The Plymouth VIP was built for buyers who wanted full-size Mopar comfort with a more upscale personality, and this 1968 example appears to have lived a quiet life before being tucked away in storage. Located in Hamburg, this Plymouth VIP is now offered at auction with a clean title and a reserve.
The story is one of the car’s strongest selling points. According to the seller, their great-grandfather purchased the Plymouth from a retired school teacher in Schuylkill, Pennsylvania. It was later parked at the seller’s grandmother’s house, where it reportedly sat untouched for more than 20 years. Around 15 years ago, the car was moved to the family farm, where it has remained stored indoors, covered in dust.
Power comes from a 318 V8 paired with an automatic transmission. The odometer shows 34,032 miles, and the seller states that the car was started while parked and moved to its current location approximately 15 years ago. It is not currently being represented as a running driver, so bidders should expect to recommission the fuel system, brakes, cooling system, ignition system, tires, and other consumables before road use.
The seller describes the car as unmolested and states that it has no rust. One flaw is disclosed: the car suffered paint damage on one side after the house it was stored at developed a leak, leaving a visible mark in the finish. The seller says the damage did not destroy the paint or body panel, but it is noticeable in the photos.
The photos show a green two-door hardtop with a black interior, original-style wheel covers, intact trim, a complete cabin, and an engine bay that appears largely untouched. The car has the kind of preserved estate-find appeal that is hard to fake, especially given the long family history and indoor storage.
This VIP is part of a broader family collection, and the seller notes that a previous vehicle from the same estate, a Dodge Aries wagon, was already sold through Barn Finds. If you’d like to have the car inspected, the seller is happy to arrange it, but they do note that it is currently stored at a working farm.
For Mopar enthusiasts looking for something different from the usual Charger, Road Runner, or Barracuda, this 1968 Plymouth VIP offers full-size presence, V8 power, clean-title status, and an appealing long-term estate-find backstory. It will need careful recommissioning, but its originality and history of indoor storage make it worth a closer look.

This is the first two door hardtop I have seen with four door handles.
Those are getting to be extremely rare!
Yep,two doors on one side.Two doors on the other.
Lots of presence, and lots of green!
One editorial comment though…”The photos show a green two-door hardtop…”. Unless its on my end, this car looks like a four door HT…
GLWTS!
I’m guessing there’s more problems from sitting that long and why it wasn’t saved before now. You’d better hear it run or else just expect it needs major drivetrain work.
68 Fury was the first car I ever drove. I miss it. This one will clean up nicely from a professional detail in and out. Before doing a cleaning job. I would pull the engine and rebuild it. Its sitting too long. I seen how oil gets cake up in a 318 if engine never warms up properly. As for the 904. Check the fuild if its clean or ok. I would drain it and replace the filter. I was thinking a nice 360-4 would work really nice here. And dual exhaust. This Fury is worth saving. I hope a good Mopar person will get it and fix her up. Good luck to the next owner. 🇺🇸🐻
first thing you do is pull the plugs an squirt the cylinders with oil and change the oil, let it sit and then crank the engine over with no compression. then try to start it with fresh gas.
This definitely would make a great project. If its just as solid underneath as it does up top, that would be fantastic . Theres what appears to be a very clean green K Car wagon in the background in a couple of the photos. Get it sorted buff it out detail it and enjoy. I agree with Big Bear, if the original 318 has issues, a nice running 360 with duals would be really nice.
Cosmetically nice, the stuff that makes it a VIP is all there and looks good. Conventional wisdom is that a far lower percentage of big Plymouths were VIPs than Ford and Chevy buyers opted for LTDs and Caprices because prospects got the upsell to a Chrysler Newport and such a big chunk of Plymouth’s C-bodies went to cops and cabs which were all strippo Fury Is, so that would make this car at least rare-ish.
318 looks lonely in there.
Caprice, LTD , VIP. The marketing department hung some great names on the luxury end of the low price three. As a kid I was familiar with the other two but never heard of a VIP. This here looks like an ad car with its 318 and no radio. Pretty solid looking and the interior appears crisp. If you could buy it right you might have a sweet ride. When you’re done with it.
This is a big, tough, ole, easy to work on car. Mom had a 68 wagon 383 she hauled us kids around in …..50 + years ago. Never gave a lick of trouble. I miss mom and the car.
This is a sparsely optioned VIP, being that the VIP was Plymouths flagship. 318, no radio, roll up windows and aftermarket AC. First order of business would be a timing set as that nylon cam gear will disintegrate after a few hundred miles with a heavy foot. Swapping the motor, why? Way to ruin an all original car, about the strongest thing this car has going for it!!! Those 318/2 barrels moved those boats around just fine.
Really love these year Fury’s. Even if the engine needs a rebuild it’s worth saving. Really solid looking original car.
Nice car, worth dsaving like I did with my 67 Fury III. Mine is a 318, with a factory column shift 3 speed, original paint a cool car that the masses likes because of it s quirky drivetrain but mainly for its originality, its only original once. I added dual exhaust, lowered 3″, 20″ & 16″ wheels. I get lots of compliments. Have fun with YOUR cars kids !!!
