A 1967 Plymouth Fury brochure mentions the “curves” that buyers expected to see in hardtops and convertibles being available in the sedan as well. I wouldn’t exactly call this 1967 Plymouth Fury II two-door sedan curvy, but I think it’s a great design despite being more angular than curve’ular. Plus, it’ll be easier to block sand this car and you can see that it needs some help with the exterior.
The fourth-generation Plymouth Fury was made for the 1965 through 1968 model year in a four-door station wagon, four-door hardtop and sedan, two-door hardtop and sedan, and two-door convertible body styles. There was a Sport Fury and VIP available for those who had to have higher trim levels. Despite the mottled look of this car, it looks pretty straight overall. I think the hood may be unlatched, which could be why that gap is shown.
This is a little too much “patina” for me, but I wonder what this car would look like after a couple of hours with a buffer and some polishing compound. I bet it would have a pretty interesting and probably much nicer look. Would that translate into more money? The 1967 Fury line was updated with crisper lines and a much more modern look. I can’t think of one thing I would change about this design.
The seller says this Fury II has been sitting for 20+ years and needs to be restored. I have half a mind (and I could just stop there) to just get everything mechanically functioning perfectly and drive it as it looks now. I’d want to redo the front seats (the backseat looks great) and add new carpet, but body-wise, I’d leave it and maybe pick away at it when or if I had time. There are more stories to tell about this car and the way it looks now than if it were restored to like-new condition.
This isn’t a 225 slant-six or even 318 as most of us would have guessed, this is Plymouth’s 383-cu.in. OHV V8, which would have been factory-rated at 270 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque when new. It sends power through a three-speed TorqueFlite transmission to the rear wheels. This one appears to have headers so add a bit for that, and who knows what else is going on there. The seller says it runs and shifts, but it’s pulling gas through a boat tank in the trunk and has no brakes. They have this interesting project car listed here on eBay in Terre Haute, Indiana and there is a $4,000 buy-it-now price listed or you can make an offer. Any thoughts on this two-door Fury II?
It’s an unusual though cool body style. These aren’t particularly sought after and there is a lot of visible rust and who knows what else needs fixing for the asking price. Though it’s not expensive, this car lives in the segment of the market where price and condition rather than passion motivates potential buyers.

As of 9/20, the seller has lowered the asking price to $3,800. If they lowered the price once, they are likely to be receptive to offers.

This would be a fun car to clean up and not go broke on. The style is appealing and the price can be hammered. Thank you to the individual who ticked the 383 on the order sheet too
You can hardly go wrong with a C-body with 383 and 727. The trunk is huge, so it would be perfect for trips to Wally-world or Lowe’s. Or a perfect winter beater.
(three thumbs up!)
Even with it’s massive trunk area in the winter time these are not a very good beater as it’s balance to weight ratio in the rear half of the car make it difficult to drive on slushy or icy roads as I had a 4dr sedan or this same car & no it stinks in the winter time
Us boomers know how to drive these cars in the winter. I drove cars like these in the worst Ohio winters, including the blizzard of ’78. Once again some troll has to complain about something.
In 1978 I had a 4 door version and drove it through Ohio’s blizzard with no problems with the exception of parking it. The snow was 3 feet high. I sold it a couple years later and went to a Dodge long wheelbase van. Got tired of running my construction business out of the trunk of a car.
I drove to Chicago 3 years ago to check a cream colored Fury out. I wanted the “police car” looking Fury but it was too far gone for me.
Nice article Scotty. These cars were common place back in the day but it would make a pretty unique driver into today’s world. Looks like the perfect starter car from one wanting to get into the hobby. The fuel system and brakes would be an easy fix. I’d reupholster the front seat with factory material, probably go to black walls and factory dog dishes (to better fit the Fury I / Fury II feel)- Buff it out -then drive and enjoy it !!!

