Vehicle Description
Virtually every classic car enthusiast knows Plymouth as Chrysler's
legendary muscle car division. And while the marque was originally
envisioned as a stepping stone to the corporation's sportier Dodge
and DeSoto offerings, it was also very successful in launching a
plethora of legendary performers. That means many of the 1950s and
1960s power monsters MoPar enthusiasts know and love proudly say
"Fury" on their fenders. Wrapping a dual-quad, cross-ram Golden
Commando 383 in a tailored interior and sweeping sheetmetal, this
all-American cruiser HAS to be some of the coolest metal on the
planet! And since the car is fresh out of a professional, ground-up
restoration, it's one of the nicest Furys on the market. For fans
of unique classics, it doesn't get much better than an Exner era
Chrysler. And if you're a discerning collector who's itching for an
exclusive, big-fin MoPar that'll headline every show in town, this
fantastic Plymouth is your hot ticket!
LESS CHRISTINE, MORE ELVIRA
Birthed at the height of legendary designer Virgil Exner's 'Forward
Look' movement, Plymouth's well-known Fury series is some of the
finest metal to ever leave an American design studio. The
spectacular Jet Black and Oyster White example you see here,
assembled at Chrysler's Los Angeles manufacturing facility, prowled
American streets for just over 50 years. The car's solid, Jet Age
sheetmetal reflects smooth two-stage that's barely seen sunshine.
That pigment looks great under a fully rebuilt roof that manifests
as fresh black canvas with the simple push of a button. Yards of
dramatic brightwork have been professionally re-chromed and
carefully polished by the pros at Advanced Custom Chrome and the
aces at Perfection Metal Polishing. And today, this drop-top spends
most of its time as a rolling testament to boundless Motor City
mojo and timeless American optimism!
LONG RAM
All that classy metal moves thanks to an era-correct Golden
Commando V8 that clocks in at a magical 383 cubic inches. And
naturally, given the car's careful restoration, the mill appears to
wear a roster of correct and original pieces, from its gold air
cleaners and rebuilt Carter carburetors all the way to its copper
radiator and tagged Red Cap Battery. Fire is provided by a
dual-point distributor, which sequences sparks between a rebuilt
generator and 7mm Hi-Temp Radio Suppression Cables. Combustion
comes courtesy of a hydraulic, flat-tappet cam, which breathes
through a Long Cross-Ram Intake and restored exhaust manifolds.
Aesthetically, the engine's clean Red skin contrasts well against a
Satin Black firewall and Satin Black fenders. And little details
like stainless lines, vivid decals and gold valve covers round out
a corsage of natural appeal.
BODY-OFF, NUT-AND-BOLT RESTORATION
Debuting Chrysler's new unibody platform, the 1960 Fury was "built
a new solid way to give you solid satisfaction". That line wasn't
just hype, either, as many automotive periodicals confirmed the
Fury was a better drive than competitors from both Ford and
Chevrolet. Today, this big boulevard king sits on a freshly
detailed chassis that still veils pothole-shattering solidity in a
silky smooth ride. Behind the Golden Commando, an era-correct A488
TorqueFlite sends power to a correct, open differential. That
rebuilt driveline spins in a factory-spec undercarriage that was
fully rebuilt during the car's detailed restoration. At the corners
of that chassis, heavy duty drum brakes ensure solid, fade-free
stops. Factory power steering makes easy work of hard turns.
Factory-style, true-dual exhaust crawls around niceties like a
fresh fuel system and a rebuilt starter. And all that road-worthy
hardware rides on painted steelies, which spin full discs inside
7.50-14 Universal whitewalls.
AERO MAGNIFICENCE
Take a look inside this Plymouth and you'll find a fashionable
Black and Silver interior that sports enough room to haul the whole
family in comfort! Wide bench seats prop French-stitched vinyl
under fresh centerpieces. In front of those thrones, a retro chic
dash hangs factory heat and pushbutton transmission controls
between a restored AM radio and stylish telemetry that was
professionally rebuilt by Greenville, South Carolina's D&M
Restoration. That dash and seat combo is framed by rich carpet,
textured door panels, custom sill plates and polished pillar
covers. The driver twists a correct Aero Steering Wheel that's been
restored to the tune of $2,500. And the passengers stash luggage in
a carpeted trunk that's finished with an old school spare tire.
This choice Plymouth is a super cool cruiser that's easy to imagine
as the focal point of a cross-country road trip. With its burly V8,
tailored interior and dramatic styling, it represents the pinnacle
of American design and manufacturing dominance. If you're looking
for a top-notch classic that'll draw a crowd wherever it goes, your
search is officially over!
