Walk Softly: This 1967 Plymouth Sport Fury Looks Gorgeous. Look Underhood If You Want Your Excuse To Buy It.

Elwood Engel’s slab-sided design theme was the dominant feature of the mid to late 1960s Chrysler lineup. Engel, who had been instrumental in keeping Lincoln alive during his tenure at Ford, was the driving force in pulling Chrysler products out of the Exner era. Fins were replaced with three-box cars, but by 1967 the rooflines started to slope a bit as designers gave into the pressure for a sporty look. The 1966 Dodge Charger really exemplifies this trend, but look at the lines on this emerald 1967 Plymouth Sport Fury. Big car size with a slight fastback roof signified what was to come around the corner.

How this car looks this good fifty years on is a good question. We will simply assume a recent restoration. But that paint…that interior…that trim! Beautiful! And it’s a factory big block/four-speed car, too. Which reminds us…take a look under that expansive aircraft carrier deck of a hood. Trust us.

    “What engine would you like sir”
