1967 Plymouth Sport Fury Hardtop

1967 Plymouth Sport Fury Hardtop

For consignment, a 1967 Plymouth Sport Fury hardtop with a title verified 114,138 actual miles, a return visitor to Classic Auto Mall where we first noted the car as a rust free Texas native with a professionally rebuilt 383ci V8. Our consignor has taken it to the next level, replacing things like fuel pump and lines, radiator, battery, transmission cooler, and water pump. It's also garnered a number of show awards including a Best Of and a Top 30.

Exterior
The brochure describes the Sport Fury as "rakish" and by 60's standard, the slab panels do create a streamlined effect along with the steeply slanted C-pillar, in this case augmented by Graphite Metallic gray paint in sharp contrast to the body's Dark Red Metallic. Both colors are in two stage paint and wide, flat horizontal panels reflect the sky just as the 15-inch Cragar SST wheels reflect the ground. Other unique features of the car's profile include the ribbed rocker panel and the red, white, and blue Sport Fury emblem on the fenders. The front is all business with stacked headlight between the wide expanse of a tightly straked grille over a chrome bumper that conforms to both. Wide is the name of the game in back as well where three part horizontal tail lights are joined by a red ribbed trim piece in the center of the latch panel, all at the base of a wide and expansive trunk lid which looks like an ice rink fresh from a Zamboni treatment. Metal and paint are spectacular and a single spider crack is the only imperfection we noted.

Interior
The red and gray palette continues on the interior where sporty, handsome door panels in red vinyl wear a trimmed out gray stripe and kick panel. The fresh looking bucket seats are button tufted and deep as the red sea, parting just enough for a center console to fill the space with a metal topped storage bin. In back, an equally deep red bench presents like a booth in an Italian restaurant with sidewalls that coordinate with patterns on the doors, all in great shape. The 3 spoke steering wheel with horn button on each spoke was standard in the Sport Fury and this one's rim is wrapped in a red vinyl cover. A mix of textures, shapes, and materials create a visual treat on the dash with a large, square speedometer and metal toggles taking center stage. Its design forms a cover, near the end of which is an AM radio and push button climate panel. The center console we mentioned earlier holds a floor mounted shifter, chrome and upright on a beautiful, brushed nickel base. Spectacular red carpet covers the floor, illuminated by the common Mopar courtesy lights on the side of the center console. The chef's kiss for the headliner too, which is just about flawless. The trunk is coated and clean.

Drivetrain
This trip through tidiness continues when we open the hood, revealing the 383ci V8, now with Pertronix ignition system and fueled by an Edelbrock 750 cfm 4-barrel carburetor. An 8 inch rear with 3.23 gears accepts the spinning driveshaft linked on the other end to an A727 Torqueflite 3-speed automatic transmission. Power brakes are configured as front discs and rear drums.

Undercarriage
The chassis was painted and coated, so presents cleanly and uniformly black. A new gas tank resides between the dual exhaust and hits an H-pipe before flowing through Imco muffler and out the back via chrome tips. Suspension is made up of torsion bars in front and leaf springs with Lakewood traction bars in back.

Drive-Ability
Into the red rakish ride we go and the 383 bellows out the back as we put the Torqueflite into Drive and head for the hills, but only in our imagination as we're bound to our test loop. The car has plenty of get up and go and the slightly staggered 60 series tires track straight and handle turns well, and with traction bars, there will be no wheel hop for this underappreciated muscle car! The reverse lights are not working and the turn signals operate only sporadically, but beyond that, all functions operate as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

28,448 Sport Fury 2 door hardtops were produced in 1967, about 10% of production for a line that had sixteen body styles. Based on the ages of the models strewn throughout the 1967 Fury brochure, the Sport Fury targeted a younger audience, putting in their hands a variety of engines including the Super Commando 440 and the mid level Commando 383. Nearly 60 years ago, this was the fun one to have and today, this well sorted and clean example is still capable of delivering good times. Only, let's keep the ice cream cones on the outside, okay?
