The Plymouth Fury got a redesign for the 1962 model, with these refreshed third-generation cars now riding on Chrysler’s new B-Body platform, along with the brand bringing back the Sport Fury trim package. The hardtops also got a revised roofline in ’64, with the rear glass now peeking around the sides, which seemed to help give the car a more aggressive look from this angle. I’ve always been a fan of the 1964 styling, and hope somebody will see enough promise in this 1964 Plymouth Sport Fury here on Craigslist in Dilley, Oregon, to bring it back to life. There’s a lot of work to be done, but with a low asking price of $1,800, maybe there’ll be funds remaining to invest in this one. Curvette, thanks for your tip here!
Unless you’re into the worn and weathered look, the exterior isn’t very appealing in its present condition, and the body will certainly require a considerable amount of work. However, other than the grille and other front-end components, this one appears pretty much complete on the outside. Although it doesn’t seem extensive, there’s some rust in the driver’s quarter, and the same panel on the passenger side is dented. Perhaps each can be repaired by a skilled bodyman, and the rest of the sheet metal straightened out adequately enough to merit a fresh paint job.
This Sport Fury is stated to have been off the road for over three decades, probably because the factory 318 engine is stuck. Unless the future owner is a stickler for keeping powerplants numbers-matching, it might make more sense and would certainly be more fun to install something with more performance capabilities, with the seller offering both a 383 and a 440 from his collection that can be purchased separately. Depending on their cost and functionality, one of these may be worth considering, unless you happen to have a good Mopar motor sitting dormant in your garage.
The instrument cluster has been borrowed, but the seller has a replacement that will be included in the sale, along with a core back seat from a 1964 Dodge, which likely means you’re on your own for the front unit. Potentially positive news is that the trunk pan and rails are mentioned as good, with some sections of the floor remaining solid as well. Plenty of work will be ahead here for the buyer, but if you’ve got the know-how, this 1964 Plymouth Sport Fury might be a decent eighteen-hundred-dollar project. What are your thoughts?
Needs everything but doesn’t cost much. If you can do the work it could be a sweet machine.
can’t even to begin to imagine why the engine is stuck.

For 1800.. bucks you can’t loose, it’s got thousands of dollars worth of parts, at least. It will definitely be worth what you put into it. I got a 65 in the same shape, this is inspiring me to get it done. Good luck seller and buyer!

Although I’m a Chevy guy, I always liked the B pillar on these Plymouth cars.
I like the thin “C” pillars. No “B” pillars on this car.
Well if there is no B pillar, wouldn’t the next letter be a B?
AI explanation:
In an automobile, A, B, and C pillars are vertical structural supports located sequentially from the front to the rear of the vehicle. The A-pillar supports the windshield, the B-pillar is located between the front and rear doors, and the C-pillar is situated behind the rear doors.

The 2 door factory lightweight had a B pillar and no backseat. I guess that makes it a business coupe with a Hemi and alloy bumpers.
Most likely stripped of it’s good parts…..but just lucky the owner might have some bits laying around…..
