PC Classic Cars in Sherman, Texas has a stunning 1967 Plymouth Fury in their showroom, but hold on a second that blood-red paint job doesn’t signify a possessed vehicle like the one in Stephen King’s Christine. The haunted hero of that story was a 1958 Fury.
The Plymouth Fury nameplate boasts a rich history, though. Debuting in 1956 as a variant of the Belvedere, it became a distinct model a few years later, offering a step up in terms of features.
The Fury’s story is one of size transformations, transitioning from a full-size car to a mid-size one and back again throughout its lifespan. Its reign as a powerful V8-powered, rear-wheel drive machine also came to an end in 1988. Unlike its cousin Dodge, which saw the return of big, rear-wheel drive muscle cars, Plymouth wasn’t around to witness that resurgence.
The brand itself was discontinued in 2001. But fear not, Plymouth enthusiasts! This 1967 Fury with nearly 97,000 miles on the odometer could be your chance to own a piece of automotive nostalgia.
Revealing a vibrant makeover is a 1967 Plymouth Fury, its head-turning red paint a bold departure from its original sunshine yellow exterior. Stepping inside, a classic black interior awaits, true to the era’s muscle car spirit. But this Fury isn’t just about aesthetics under the hood lies the original 383 cubic inch V8 engine, its power enhanced with Edelbrock aluminum heads for a thrilling ride.
A three-speed automatic transmission ensures smooth gear changes, and the dealership boasts that this Fury runs and drives like a dream. Modern upgrades ensure a pleasurable driving experience. An aluminum radiator keeps the engine cool, while dual electric fans prevent overheating, especially on hot days.
A throaty dual exhaust system not only improves performance but also lets everyone know this Fury means business. Inside, the focus is on pure driving enjoyment. Bench seats and a column shifter provide a no-frills, classic feel. Creature comforts are kept to a minimum, with the absence of air conditioning being a potential drawback for some.
However, power steering makes maneuvering this hefty car a breeze, and a modern radio adds a touch of convenience for your favorite tunes on the road. The price tag for this head-turning classic? $27,500.
So, the question remains: is this Plymouth Fury a perfectly restored muscle car ready to cruise, or a project car in disguise that requires additional investment? The answer depends on your priorities and budget. For a true Plymouth enthusiast with some wiggle room left for customizations, this Fury could be a steal.
