Found in a barn and in running and barely driving shape, this 383 powered ’65 Fury III seems like a no brainer for the $2,950 asking price! Fairly solid and close to being a driver, be sure to check out this Mopar here on craigslist out of Tazewell, Tennessee. Thanks to Ikey for sharing this awesome find!
Packing a running 383 this Fury is certainly an attention grabbing find. The engine is a runner, and the car can actually be gently driven, but still needs work to be a street driver. Recently given a tune up, as well as a break job on the front, this Mopar still needs further brake line work, as well as fuel work and repair to the fuel tank. A thorough cleaning under the hood and some preventative maintenance would likely have this beauty humming like a top.
Miraculously even the interior is quite reasonable in this very affordable classic. There is some damage to the back of the bench, but in my opinion it matches the character of the car. In fact, the only real gripe I have about the interior is the minor damage to the seat, and the faded carpet. Otherwise, it doesn’t get much better than this for a car of this background.
What is also surprising is that this Mopar isn’t eaten up with cancer. There is some evidence of some surface rust, and a couple of small pin holes, but there is no blatant rot in the rockers, or quarters. The paint is well worn, but in my opinion holds a rather cool character. Personally the only changes I would make to the exterior of this Fury are fresh tires, and a gentle cleaning. Sort out the mechanical systems, and really you would be left with a cool and fun muscular classic. Who could possibly ask for more? Would you roll the dice on this 383 Barn Find?
