1961 PLYMOUTH FURY 2-door V8 with push button automatic

What I mean is, the farmer that had this car was not going to do anything with it and just let it die and certainly destine for the crusher. He is 78 and couldn’t work on it. This is a rare old car and there’s not many around. Approx 10000 were made and now only a few escaped the scrap yard. It’s been sitting since 1989 in the same spot and finally the farmer wanted to sell it… to me! So I bought it. The down side is, I don’t have the shop space to do a restore project of this caliber. The car is original baby blue or powder blue with what was blue/white interior. The 1961 Fury has uni-body construction, torsion front suspension, flat rear fins, curved grille, long wheel base, large sloping back window, and unique bullet tail lights make it very different to any other cars ever made. This Fury needs COMPLETE RESTORATION inside and out, drive train and brakes. See pictures. All components are there to work with and restore. Anything “soft” has perished over the years like the headliner, dash pad, weather stripping and some of the interior. Windows were down and windshield was out for many years. I did install a windshield right away to keep additional weather from destroying anything further. All glass is nice and nearly all the trim is there. Missing some corner trim. I have an extra grille, curved front trim left & right, extra windshield pillar trim left & right, 2 NOS tail light lens and 5 nice ’61 Fury hubcaps all go with the car deal.

This would be GREAT for a project car to restore back to original, or make an awesome street rod. I must mention that the body has some rocker rust and the car does not run. I think it’s the original poly 318 with a 2-barrel carb. It has the push button shifter automatic and a square sparkle steering wheel. Mileage on the odometer shows 37692.6 and I’m certain it’s turned over. Car appears to have power assisted brakes and a 3-row radiator. Aluminum side trim and aluminum trunk trim are okay. No major dents. Again, there is some rocker rust.

Early publication articles stated on this cars body style is… It’s [the ’61 Fury] kind of weird with furrowed eyebrow scowling and that the designers were captured by aliens and this is what they came up with. Also, other people said it looks like “The insect that ate Tokyo” or is the “angry Plymouth”. Now my friends are kidding me that Ward Cleaver may have test drove this car. Anyone can say what they want…I think it’s a VERY cool looking car.

I’m listing it without a reserve in hopes the new owner will do the restoring as it should be. There are parts out there for these cars and may take some investigation to find because of the rarity and an only a 1-year body style. It’s not like Impala, Chevelle, Corvette, Mustang, GTO or even other MOPAR where there are 1000’s out there to choose parts and/or part companies reproducing body parts. When you are done with this car, you will have something that not everybody has driving around. I’m almost sure it’s the only one on eBay at this time.

I do have clear Colorado documentation for you and not salvage documentation.

Car is located is Colorado Springs, CO zip code 80909

I will assist in loading in any way I can for you.

Thanks for looking and hope to see your bid!!!

'71 Plymouth Hemi Cuda Convertible sells for $3.5M [w/video]

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

We're plenty used to seeing classic cars selling for millions of dollars. It's just that they're usually European: Ferraris, Bugattis, Mercedes and the like. There are some rare American exceptions, usually wearing the names Duesenberg or Shelby. But what we have here is the most expensive Chrysler product ever sold at auction.
The vehicle in question is a Plymouth Barracuda - specifically a 1971 Hemi Cuda Convertible, chassis #BS27R1B315367 - that Mecum Auctions just sold after eight solid minutes of feverish bidding for a high bid of $3.5 million at its auction in Seattle, Washington. That figure positively eclipses the $2.2 million paid for a strikingly similar Hemi Cuda (chassis #BS27R1B269588) fetched nearly seven years ago in Scottsdale and another that was the first muscle car to break the million-dollar mark in 2002.

SRT belatedly claims Plymouth Prowler as one of its own

Wed, 19 Dec 2012

Before Chrysler had Street and Racing Technology, it had Performance Vehicle Operations. What the two entities have in common, before SRT became its own brand, of course, is that each was created to take Chrysler and Dodge (and Plymouth, before it was unceremoniously killed off) vehicles to the next level of style and performance.
We'll leave the question of whether or not the old Plymouth (and later Chrysler) Prowler was ultimately a stylish, performance-oriented car to you, but the boys and girls currently leading the SRT charge at the Pentastar headquarters are keen to accept the retro-rod into the fold.
According to the automaker, all of SRT's current high-performance models owe a debt of gratitude to the old Prowler, due mostly to that car's use of lightweight bits and pieces and innovative construction techniques. If nothing else, the fact that the Prowler's frame is "the largest machined automotive part in history" is pretty cool. Read all the details here.

US Marshal's classic muscle car auction officially in the books

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

The US Marshal's so-called Blood Muscle Auction was completed earlier this month, with the prestigious nine-car field (two cars were added following Autoblog's initial story, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 and a rare, mid-restoration 1971 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda) finding new and hopefully law-abiding owners.
While we'd normally recap the stars of the show, in this particular auction, every car's sale was newsworthy. The full list of sale prices doesn't seem to be published, but according to The New York Times, the auction brought in a total of $2.5 million, or an average of about $277,000 per car.
The king of the contest seems to be a 1970 Plymouth Superbird (above, right), complete with a 426-cubic-inch Hemi V8, which brought home $575,000. The trio of Yenko Chevys, meanwhile, all easily cleared the six-figure mark, with the Yenko Camaro (above, far right) clearing $315,000, the Chevelle crossing the block for $237,500 and the supremely rare - one of just 37 - Yenko Nova (shown above, left) selling for an even $400,000.
