The Fury was introduced by Plymouth for the 1956 model year as a
series of the Plymouth Belvedere. It would eventually become its
own series placed above the Belvedere. They changed drastically
throughout their production being a full size finned car in the
late 50s, a mid size car from '62 to '64 and then again a full size
car from 1965 through 1974. To keep up with the times the look
would evolve throughout their production and the fourth generation
returned to the new C-body platform. The top of the line version
available was the Sport Fury that was created to compete with the
Impala SS and Galaxie 500XL. They offered a sportier
interior/exterior trim package and had all the best features they
had to offer. In 1967 the body was restyled with sharp angles and
also introduced the iconic stacked quad headlights which brought it
more into the muscle car world. This car is a '68 and they received
mainly minor changes like a grille redesign and side marker lights
but the rear sheet metal/tail light set up was also changed. The
metal on the car is very straight, rust free, and has been
repainted in its original Electric Blue (QQ1). The is then paired
with a White power convertible top that looks great and it comes
with a Blue top boot. The chrome and stainless on it is in great
condition throughout and have a nice shine. The long smooth profile
is further accentuated by the smaller rear fender skirts which at
this point was getting phased out by most manufacturers. The glass
is all in great shape and the top does have a real glass rear
windshield. The car rides on set of nicely polished out Cragar 5
spoke wheels with Goodyear Eagle GTII tires.
Pop the hood and you will find the a Super Commando 383 motor that
runs great. It is fitted with a chrome air cleaner with original
decals and Mopar Performance finned valve covers. The car runs
great and really looks sharp under the hood with the inner fenders
and firewall all painted to match the body. It is a factory AC car
but the AC system as been redone with a more modern Old Air system.
That along with power steering and power brakes (front discs) make
it a great driver. The motor is paired with a 3 speed automatic
transmission that shifts smoothly. The undercarriage is all solid
and the car sounds good through dual exhaust that exits out of the
rear through chrome oval tips.
The interior has factory bucket seats and the upholstery is Blue
with a vinyl and cloth combination. It has the original center
console that houses the shifter and on the back are mounts for the
lap belt buckles. The dash has a very stock look and is painted
Blue with Blue dash pad. It has all of the stock gauges, controls,
and even vents since it was ordered with AC. To avoid cutting up
the dash the modern AC controls and stereo unit have been hidden in
the glove box. The trunk has plenty of storage space and a Black
mat which reveals zero rust looking underneath. It houses one of
the original spares.
This is such a neat car with a great look. It has a unique combo of
muscle car with full size car luxury. It is high quality but is
also being offered up at an affordable price so will give someone
an opportunity to get into the hobby without breaking the bank.
This beauty could be yours for $25,000.00!