You can say that again! Oh nevermind you did, 3 times! 😂
When I was 17 I thought these were classy cars (as well as the Imperial).
Nice article Scotty. These cars were pretty common place in the day but would be an awesome daily driver today. The 2dr post being the icing on the cake! The brakes and fuel system should be an easy fix. This would be a great car for someone wanting to get into the hobby at a low cost, I’d reupholster the front seat, put on black walls and dog dishes (to better fit the Fury I / Fury II character) …drive it and enjoy it!
That car would look 👀 awesome Pro Street with a blown and injected Hemi without a hood on it with the same patina untouched lol 😝 🤙🏽🤙🏽🍻
I have yet to ever see a 67 2-dr sedan especially with the 383. with only 2783 being made, I wonder how many came ordered with the BB. I had a shot of buying a 1965 Fury 1, 2-dr sedan with the 383 Commando, several years back. The car was ordered by a large Municipality Police Dept. and used as a Vice unit. It even had bucket seats. Owner had second thoughts about selling due to family sentimental reasons which the car has sat for over 45 years and is still sinking in a storage yeard. This 67 would be nice with a set of dog dishes, a fresh coat of paint among other things etc.
Glenn, I have a 67 Sport Fury FastTop with a 383 Commando thinking of selling it
Thanks for the offer but only enough room for one car, my Challenger R/T. Good luck with your sale.
I don’t think I have ever seen a ’67 Fury II in a two-door sedan. Fury I, yes, but not a Fury II.
The ’67 Plymouths were good cars.
Wonderful toy for entry into a great and ever more expensive hobby.
The motor alone makes it a winner.
Bought a 1967 Plymouth Fury 2 as my 1st car in 1976 for $300 from. A couple in their 70s. Only had 47k on it Lobed that car.
I would recondition everything mechanically, restore the interior and leave the patina.
This car was built with factory A/C, but none of the components are visible under the hood. Would be nice to know if they come with the car. Also, no belt driving the P/S pump. Does it work, and just needs a new belt? Or are you heading into a bottomless money pit with this one? Definitely unique body style. Usually only see these with a slant 6, if you ever see one at all. Would like to see a VIN plate just to know if the 383 is original to this car. Lots of potential but be prepared to keep the checkbook open.
The VIN is shown in a picture, the engine code is G.

Ian, all of the questions you’re asking are in most cases relevant but completely not important with this particular car considering the end value. Don’t you suppose that you could easily find those answers out in the first conversation with the seller? Bottom line, It’s a cool car that’s a blank canvas for many different directions. It’s clearly a project car that’ll need some work to get it functional. But the truth is you have no intention or ability to address any of the issues you listed just by your line of questioning.
There’s a lot of nice low mileage Camrys on the market that are complete and ready to drive. Best for you to consider.
I disagree, if these 67 Fury 11s came from the factory with PS, Power and or disc brakes and Factory AC, then you want them to be working properly. All these creatures comforts were available in 1967. But at sellers asking price you may have to pay to get those options operating again.
I’m loving those 67 Fury 11, very reasonable price for a running 383 and minimal rust and straight panels. I’m normally a Ford and Chevy lover, but am coming on board with some of these Mopars these days. This 67 year Mopar has similar lines to 60s Fords Galaxie and Thunderbirds, IMO

Seen a lot of 4-door sedans, but never
a 2-door post. I do recall seeing a ’65
or ’66 2-door sedan, but it was only one of 10 that had a 426 hemi with a
4-speed tranny. And I think that might’ve been 20 or more years ago as it was listed in the National Auto
Trader for over $50K back then. Used
to buy ’em to get ideas for the car
portraits I used to sell. Me, I’d get it
running, driving, and stopping so that
I could get some use out of it and take some of the miles off my K5 sedan. And yes, that would mean
dashing with it too. Only thing stopping me is insurance. Here in
Florida, companies like Victory love to
charge 3 or more times the going rate
to insure a 2-door car since these are
classified as sports cars here. Got
ripped off for $3,600 insuring a ten year old Mustang II coupe in ’87. Never again! That’s why I buy only
4-doors these days. My wife was a safe driver with no tickets or accidents, and still we got charged
$3,600 a year for that car to cover it.
That’s why I was very happy to scrap
it after I bought a ’73 Maverick 4-door.
