Vehicle Description
This is the kind of car that gives Mopars their rare reputation.
After all, when was the last time you saw a 1965 Plymouth Sport
Fury convertible for sale? Especially one with such a terrific
factory color combo and a correct street-eating 426 Street Wedge
big block.
A crisp white convertible with a red top is a timeless symbol of
premium. So aren't you glad someone already invested the money to
properly restore the factory colors on this drop top. You already
know there is a big block under the hood, and so this Sport Fury
has a truly commanding presence to match the motor. Stacked
headlight, wide chrome bumpers, and the tri-color sport flags are
great factory performance pieces. Plus, this has been upgraded with
American Racing Torq Thrust wheels and redline tires for added
speedy flair. More than just performance-oriented, this classic is
quite complete. The full-length trim, complete badging (including
for the big V8,) and even the hood ornament is still in place. And
just like any good Mopar, it's all quite rare. This was the most
expensive of the line when new, and so there were less than 6,730
Sport Fury drop tops built in '66.
With the flip of a switch, the red roof disappears to reveal a
nicely restored red interior. Full-sized comfort with plenty of
style was the Fury Sport's name of the game in 1965. The full red
package of the seats, carpeting, door panels, and dash looks great
against the white exterior. The low-back buckets up front provide
individual comfort. The back seat is just as nice, and even as a
two-door, there's plenty of stretch out room for back seat
passengers. For the driver, all the essentials are within easy
reach - from the switch for the power convertible top, to the gear
stick on the premium center console. Everything feels correct and
authentic - from the artful steering wheel to the heat/defrost
controls. There's even a tach on the center console to keep an eye
on the beast under the hood.
This Sport Fury truly lives up to its name with its big block
power. This came from the factory with the 426 cubic-inch Street
Wedge, which makes it a true asphalt king of the '60s. With
something this rare and this powerful, it's nice to have an
era-correct V8 (Mopar replacement block) still under the hood
today. Once people catch a look at all the correct Mopar turquoise
on the motor, shining valve covers, and matching air topper
w/callouts, everyone who sees it will just assume it has been there
since day one. Inhaling deeply through a four-barrel carburetor,
this one fires up with the thunder you expect for a serious big
block. Plus, the Torqueflite A727 three-speed automatic
transmission is the ideal partner to be strong enough to handle all
this power while also smooth enough for easy cruising.
Big Mopar power in a correct and rare package. This is true classic
car distinction, so don't let it slip away. Call now!
