Plymouth : Fury Fury III GranSport

1972 Plymouth Fury III GranSport 4dr HT

Up for Auction: 1972 FURY

It really needs a good restoration inside. then maybe do the
mechanicals. leaving the paint and body last. You could possibly
even just wetsand and buff whats there and leave the patina :)
Knowing how these cars are loved overseas. chances are this
car may end up in the Europe somewhere when its over.
 fair low reserve making this a car almost anyone
can afford.

In 1972 the FURY had an optional Hide A Way headlight system 
available. a pretty rare and unique option. and luckily this car
got that option. The front end is amazing looking and in really
great shape too. Theyll never build cars like this again and this 
1 is a keeper. It has a evil look to it just sitting there !
With this car you get a Muscle car look front end. luxury driving
of a 4dr . and the open feel of a coupe when you drop down all
4 windows and cruise around with your friends or family.
This car has alot of factors not found in other cars from the same
era.

The car always looks better in pics. but its still a nice body with
a fair original interior.  If you check out how Plymouth sloped the
rear back window. its almost considered a fastback design.
Not alot of these cars have survived this long so restoring this 
Fury you can almost assure you wont see another one at your
local car show. and people always ask you what it is. Its really a piece
of history youll love putting back on the road and driving.

A brief description of the vehicle. the car was taken off the road
a few yrs ago and parked. When we got it it wasnt running so
we did a few things to get the motor running and moveable around
the parking lot. Not sure how the gas in the tank is so for now we
are running it off a small tank of fuel under the hood. I may
try to check the tank and hook it up there this week if I have time.

As far as we could track the cars history. its always been in AZ
so its about a 90% rust free car. Youll see in the pics below some
rust on the rr 1/4 panel and some inside the trunk from moisture
under the original rubber mat over the yrs. Its still not near as 

bad as a true east coast car. Check out All the pics below to get

a better idea of what to expect. Pics are worth 1000 words and
we have pics all around and under the car below. about 150 total.
Not sure why more sellers dont do this. seems like the best way
to sell a vehicle over the internet.

Because the car has been off the road for a few yrs. Id probably
suggest doing a full check of belts. hoses and maybe change
some of the fluids before making it a daily driver. unless you plan
on going thru the mechanics first  during a restoration.

Restore it back to stock or do something along the lines of a 
restomod with a small drop and some 20" cop car style rims on 
it would be awesome.
 Either way. youd have a really cool and unique 1 of a kind car
your friends only wished they had for such a low investment.

DRIVETRAIN:  best we can tell its a matching #s car with
the factory V8. 318 V8 2v motor
matted to a 3 spd auto.
Transmission and brakes feel good and no wierd
noises coming from the rearend. Tires all in decent shape
too. Motor runs well for not being tuned up and has
plenty of torque and power for its age.

INTERIOR: All original dk green needs alot of attention.  
But at least doing an interior is cheaper then fixing rust
for weeks on end. The Az sun has been brutal to the old
Chrysler plastic and rubber. and the carpet smells like oil
for some reason. Door panels can probably be saved.
Front bench seat has a bucket look to is. which is cool.
All the glass is good and windows all work.

All the rubber and weather stripping is dry and toasty.

EXTERIOR: Original color is the green you see in the pics and
I believe the car is wearing all of its original paint still.
It has a few dents and bumps. but not bad for a 40+ yr old car.
A little rust around the back window but not as bad as youd expect.
The vinyl tops been off for yrs here in the desert.  Check out all the 
Pics below and if you have questions. please email me.
 But I dont see any signs of
huge bondo spots or rust repairs.  Stainless and chrome  not in
bad shape for being 40+  yr old. But again its not a restored car either.

SUSPENSION: all factory the best I can tell and Im sure some bushings
are old and shocks. but again this stuff is easy to fix these days
then rusted out bodies. Its not as mushy or tank-like of a drive as I
expected to be. The car drives like a smaller 2dr car to be honest 
and Im sure with a few upgrades it would be even more fun to drive.
The torsion bar front end and rear leafs. making lowering this car
if you want. super easy.

Check out ALL the pics below ----->

it may take a full minute for them all to load if you have a
slow connection. so be patient AND looks for the extra schroll
bar on the right side.
Az gets maybe 12" a yr of rain and Az very dry climate.
more info AFTER the pics etc. There are 100 large pics.

There you have it. probably The BEST represented Furys on Ebay.  
Shows you all the good as well as any bad. hope you appreciate them.
We put a lot of time and effort in marketing our cars and it shows.
People wait months for a car this solid to come up for sale
and even if you have to pay shipping to your area. it still beats
paying a body shop to hopefully fix a rusty car for weeks on end.
Having as much as the original steel on a restored car these days
speaks volumes.  

Also. if you buy a car thats been "restored". who knows what sort
of surprises are hidden under new paint or thick undercoating.
People are flipping cars all the time when most of the jobs are
fast. for a quick buck and quality suffers.

exactly what you have in the end.
