolted to the
front of the motor. That ad had some holes in it... said
2 dr hardtop when it was obviously a sedan, also said it was a Fury/Savoy,
which is incorrect. The biggest thing was that rediculous pricetag! The only
way that car would be worth 8k would be completed! 
Another thing for anyone that might be interested in it... do your homework.
I'm about 90% done restoreing a 68 Sport Fury and let me tell you... there
is very little being repopped for those cars!
