Every Fury was a Plymouth but not every Plymouth. I had forgotten thatthe name was continued onafter the very special modelof 1957s twin four barrel carb 318 polyhead with exclusive sode trim and jus became a regular model with multiple engine options.
I do not remember the movie car having the side trim shown in the above past and I do not remember it being actually a Fury but it may be just an old mans faulty memory.
The Plymouth Fury ran from 1955 until 1989. It was introduced for the 1956 model year as a sub-series of the Plymouth Belvedere, becoming a separate series one level above the contemporary Belvedere for 1959.
I remember the many different Fury models in the â60s - the I, II, III, and VIP.
Yes, a Fury was a Plymouth and Christine was a Plymouth
and a Fury, in more than one way⊠L

Here in the âLive-Free-Or-Dieâ state, there are many towns (especially in rural North) where no permit is required for ANYTHING. You can do âAnything you wantâ.
I would think that Tesla will have a say on how the charger needs to be installed. Including warnings on what NOT to do or youâll void the warranty on the charger and/or the vehicle.
It definitely needs itâs own circuit. You should NEVER piggy-back 240-volt services.
I am sorry but that is a common misconception if a municipality or county has no locally developed codes. Each and every state, bar none, even New Hampshire, have state level codes that apply throughout the state.
New Hampshire has state building codes (that were even updated just last monthâŠ) that apply to all municipalities and property owners in the state. The codes govern both residential and non-residential structures and include:
The state building code review board amends the code by reference, and the legislature ratifies it. HB 1681, which was signed into law on July 1, 2022, updated the state building codes. As of July 1, 2024, there is a six-month transition period until the state building code adopts the 2021 codes.
You can find more details about the state building code on the State Fire & Building Codes website. You can also contact the NH Building Code at (603) 442-5426.
Here us their Web SiteâŠ
There are also federal codes. But each state and county/town can choose to adopt them or not. Some of these rural towns donât have building inspectors. Commercial buildings do require state inspections, but NOT residential.
I installed a 3 phase 440v motor on an air compressor wiring from the meter through a sub panel and it passed my insurers inspection and operated 20 years. And that was pre www/google. The key to my success was looking up the code and following it to the finest detail.I
would always strongly recommend wiring to code.
Hard to believe, but I find building codes to be fascinating reading. I was looking for a book that gives a sort of history of building codes, from ancient times to now, and what motivated the changes to the building code over time. Wondering, do you know of such a book?
I enjoy watching how-to vdos about how to frame a house, although I have no plans to ever do it. But I find that process fascinating too.
A very high percentage or building codes AND car safety devices came from insurance company lobbyists.
Maybe they try to prevent books published about their work. Secrecy, liability concerns?
With further research, it seems that there is a thriving Commercial Building Inspection business sector in your neck of the woods to make up for the lack of local oversight and they have plenty of horror stories to scare any new home buyer to hire them to ensure new structures and even older ones are built propertly⊠I have many times hired independent building inspectors to get an independent assessment of the condition of any house I am buying with the approved evaluation a condition of sale. I even pay for my own termite/bug inspection. I do not want to just know that a home is bug free, I want to know what, it any issues, have been treated in the past or needing treatment nowâŠ
I donât think youâll find a book but fire codes are easier to trace if you look at major fires and how they changed the fire codes in response. I believe there was a horrific garment workers fire in ny around the 1920s that impacted egress codes. And the coconut grove fire in Boston, and as late as the 1958 Chicago school fire which had lasting changes to fire codes. The survivors still meet on an annual basis to tell their tales.
I think youâll find other building and engineering codes were also adopted after calamities. Think bridges.
Do more research and youâll find that a large portion of homes sold here in NH are sold AS-IS. The seller will NOT allow any inspections. If you donât like itâŠtoo bad and find another house to buy. Many homes are being sold sight unseen. A couple years ago my neighbor put his house on the market on a Sunday. Had 5 offers the following day (3 of which were OVER asking price). Never showed the home to anyone. Itâs very difficult for people who are trying to get an FHA loan because FHA REQUIRES an inspection.
And Massachusetts is even worse.
This is being driven by buyers, not sellers. Buyers are willing to pay cash and forego inspections to gain an advantage over any other offers being made. If I have an offer in hand that precludes pre-purchase inspections or other contingencies, guess what? If you have those contingencies, then get lost. But I have yet to see any home MARKETED as no inspections allowedâŠyou can bet if no one was willing to forego them, then they would be accepted as part of the dealâŠ
May not be advertised, but they are being sold that way. I have a friend whose daughter and husband have been trying to buy a home for 3 years. No buyer is willing to sell the house on contingency of a pass inspection. Take-it or Leave-it. The market is still too hot. Canât afford a new home since those prices are off the scale. A new 3-bedroom colonial in my town is now going for $900,000. Same style home 10 years ago was under $400,000.
Iâve never bought a used house but when I sold my dadâs house, the realtor suggested listing it as a fixer upper. I was concerned about where to stop with repairs. He had about five bids to cull through in a week and we just picked the best offer. I did get stuck with county septic requirements though which forced a new septic system for $10,000 before it could be sold.
I was amazed at the current levels of foreclosures though in some areas. The realtor on line claims it is due a lot to increased insurance and property taxes that are catching people unprepared. Also venture capital has been buying houses which has both short and long term affects on the housing market.
Thatâs right, there are people lined up to buy them even at these inflated prices. So why should the seller negotiate contingencies?
Our town recently went through the periodic market based assessment. My home is 250% increase in 11 years. So close to the same youâre seeing in your neck of the woods. Even so, I donât see a lot of turnover around here. People are hanging on to what they have nowâŠ
Unless Iâm there while itâs being built, Iâm actually more leery of a brand new home. No time for the embedded warts to start showing upâŠ
Agree, especially today, but I was there every night with any corrections or concerns. And had good contractors. I will confess the cabin was 200 miles away but the guys were excellent. Started work before the plans were finished or even any paperwork. No problems at all in small town America. My biggest complaint was nails fell out of their trailer onto the parking area,
