1958 Plymouth Fury Sports Coupe - Buckskin beige/ gold trim - fully restored

Here is an immaculate. restored 1958 Plymouth Fury powered by the "Dual Fury V-800" engine. with dual-quad carburetors. 318 cubic-inches. and 290 horsepower. It uses an automatic transmission with a push-button selector mounted on the upper left side of the dashboard. These were Plymouth's top-of-the-line offerings for 1958. and the company called them their "luxury hot-rods. " There were exactly 5. 03 Furys built for '58. and records indicate that only a small percentage of those still exist today. Each could be identified by the "Buckskin Beige" exterior color accented with anodized aluminum gold trim along the sides. They were only built for 3 years - 1956. '57. and '58 - making this among the last of the breed. This example was subjected to a "blank-check" restoration some 11 years ago by a professional shop in San Diego. The process lasted three years. dictated by attention to detail and spare parts availability. In other words. this was not a quick or cheap job to put lipstick on a pig and sell it down the road; the car was a "keeper" and was restored as such: it was fully disassembled. the body was stripped to bare metal. and any damaged areas were repaired before being refinished in their original color. The chassis was stripped and repainted. with every corresponding system rebuilt/ renewed as necessary. including suspension. shocks. brakes. cooling. transmission. engine. low-restriction dual exhaust. etc. The interior was removed. the shell was repainted and fresh upholstery was installed. including carpet. dash covering. seats. door panels. headliner. soundproofing. and weatherstripping. All interior and exterior chrome was replated; new side trim was located and installed; and new Michelin radial tires and reproduction hubcaps were installed. Since the original drum brakes were considered marginal for a car this powerful. front disc brakes were added. along with a Sirius satellite radio system that works in conjunction with the original radio. augmented by a more powerful speaker in the dashboard and rear deck. Since its restoration. during which the car's odometer was reset to zero. this Fury has only been driven some 2600 miles. usually on its way to or from a car club event of some type. or just fun cruising on the local southern California back roads. The car is licensed and registered in California; the Hawaii plates in the photos were used just for their aesthetics. When it's not on the road it resides in a dry garage under a car cover. It has not been smoked in. and there are no peculiar odors or unusual things to report. It is simply a gorgeous example of a very rare automobile that runs and drives superbly. It receives positive comments whenever it is displayed. It has just had a full service. and it is being offered at a price far below its restoration cost.

In response to questions: Cars of this description are frequently referred to as "Golden Commandos. " For example. the Mecum Auction Company sold a nicely-restored 1958 Fury at their Monterey. CA sale in 2012. Although they originally said it was a 350 cubic-inch engined-car. they revised that and explained it had the standard 318 powerplant. They still referred to it as a "Golden Commando. " That car sold in 8/12 for $70. 00. It is my understanding that "Golden Commandos" had the optional 350 cubic-inch. 305 horsepower engine. This car has the standard Fury-only dual-quad 318 cubic-inch. 290 horsepower engine. Visually. the cars are identical.

This is a turn-key example of an extremely rare and desirable car. which is being sold only due to an approaching loss of garage space. If you follow these cars. you know they do not come on the market often. and when they do. they usually need work. This one is fully ready to go. has no known needs. and needs only a new owner.
