For Sale: 1962 Plymouth Sport Fury in Cleveland, Ohio

Incredible professional build. 528 cubic inch HEMI V8 with EFI. 4-speed automatic. 4-wheel disc brakes. A/C, power steering, power windows. Incredible paint and bodywork. Seriously fast, yet beautiful in every way!?This 1962 Plymouth Sport Fury convertible is the archetypal iron fist in a silk glove. The purposeful looks of the Sport Fury have been turned up a notch with incredible paint and bodywork, while underneath there's a massive HEMI with serious firepower. We have photos documenting the build showing a bare-metal respray on an already very clean southern car, and when you're going to paint it black, well, there are no shortcuts. The final finish is just spectacular, with ripple-free quarters and a deep shine that looks like you could swim in it. Nothing was shaved or modified, so all the beautiful Sport Fury details remain intact, including the chrome side trim that highlights the dramatic fender lines and the strip of chrome that reaches from the windshield to the rail. All the chrome was restored during the build, so it sparkles like jewelry against the rich black paint. Little details make this car special, including a '528 HEMI' badge subtly installed on the hood as well as a little skull inside the original hood ornament. There might be a few signs of use, but almost everything could be erased with a good buff and wax. This is still a jaw-dropping car.?The red and black interior replicates a factory look with leather seating surfaces. Buckets and a console are always a cool find in a full-sized cruiser, and the roll bar has been expertly installed so it doesn't get in the way. Plush carpets help with noise and heat control, and a custom center console houses the shifter for the 4-speed automatic transmission. The dashboard is original, but it now houses a full array of Auto Meter gauges to watch all the engine's vitals. Everything else was smoothed and finished, with the secondary controls, AM/FM/CD stereo head unit, and A/C vents all neatly tucked down low so they don't attract attention. There's a custom billet wheel on a tilt steering column, a level of comfort that these cars didn't offer in 1962, and for convenience, the rear windows are power-operated. There's a snug-fitting black power convertible top that folds easily and stows under a matching black boot. The Sport Fury also includes a positively massive trunk that has been neatly upholstered in black carpets for a finished look.?The real story, however, is under the hood, where you'll find 528 cubic inches of HEMI V8. Packed with all the good stuff, it makes a reported 600 horsepower. The details include a Callies billet steel crank, Eagle connecting rods, Arias aluminum pistons, a Crower roller valvetrain, and a set of Stage V aluminum heads up top. Induction is an Electromotive multi-port computerized fuel injection system with an 1100 CFM throttle body and matching crank trigger ignition system with 4 coils. Magnesium valve covers just look slick and the custom air cleaner assembly replicates the vintage HEMI look with a modern twist. The block itself was bathed in Hemi Orange paint, while the rest is basic black, creating a show-worthy engine bay that you'll be eager to display. There's a fresh aluminum radiator up front with custom electric fans controlled by the engine computer, and the accessories were mounted down low so they'd be out of sight. It's backed by an A618 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission and a Ford 9-inch nodular rear end with 3.70 gears inside, so it's quick around town but pretty easy-going on the highway. A 3-inch custom exhaust system sounds downright spectacular, yet tucks out of the way so there are no ground clearance issues. Out back there's a new stainless gas tank and there's a disc brake at all four corners. Heavy-duty subframe connectors reinforce the tub, and it sits exactly right thanks to Hemi torsion bars and Super Stock springs out back. 15-inch steel wheels and basic hubcaps give it a predatory look, and they're fitted with staggered Mickey Thompson radials.?Documentation includes a show board, restoration photos, and receipts for more than $9000 worth of recent service work.?Cars like this shine brightest when you look at the details. Yes, there's a monster of a HEMI under the hood, and that has a lot of swagger, but it's the little stuff that makes this car truly special. You can see where the money was spent, and it surely cost considerably more than the asking price to build. If you're an early Mopar performance fan, the Sport Fury has to be a favorite, and this one takes everything that's great about the Industrial Strength Mopars and turns it up to 11.
