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. 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. Car is
stored in MA and comes with a clean title in the owner's name.
