The Plymouth Fury was introduced for the 1956 model year as a sub-series of the Plymouth Belvedere, becoming a separate series one level above the contemporary Belvedere for 1959. The Fury was a full-size car from 1959 until 1961, then a mid-size car from 1962 until 1964, again, a full-size car from 1965 through 1974, and again, a mid-size car from 1975 through 1978. From 1975 until 1977, the Fury was sold alongside the full-size Plymouth Gran Fury. In 1978, the B-body Fury was the largest Plymouth, and by 1979, there was no large Plymouth. This product gap was filled in 1980 with the R-body Gran Fury, followed by the M-body Fury in 1982.
Built at Plymouth’s Delaware plant, chassis PM23F76281584 was delivered to Reliable Motors Inc of Chattanooga, Tennessee on 23rd August 1967. First owned by Charles J. Moore, the Fury III 2-door hardtop is thought to have remained in the Deep South until being shipped across The Pond during 2018. Embarking upon a partial restoration, its first UK keeper relinquished possession to the vendor in July 2023 but not before the 318ci V8 had been thoroughly overhauled. Topped by an Edelbrock inlet manifold and Holley 4-barrel carburettor, the engine is allied to TorqueFlite automatic transmission. The braking system has been uprated with a servo and front disc conversion, while the stock exhaust manifolds feed into twin pipes. The wiring has been fettled and some remedial paintwork carried out. Finished in White with Red stripes and Red upholstery, the Plymouth does not want for road presence! The vendor advises us ‘the car burbles discretely as it should and the underside is solid and very original’. Even the shadow of the original dealer’s decal is still to be found on the trunk, clear-coated to protect it. Thought to have covered some 500 miles since the engine refresh and to have had over £8,000 spent on it in recent years, this appealing Yank is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, owner’s handbook and assorted invoices.
