After beginning as a sub-series of the Belvedere in 1956, the Fury became its own separate model in the Plymouth lineup in 1959, with the Sport Fury serving as the brand’s top offering.  Available as both a 2-door hardtop and convertible, this 1959 Plymouth Sport Fury features the latter roofline, with the seller believing it’s a very restorable example.  Reader Zappenduster spotted this one here on Facebook Marketplace in Lincoln, Nebraska, and we’d like to thank him for sending in the fine tip here!  Although the asking price is listed at $18,500, the seller makes it clear he’s flexible on the cost and invites interested buyers to make an offer.

This one is reported to have been off the road since 1966, although no reason is given for why it was only in use for seven years before becoming inoperative.  This one belonged to a friend of the seller, who is now helping the family find this cool Mopar a new home.  It’s said to have been stored inside for a long time, and while most of the panels appear fairly decent, a few areas with some rust are visible, including the right fender and around the wheelwells on both quarters.  The top appears to have been retracted for years, so its overall condition remains a mystery.

The only information provided about the interior pertains to the floors, which are said to be relatively solid for a fifties-era convertible, which doesn’t exactly guarantee a perfect bill of health.  In addition to new seat upholstery, several other areas will need repairs, and the components deemed satisfactory will need a thorough cleaning.  The steering wheel certainly needs replacing, but hopefully, the transmission selector buttons on the dashboard will prove functional.

This one’s said to have a Polysphere engine, which means it’s the standard 318 V8.  The mechanical details here are sparse as well, but with six decades of non-use, I’d say it’s a safe bet that the motor and automatic transmission are due for an overhaul.  There’s going to be quite a bit of work and expense ahead for the next owner to get this one to like-new condition, but with such fine styling and that great “forward look” design by Virgil Exner, I’m feeling this one’s deserving of a total restoration.  Is this 1959 Plymouth Sport Fury one you’d enjoy taking on as a project?
