In the 1960s, the Fury was the equivalent of the Chevrolet Impala and the Ford Galaxie. Come 1962, the car would be at a competitive disadvantage due to an ill-fated downsizing decision. The so-called “Plucked Chickens” were born on the B-body platform in ’62 and would be Plymouth’s full-size car until 1965. The seller has a beautiful ’62 Fury with low miles, but no information is imparted regarding its history. Located in Branford, Connecticut, this shiny Mopar is available here on Facebook Marketplace for $35,000.

Given that the Fury was smaller than its contemporaries, the car’s sales dropped by 20% in 1962. And that was coming off a weak 1961 because the styling of those cars was almost bizarre. The Plucked Chickens (a Virgil Exner term) got a bad rap, and the Plymouths were better looking (IMO) than the equivalent Dodges. When these full-size cars finally became full-size again in 1965 on a new C-body platform, the B-bodies became intermediates in the line-up and sold well, especially during 1968-70.

The seller’s car looks like either a fresh restoration or a babied original. At 32,000 miles, the latter could be true, and this Mopar was no doubt treasured for more than 60 years by someone. It may have two things working against it versus the seller’s asking price. First, it’s a 4-door sedan rather than a 2-door hardtop. And, second, it has a Slant-Six engine rather than a V8. Those sixes were great motors, but a downsized ’62 Fury was still an ample car to drag around.

The black paint on this machine sparkles, and there isn’t a hint of corrosion in any of the photos. The chrome pieces are all nice and bright. And the bench seat interior looks as though it seldom accommodated any passengers. The seller has been trying to move the car for the past three months, and the asking price and a lack of details are probably not working in its favor. Thanks for the nifty tip, Dennis House.
