What a magnificent car. My neighbor collects Plymouth Classic and has a 1964 Plymouth Sport Fury in White with a Red Interior, and the 361 Cubic Inch V-8 engine. It belonged to a couple living in Covina, California and he purchased the car five years ago from their son. The car has an original 67,000 miles on the odometer, Factory Air Conditioning, Power Windows, and dealer-installed real Kelsey Hays Wire Wheels. The car is flawless and has the original sales documents showing the car sold by Haifner Chrysler/Plymouth, in Covina, CA., in February 1964. Lucky Guys, both of you.
I love the car that's got extra oomph. Especially one that's nice enough that you can sit in it for a while and drive across America. Thank you for sharing your car.
Top of the line Sport Fury (same as a Ford XL or Chevy Super Sport trim wise). What makes it special is a 426 “street wedge” w/ 365 horsepower and 470 ft lbs of torque. You could also get the Max Wedge for more money with either 415 or 425 horses but they usually came in the low line, lighter weight Savoy models. ‘64’s were good looking Plymouths.
Definitely my favourite mopar body style and I am a mopar guy. It is my dream to build a resto-mod Plymouth or Dodge B-body. Just flat-out the best looking mopars ever!!!
My first car, was a (used) '71, Plymouth Fury, sedan. With unfortunately, a 'fabric' (or whatever, they call them) roof. Good power, and with a 340 cid, 2 barrel carb, motor. I was 18, but had to get rid of it, at 19. One thing though; you iterated @2:51; 'Plymouth built, the fury model between 1959, and 1978". But, there were Fury's BEFORE 1959. They were put into production in '57, I believe. One example is 'Christine', which was a '58🤔, hmmm…………
The first Plymouth Fury was a 1956, limited production White and Gold only. My Grandmother had one with Power Windows and a four-way Power Seat, Gold Anodized Hubcaps, 303 Cubic inch V-8 Hemi engine, and a two-speed Powerflight pushbutton transmission. The reason I know this is when she passed in 1999, she left the car to my Dad. That said, the man talking about his 1964 Sport Fury, mentioned in 1959 the Sport Fury, not Fury became the top model of the Plymouth line of my all-time favorite classic cars.
I'm a little confused by this car in that my dad had one when I was a kid and I distinctly remember the pushbutton torquflite transmission. I thought 64 used the iron automatic with pushbutton shift.
As best as I can determine, Plymouths had push-button transmissions between 1956 and 1964. Being a "Sport Fury," I'm guessing it came with a floor shifter with console to better match the model's sportier purpose. I have found a suggestion that an automatic transmission with shifter was an option in 1964. The push-button approach was apparently scrapped after a management change , government rule-making, the fact it was cable operated and more complex, and didn't provide a sale advantage. Wish there was more info...
@@ride-ct-classiccars My dad's was a red 64 sport fury with HP383. I remember my sister and I getting in trouble for sitting on the edge of the back seat and the piping pulled loose. I remember being fascinated by the push button shift. Sometimes getting to push the button he told us on a trip. He sold it to a lady that bought it for her "just turning driving age daughters and they blew the engine in record time. He tried to buy it back but was unable. He bought a Hemi orange 70 Charger R/T with 440 4bbl. He always said that he felt like the fury would hold its own with the 440 charger.
After he left there was about forty feet of burnt rubber in front of the house.. My brother-in-law bought a sport fury. Exactly like that 1 exactly the same car, same color.
Blame me, not the owner. I routinely ask the owners to go slow because the primary purpose of each video is to show off the car. I usually get one or two clips showing what the car can do, but messed up in this case. Have gotten a couple of good burnouts over the years involving a Mustang and a GTO.

Agreed. A toast to Nate for sharing his Sport Fury!

- they were so much more then what they have become. New cars are just pitiful.

‘64’s were good looking Plymouths.
Thanks for the background.
gorgeous car
my first car I bought. Was a 64 Plymouth Fury w/a 361.white with a brownish interior. Push button auto loved that car.
Definitely my favourite mopar body style and I am a mopar guy. It is my dream to build a resto-mod Plymouth or Dodge B-body. Just flat-out the best looking mopars ever!!!
Oh. M. Gee. That's a sexy beast right there. Clean, understated, yet beautiful.
Not A Hot Rod?
Please, this is one of the true Factory Hot RODS ever made!
I'm not a Mopar guy but wow, a 426!!
It's fun sometimes to see understated models.
Really nice!
Always loved the blocky, mean looking mid 60s Mopars.
Maybe you need to get one!
Awesome! Are you going to boarder wars in New Milford oct 22nd?!
Hadn’t planned on it but I’ll put it on the calendar. Still pretty early in the year.

I stand corrected. Thanks. I did some digging. Plymouth began making a Fury in 1955 for the 1956 model year. I'll add an "editor's note" to the story.
Beautiful car !!!
It certainly is good looking!
Dynamite looking car. Gorgeous body lines. Talk about chromed out
The fact that it's understated makes it more appealing.

We bought a new '64 Polara 500 in identical colors, 383, AT, PS.
Only seen 4 total (three 383, one 318) in all these years.
Wish I had it back. 😐
Maybe you should do some hunting. It could still be out there.
i wish i had mine back
I'll bet you do!

I recently bought a 1964 sport fury. 383 4 speed. Very rough. $300 rough. Please advise.
What advice do you need Sir? Sounds like a great deal....
