Introduced in 1959, the Plymouth Sport Fury beat Chevrolet to the full-size sporty car game by two years. Offered sporadically through 1971, the Sport Fury was akin to the Chevy Impala Super Sport, with bucket seats and more glitz. This 1966 edition has the look of a restored automobile, though only a recent rebuilt of its 440 cubic inch V8 is mentioned. Located in South China, Maine, this looker is available here on Facebook Marketplace for $21,500. Thanks go to “RichardinMaine” for this hot tip!
Plymouth returned to a larger platform for its full-size cars in 1965, so the 1966 editions were minimally changed. The lineup was the same (Fury I, Fury II, Fury III, and Sport Fury) except for the addition of the VIP (acronym for Very Important Plymouth and a competitor to the Ford LTD and Chevy Caprice). The Sport Fury had a 318 cubic inch V8 as standard, with two versions of the 383 and a 440 offered as upgrades. The seller’s car has the latter, though we don’t know if its numbers-matching.
This Mopar looks shipshape and ready to go, with a set of aftermarket “mag” wheels to help set it off. The Sport Fury was only offered as a 2-door hardtop and convertible, so the seller’s edition is one of more than 32,500 steel roof models produced in ’66. It comes with a 727 automatic transmission, 8.75 rear end, and 3.55 gears. So, it should be a spirited ride, and the seller confirms it performs well.
The C-body, red paint, and black interior all look great. No mention is made of the odometer reading, but it’s not a stretch to say all of it’s been refreshed. While the seller would prefer hard, cold cash, trades will be considered. But there’s no indication of what kind of car he would be willing to go for.
