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.
From the listing:
440 Mega Block stroked to 500 cu. for 604 HP and 600 Torque. 500 miles on motor built by
Kinda puts the “Sport” in Sport Fury, don’t it?!
So perfect
TKO600 is a five speed…
Oh my. That IS perfect.
Gnnnnnrrrrrrr…..
Words fail me!
It truly IS perfect!
“What engine would you like sir”
“Ummm…make it touch the fenders on both sides”
Nice car. Think it will squeal the tires? I bet it will squeal the tires.
I owned a \’66 Chrysler New Yorker 2dr hardtop with a very potent 440 and it hooked up very well. Very fast mother @#$%?!.
Is that a 2 door hardtop ?? NO ! Its a 2 door fast top model 29. The rear quarter window is upside down to a normal hard top . very rare ! Thanks for saving that car !
