The Fury was one of those cars that changed proportions a few times in the Plymouth lineup, sometimes considered a full-size offering, and mid-size during other generations. In 1967, the Fury was riding on Chrysler’s large C-body platform, with several different trim levels available for buyers to choose from. This one here on Facebook Marketplace is a Plymouth Fury III, positioned above the I and II models but below the VIP and Sport Fury, with one great option here being the convertible top. This cool Mopar is in Hyannis, Massachusetts, and has an asking price of $12,000. We’d like to thank reader Bruce M. for sending in the tip here!
The seller mentions that $22,000 has been invested, so my first thought is why he’s asking only slightly more than half that amount. This one’s been on the market for 32 weeks so far, and perhaps the price has been reduced during this period, but I’m surprised nobody has snagged this Plymouth yet. There’s no word whether any bodywork has been performed, but the panels appear straight, with a black finish that seems to be of nice driver quality at a minimum. If this Fury III looks as good in person as it does from the photos, I’d be ready to just put the top down and enjoy driving this one as-is.
It would be more exciting to find a big block under the hood, but there’s a 318 in the bay, with some good news being that it’s been recently rebuilt. Jasper took care of the overhaul here, and with just 400 miles since completion, it should be years or even decades before any serious engine attention will be required. The automatic transmission has also undergone a rebuild, plus there are also fresh brakes, a new gas tank, and a new radiator.
We only get to view a couple of photos spotlighting the interior, and while the instrument panel isn’t in sight, the seats, carpet, and door panels appear to be in more than acceptable condition. No specifics are given regarding the top, but it looks like there’s plenty of good life left for the canvas, and even the plastic rear window shows only minimal fading. There doesn’t seem to be much left to do here, and with $22k invested and an asking price of just $12k, this 1967 Plymouth Fury III convertible sounds like it’s priced reasonably. What do you think?
Always find it silly when sellers say the INVESTED $xx in their cars, only to see asking prices below that same level.
A poor investment indeed, though the results show the cost of one person’s satisfying rebuild.
It probably isnt as nice as it looks in the pics – a supposed Jasper rebuilt engine painted Chevy orange looks suspicious to me , and usually when things like the rear wheel arch moldings are missing, it could mean the rear quarters were rusted out and had some repair work done – maybe good , maybe not. the seats aren’t in the original pattern, and the hood pins ruining the hood does it no favors either
It has the vibes of someone “rebuilding” a previous chop job, and that “redone” interior looks cheap. It also explains the lack of really good pictures. $22k wasn’t spent on this car and it’s not worth $12k
Does not say how many miles are on this ride. Granted, it was a 1967 model, it would need hardened valve seats, but a Jasper Rebuiold???? Same for the transmission, maybe a leaky front clutch seal in the transmission?
I like the stacked headlamps but if it’s all about looks, this ain’t no Pontiac.
no its not a 67 poncho for sure, but id take my chances on the big block 67 galaxie convertible posted here a few weeks back over this fury
I’m going to toss in some sarcasm into the salad by saying if it had a big block bucket seats and a 4 speed manual and don’t forget air conditioning, it would have been gone day 2.
IDK, maybe it isn’t what they say it is, but it’s still a pretty fine Plymouth. Just not worth what they want. Worth a closer look if interested, but I’m not. I didn’t like those headlights.
Fair price for a small block 318 Mopar and trans that’s been rebuilt. Good level entry price for someone looking for a worthwhile venture to get into. Imagine eventually dropping a bigger block Mopar engine at some point down the road. Lots of potential for this girl.
Hood pins?
Nice looking car but I think it warrants a closer look. I do like the white interior but always wonder what the psychology is behind this obsession to buy a convertible a “Summer car” usually inside and out in black or red “Winter” colours. If that car had a pastel exterior and roof and that complemented the interior it would be appealing.
This WOULD be a nice car, if whoever re-built it had done so according to what it originally had, instead of all the modifications, including those hood-pins. And custom aftermarket wheels with lettered tyres tell a story I instinctively don’t like. The minute I see “custom” touches on an older car, I run the other way. This doesn’t look like a “survivor” that someone accurately restored; besides, it’s having been on the market for 32 weeks doesn’t bode well. Hyannis, Massachusetts is right on the south (salt water) coast of Cape Cod. No under-side shots? could be Bondo-City. Too monkeyed-with for me: hard pass on this one, because I would not like it the way that it is, and attempting to restore it back to “factory” would be cost-prohibitive. Once you modify a car, then COUNT ME OUT, please — at ANY price.

I like the 1967 Plymouth, on looks — but I would want one as close as possible to how it left the factory and 1966-1967 showroom, with no “street rod” or other re-fashionings.
