Vehicle Description
This 1961 Plymouth Fury convertible is already the early 1960s
vehicle that gets attention for its beautifully intricate style. So
it's sure to attract a crowd even before you show off the V8
upgrade, A/C interior, and overall cool cruiser style.
It's amazing that a car can go well over half a century and still
look this stunning. But this Fury deserves it because it's such an
intricate design. The grille is bisected by curved sheet metal, and
in the rear, this has a more intricate design than most 1960s cars
had on the hood! The rear fenders were redesigned for 1961 where
the tailfin age was replaced by a true rocket age with the rear end
scalloped just so those missile-like tail lights could be mounted
within them (they're even now upgraded to Caddy-style units for
added individuality.) Today that makes a convertible that's
distinct, beautiful, and absolutely worthy of your attention. The
idea with this one is to be the kind of car you can cruise around
and show off its distinction. So it likes to be stylish without
taking itself too seriously. The red paint looks extra-glossy to
let the sunshine show off the clean panels with deleted trim. It
still leaves room for impressive bright work on the wraparound
chrome bumpers and curvy grille. Plus, there are some nice details
to signal that this is a driver, like the dual exhaust tips, and
polished salt flat-style wheels with an extra meaty rear set for a
sporty stance.
The black convertible top fits snugly and looks good against the
red paint. It powers down to reveal an even more attractive black
interior. Plymouth wanted you to know that the driver is king, and
so this has a special bench with extra high-back comfort just for
you. It's a unique piece of design that you'll love showing off.
Another part that's worth showcasing is the space-age dashboard. It
looks like the designers built you a rocket ship to fly over the
boulevards. But this setup is also far from stock. It has been
upgraded to be a better cruiser with cold-blowing R134a air
conditioning (always desirable in a convertible) and an AM/FM
stereo with USB and Bluetooth for better driving music. And this
one really loves to be a better driver with upgrades like a Lecarra
sports steering wheel, a tilt column, and well-integrated AutoMeter
Phantom readouts for the oil and power.
Under the hood is a nice surprise. After all, you want to drive
this Fury, and there's arguably no better way to cruise a classic
than with Chevy small block power. This 350 cubic-inch V8 has a
tidy style and polished pieces like the center-bolt valve covers.
Plus, it has the right upgraded power pieces, like an Edelbrock
four-barrel carburetor, an aluminum intake, and headers feeding
into an H-pipe dual exhaust. This one fires up with gusto and loves
to hit the road. And with a three-speed automatic transmission,
power steering, power brakes, and front discs, it feels like an
easy anytime driver.
Mopars always have a terrific rarity, and Plymouth only made about
a tenth as many Fury drop-tops as Chevy convertibles that came off
the line in 1961. So you know this very distinct Fury is a treat
few others get an opportunity to have. Call now!
