I have said this before, but I will say it again… When fantasy shopping on eBay is usually used these search words within the eBay Motors site: Fury, Polara, Monaco, Newport, and New Yorker. Sometimes when I’m really searching, I add into my search Satellite, Coronet, Valiant and Dart (Though Dart is now becoming a magnet for the new Alfa Dart). So, I thought this would be a great weekend to introduce my fantasy search as this weekend’s theme. Let’s start with the search term “Fury”, and I’ll highlight only the listings that have large clear images.
… You would think the sellers would post large format images if they want the car to sell…
Here is a 1961 Plymouth Fury Convertible, and is one of the most controversial Plymouths, at least until the new “Downsized” Plymouths debuted only a year later. According to the listing:
V-8 Automatic, Power Steering, It was purchased new in Mass. and used as the summer “ride”, It was kept at the summer home and last used in 2004. It has been garaged since last use.
Mileage is in excess of 100,000, We have all 4 hubcaps, There is a service manual with it. The top and seats were redone in the 90’s, It runs and drives. The engine needs to be serviced and tuned. The brakes grab. The drums need to be cleaned out. The dash pad is cracked. The windshield is cracked, The paint is old.
This rare car is a great to spruce up and drive, or is worthy of a full restoration.
These are becoming rare, and the bidding for this car has reached $6,500, with an unmet reserve. So, what do you think it will take to sell this car? See the listing here: [sc:ebay itemid=”121056995947″ linktext=”1961 Plymouth Fury Convertible” ]
This is a 1963 Fury Sedan which now resides in Brattleboro Vermont. The listing states is was originally from Louisiana, so there must be some kind of story behind that… Anyway, according to the listing the car has never seen a winter before. From the images, this looks almost like a daily driver because there are some questionable things regarding its condition… Let’s start with the front bumper… It’s not straight, but it gives the car some character. Moving to the interior, the seats look great, but what the hell is up with that dash? I would love to know the whole story, but in the meantime the car is currently for sale at a Vermont Subaru Dealer, with an opening bid of $3,983. So what do you think of this Fury? See the listing here: [sc:ebay itemid=”230916184919″ linktext=”1963 Plymouth Fury 4-Door Sedan” ]
This is a 1967 Plymouth Fury III 4-door Hardtopwith a littoe over 91,000 miles on the odometer. This is almost a modern car, with a V-8, Automatic, and Air Conditioning among the equipment listed. This is a car that was never a looker in its day, but wow… look at it now. The interior is perfect, the exterior paint shines, and this car has more presence than any BMW or Benz has today. It’s a little pricey at a $7,500 opening bid, but I think this is a great $5,000 car. What do you think? See the listing here: [sc:ebay itemid=”300851578162″ linktext=”1967 Plymouth Fury III” ]
Our last Fury is this 1976 Fury Sedan. This body was shared with Dodge as the Coronet during this time period, and most people recognize this as the generic 70s and 80s Cop Car in Movies and Campy TV Shows. According to the listing:
1976 Plymouth Fury. Far from perfect, but in very good shape where it matters. This car was built in Detroit and sold in Tennessee. It was with one family in Tennessee for over 20 years, then the widow moved to Illinois and stored it until 1993, when she sold it locally with 72,000 miles. That owner had it 10 years, adding about 6000 miles. I have had it just a short time, about 50 miles worth. It has an Illinois title in my name. It has been garage kept it’s entire life. Today may have been the first time it ever saw snow.
The listing goes on and on (and on and on) but it’s clear that this car is the genuine article. Great Daily Driver, or with a Heavy Duty Tow Hitch, it could be a great Race Car towing platform for your SCCA Racer, or LeMons Banger. Bidding is up to $1,000 with an unmet reserve, and the listing states that the reserve is rather modest.
