Vehicle Description
1965 Plymouth Fury III Hardtop
"You give this good looking Plymouth half a chance, and it could
end up in your driveway before you know it. Half a chance means
getting a close look at the real thing, and driving it. There's
something noticeably responsive about an engine and drivetrain
guaranteed 5 years of 50,000 miles. If this is the year you picked
to buy a new car, you picked a beautiful year to Get up and go to
Plymouth! See Plymouth in action on the 'The Bob Hope Show' and
'The Huntley Brinkley Report,' NBC TV." From a period print ad.
For consignment, a 1965 Plymouth Fury III hardtop showing 11,643
miles, but the true miles are unknown. Gone is the pedestrian 318ci
V8 and it is now housing a rebuilt 440 under the scooped hood.
She's a spectacle in black and rides on police wheels, and there's
no crime in that!
NOTE: The VIN on this car denotes it as a model year 1965, however,
it is dressed in the front and rear as a 1964 model.
Exterior
Two stage Ebony paint glistens like a vat of ink on this two door
car with boxy lines and a fantastic curved rear window that creates
a V-shaped C-pillar, wild and unique. If you want to make a black
car look meaner, put some black wheels on it, and here we have
15-inch Mopar police wheels with dog dish hubcaps presenting like
an undercover FBI unit that's really not all that discreet. Of
course, that wide mouth hood scoop is good cover for your stakeout,
because it looks more like a street fighter, so cool that even the
modern day Demon has a scoop that is reminiscent. Finely cut cells
in the 1965 grille stretch the width and surround the single
headlights, while 1964 era single and simple rear tail lights
bookend the latch panel trim over a straight chrome bumper and on
this car, twin chrome exhaust tops, narrow but wide. Paint and
metal are very nice on the car with one area of waviness noted as
the only imperfection.
Interior
Bold pleats on the insert of the black door panel constitute the
only bit of detail on the simple and clean units, each with a
fitted wood armrest. The pattern of pleats is repeated on the black
vinyl split bench seat which presents in very nice condition and is
copied by the rear bench where the wood armrests are also
duplicated. Patina dresses the wood rimmed steering wheel with
sport chrome spokes while white faced AutoMeter gauges line the
faceplate of the instrument cluster, a brushed nickel affair that
shows some patina as well. A big Sun tach is perched on top of the
dash while an AM radio lives in the middle and a nod to the grille
design is represented in the glove box door. A B&M shifter on
the floor could use a new boot and the black carpet shows some age.
The headliner is in good shape and the trunk has a vinyl mat
showing usage.
Drivetrain
Under that scooped hood is a presentable circa 1978 440ci V8, the
top end of which was rebuilt 3,000 miles ago, says our consignor,
and an Edelbrock intake is topped by a Holley 4-barrel carburetor.
According to our consignor, the A727 Torqueflite 3-speed automatic
behind it was rebuilt 1,200 miles ago and sends power to the 8 � in
rear with 3.23 gears. Drum brakes are employed front and rear and
headers host the first part of the exhaust journey.
Undercarriage
Dry conditions prevail underneath and minimal surface rust is
noted. Dual exhaust runs through FlowMaster mufflers, then straight
back to the widened chrome tips. Suspension consists of torsion
bars up front and leaf springs in back. There is a rusted gap on
the radiator core support near the frame.
Drive-Ability
The late 70's 440 roars to life with a turn of the key and your
cover is instantly blown on your stakeout, and now it's time to
test your mettle in this black beauty. Although she's got good
power and track straight, there is some slop noted in the steering
and she pulls right on braking. But accelerating to catch bad guys
would be no problem at all! Items that are not currently
functioning include the radio, the heater blower, the horn, and the
tachometer. All other items operate as they should. While Classic
Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time
of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be
working at the time of your purchase.
Once a mild mannered commuter car, now a dark knight with a great
profile, an aggressive hood, and bad to the bone wheels. This built
muscle car now belongs to the coveted world of Mopar muscle so
special that there are entire car shows and gatherings dedicated to
that single genre of American automobiles. Are you ready to protect
and serve this '65? Fortunately for you, there are no speed limits
to how fast you can dial the phone to call us today!
