For Sale: 1967 Plymouth Fury III in Hingham, Massachusetts

Zoom Classic Cars presents this 1967 PLYMOUTH FURY III CONVERTIBLE. If you've ever wanted a big, beautiful 1960s American convertible, this 1967 Plymouth Fury III deserves a close look. Purchased by the current owner in 1974, this Fury is finished in classic white over a red cloth interior, with its original power black convertible top, this Fury delivers exactly what made full-size Mopars of the era so appealing - dramatic styling, generous proportions, plenty of chrome and a relaxed, comfortable driving experience. This is a solid, straight and very presentable example that has clearly been enjoyed and maintained by its owner rather than simply prepared for sale. It retains its original 318 cubic-inch V8, 727 Torqueflite Automatic transmission and retains the character of a genuine 1967 Fury III while presenting beautifully from virtually every angle. And yes - it's a big car. A really big car. The kind of car that reminds you when American automobiles were designed to make an entrance. The Fury occupied an important place in Plymouth's lineup during the 1960s. Positioned as one of Plymouth's major full-size offerings, the Fury combined increasingly dramatic styling with the performance, comfort and practicality expected from a large American automobile. By 1967, Plymouth had given the Fury a thoroughly modernized look, with crisp body lines, a substantial grille, sculpted rear quarters and the long, sweeping proportions that defined the era.The Fury III represented the upscale portion of the Fury lineup, making it particularly attractive today to enthusiasts who appreciate the combination of full-size comfort and distinctive Mopar styling. The convertible body style adds another dimension to the car's appeal. With the top down, the long hood, expansive interior and sweeping body lines create the quintessential 1960s American boulevard cruiser. This is not a little sports car. This is a Mopar. And its a well preserved Mopar with 150K Original Miles. Under the hood is the car's original 318ci V8, equipped with a two-barrel carburetor.The engine compartment is exceptionally clean and has been tastefully enhanced with Mopar Performance valve covers and a chrome air cleaner. The presentation under the hood reflects the overall character of the car - clean, cared for and ready to enjoy without being excessively modified. The 318 is a particularly appealing engine for a car like this, offering the combination of traditional Chrysler small-block character, smooth operation and straightforward serviceability.The Fury runs and drives well, providing the relaxed cruising experience for which these big Mopars were built.The Fury wears a single repaint in white that continues to show very well. The body is solid and straight, with no apparent evidence of filler, and the panels display excellent fitment. There are a few minor imperfections, including some imperfections in the pinstriping, as shown, but overall the car presents extremely well. The combination of white paint, black convertible top and red interior is one of those classic color combinations that simply works. The original-style black power convertible top is in very nice condition and provides a striking contrast against the white exterior. Lower the top and the Fury becomes an entirely different automobile - open, dramatic and unmistakably 1960s with Power Steering. Inside is a remarkably well-preserved red cloth interior that complements the white exterior beautifully.The seats remain in excellent overall condition with no rips, tears or significant wear, and the interior retains the comfortable, spacious character expected from a full-size Fury.The dashboard is particularly attractive, with no cracks and complete instrumentation, including the factory clock and AM radio. A period-correct aftermarket Craig FM radio with cassette player has been discreetly installed beneath the dashboard, providing a little more modern functionality while leaving the original dash intact. The car also retains seatbelts.Overall, the interior presents as a very honest and well-maintained example of a 1967 Fury III.The Fury's extensive exterior brightwork remains one of its strongest visual attributes.The chrome, trim and badging are intact and range from very good to excellent condition, adding plenty of period-correct sparkle to the car. All of the factory tinted glass is clear and in excellent condition, further contributing to the overall presentation. The combination of the straight body, excellent glass, complete trim and substantial chrome gives the car a very finished appearance. The trunk compartment is clean and properly equipped with its trunk mat, full-size spare tire and original jack equipment. Details like these are important on a collector-oriented automobile and add to the car's completeness and authenticity. The undercarriage is also very solid & clean and continues the theme established throughout the rest of the car.The Fury features a dual-exhaust system with chrome exhaust tips exiting beneath the rear bumper, providing a great-sounding soundtrack from the 318 V8. The car rides on Tiger Paw tires mounted on the custom rally wheels with chrome trim rings. Adding to this Fury's appeal is its original Chrysler fender tag, which remains with the car and provides a fascinating glimpse into how it left the factory. The tag decodes as PM27, identifying this automobile as a 1967 Plymouth Fury III 2-door convertible. The factory engine code 41 confirms the original 318 cubic-inch, two-barrel V8, while the transmission code 5 identifies the original 727 TorqueFlite automatic transmission. The tag also records the factory tire specification of 8.25 x 14 whitewall tires, a spare tire, and a scheduled production date of January 4, 1967. The original Chrysler shipping/order number is also recorded on the tag. Perhaps most interesting from a collector's perspective, published production records indicate that Plymouth built only 4,523 Fury III convertibles during the 1967 model year. That makes this more than simply a big 1960s convertible. It is a relatively limited-production Fury III open-air Mopar, equipped from the factory with the venerable 318 V8 and TorqueFlite automatic - a combination that made these cars ideal for comfortable long-distance cruising. Let's be honest - today's automobile manufacturers simply don't make cars like this anymore. The 1967 Fury III is large, wide, long and unapologetically American. There's room to stretch out. There's a huge hood in front of you. There's chrome everywhere. The windshield is enormous. The convertible top disappears and suddenly you're driving an open-air American land yacht. And that's precisely the appeal. This Fury runs, drives and handles well, making it more than a static collector piece. It's a car that can be enjoyed the way Plymouth intended - cruising comfortably with the top down and that 318 V8 providing the soundtrack. For the Mopar enthusiast, this Fury offers something increasingly difficult to find: a solid, largely original, full-size 1960s American convertible that hasn't been transformed into something it was never intended to be.It's not trying to be a muscle car.It's not trying to be a race car.It's not trying to be something it's not.It's a Fury III convertible - a big, comfortable, stylish piece of classic American automotive history.And that's more than enough.This is a wonderful opportunity to own one of Plymouth's big, beautiful 1960s convertibles - a genuine full-size Mopar with the presence, comfort and personality that simply cannot be replicated by today's automobiles.
