Here is a car that combines everything that a car enthusiast could want – the top of the line model – Sport Fury, which had the highest trim and equipment level – and equipped with almost every single factory option available – and restored to the highest standard. I mean that – the highest standard. The former owner lavished attention and love and money on this car, and it shows!
Here’s a video of the car in operation
The Sport Fury Hardtop’s most noticeable equipment were the Bucket Seats and console, a huge image improvement over the Fury I, Fury II, and Fury III bench seat and column shift. That stuff is for your Grandpa! Bucket seats are cool! So went the thinking then, and so it is even today! There were a number of other trim and equipment differences between the Furies, but the Bucket seats are the most visible.
Lets go over the full option list on this car – FACTORY A/C, BLOWS COLD -383 V-8 4 BARREL ENGINE – TORQUEFLITE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION – FRONT DISC BRAKES WITH THE SPECIAL DISC BRAKE HUBCAPS – POWER STEERING – POWER BRAKES – POWER WINDOWS – POWER DRIVER’S SEAT – POWER PASSENGER SEAT – “AUTO-PILOT” (CRUISE CONTROL) – AM/FM RADIO – REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER – DELUXE STEERING WHEEL – BUCKET SEATS – CONSOLE .
Here’s the decode sheet from Chrysler Historic on the car.
And a close-up of the option list. that is an impressive list of equipment!
.
The obsessive nature of the restorer can be seen in this photo – every piece of trim restored beautifully, all chrome done nicely, and even the bumper rub strips were located and installed. It is spectacular.
The Paint and bodywork are of the highest quality. This car was beautifully restored in every way.
The reflections on the hood show how nice this car is – it is as nice, or nicer in person !
More reflections. The paint is just spectacular on this car!
Let’s move to the interior – the seats are BOTH power seats, and they work great. All of the seat trim was restored, and it looks like new. the headrests are a nice feature, too. The console is restored, the steering wheel looks like new. it is absolutely beautiful inside!
Look at that seat trim! I have the polishing and metalwork receipts with the car, and I can tell you they spent a fortune on this work.
It’s like opening the door at the Plymouth dealer in 1967 !
Lovely rear seats, note how they were restored with the silver insets, just like new.
Excellent sunvisors and lovely headlining. Also note how nicely done the interior chrome trim is.
Here’s a close-up of the steering wheel, with the gauges lit up in that soothing Mopar green light when the headlamps are on.
that dashboard looks like new. Check out the “Transaudio” AM/FM radio, which works great. Also here is the A/C control, and the other controls. The clock works, too!
Look at that doorjamb! Wow!
383 4 barrel engine, looking like it did the day it left the factory! The big silver box in the foreground is the “Auto Pilot” cruise control.
Take a minute to study the level of detail in the engine bay. It looks like new in here!
That’s clean all the way down!
Super detail.
The paint quality on the underside of the hood is as high as the outside of the car! it is spectacular!
The underside of the trunk is the same way. Of course, the weatherstripping is all new, too.
The trunk is breathtaking, and correct. I used to think that Mopars had trunks finished in body color, but these Furies were done in grey spatter paint. As you can see, this is beautiful ,rust free original trunk sheetmetal! also note the matching whitewall spare and restored jack and lugwrench. The trunk courtesy lamp can also be seen to the upper left. I just love it when I can find a car restored to this level.
More spectacular trunk.
Here are the tailights – beautiful original ones, too, with the special chrome square inserts. There are a few spider cracks in the tailights, but they are in very good condition nonetheless.
these are the special Disc Brake only hubcaps – if you read the edge, you can see it says “Disc Brakes”. You can also see they look like new, which did not come easily, there was a lot of money spent to restore these extremely rare hubcaps. The Disc brakes required a 15 inch wheel.
Here you can see the silver disc brake caliper in the background, and the new suspension components in the foreground.
Excellent glovebox
Clear and brilliant gauges, all of which work properly. The control to the left of the steering column is for the “auto-Pilot”. You click it on, with the switch, and then the roller knob controls the speed. The car has obviously rolled the odometer, let’s assume 104,371 miles.
This is a stunning car!
Here’s the certicard, the Chrysler original owner Identification card for warranty purposes. Sold new in “Garden Grove, Calif”.
Here’s the trim tag. Notice the sequence number on the lower right, 29945. It matches the IBM card from Chrysler Historic, shown below at upper right.
It’s nice that Chrysler historic has the ability to decode these cars. 1967 is the last year for which official factory records exist..
Here are photos of this car when the former owner got it. It came from a salvage yard, with just a trunk dent, as you see it here! way too good to be junked, but that’s what happened.
Here is the build sheet, certicard, and title. You should note that since the car was pulled out of a wrecking yard in Nevada, it has a “Rebuilt-Total loss” brand on the title.
Here is the Owner’s manual for the car.
