1969 Plymouth Sport Fury Original Paint Survivor! Chrysler Plymouth Division College Queen!

- We are proud to share the story of this amazing 1969 Plymouth Sport Fury Convertible! The owner Judy won this car in 1969 by winning the Chrysler Plymouth Division College Queen of the year competition and could choose any car from Chrysler Plymouth! Think she chose well with this Sport Fury (I might have taken the Road Runner). The car is a survivor with mostly original paint, original top and interior. The car was unfortunately stolen from Judy's house a couple of months ago but good news is she got it back and it wasn't hurt that bad. We are getting in the shop to fix a couple of issues with it. Super fun car to drive and we are happy to share it with all of you.

My grandfather gave my Mother an opportunity to choose any car in 1973 off a used car lot. She chose a 1969 roadrunner 383 4 speed Sunfire yellow with 11,628 miles.
Wise woman!
Seeing that car brings back a memory. It was around November of 1969 and I was out with my dad shopping for a new car. We were in a Plymouth dealership and in the showroom they had several '69 models they were trying to clear out. One of them was a 69 Sport Fury convertible in B5 blue with a white interior. It was pretty well optioned the same way as the one shown. My dad wanted a convertible and would probably have bought it except it was too long and wouldn't fit in our garage. It just so happened there was a 69 Sport Satellite convertible in the showroom. It was Bronze with a tan interior, bucket seats & console. Eventually the car became mine and I fully restored it as salt had done its damage. Being Chrysler Crazy I went through different powerplants and transmissions on it. I restored quite a few different Plymouth and Dodge muscle cars through the years but always kept my dad's car. He appreciated that I had kept and restored it and it put a smile on my face to see how happy it made him. He passed away in 97' and I hung on to it until 2004. People would say why did you sell it and I'd tell them it wasn't the same without my dad being around to enjoy it. It's hard for them to understand but it just wasn't the same. I haven't seen it since but it went to a good home where it could bring some joy to others and help them create memories. RIP Dad.
That's a great story thanks for sharing.
I love the feel of driving those cars like floating on clouds
Love mid 60s to early 70s full-size American cars. Not many things in life bring a smile like rolling down the interstate @ 80,cruise set, and Zepplin blaring in a beautiful land yacht.
I have a 69 Fury III too, it runs fine but they sure hit you for parts now days. I bought a couple heater valves this year (one for a spare) and they were over $150 each! I remember paying under $40 dollars for those in the past. Fun to see someone else that appreciates these cars (and is knowledgeable about them!). I recall mine was about $3500 new at Prince Chrysler Plymouth. they’re long gone. It’s always garaged and maintained, it’s going to be a lifetime car for me. It keeps up with traffic and tha air conditioning is super cold!
Of course, Thanks for showing this giant car.
She’s a beauty.
Nice story and nicer car, Tom! This one takes me back: my Dad went out for a haircut one Saturday in March ‘69 and came home with a new ‘69 Polara 2 door - Y3 cream, black vinyl roof and interior - Mom and I called it the Andrea Doria. Learned to drive on that car and I can tell you that a 383 2bbl can take a ‘69 Bonneville with a 455!
One of my Favorite Plymouths! Remember these everywhere. Always thought they looked great!
Cool story. Cool car. Having a choice being a 60 year old man I guess I'd take a loaded GTX. If I were college age it would likely be an A12 road runner.
Just look what Plymouth's up to now!! Judy made a great choice in 1969 and this story gave me a smile as wide as this Fury's grille. 😁😁😁😁 Talk about an authentic Washington experience, did anyone else notice the dealer was wearing a rain coat as he handed over the keys to this new convertible?😂😂
Absolutely stunning survivor classic. Love seeing these!
What a great story, Tom. Love Judy's Sport Fury.
Will watch later I love C bodies! 383 even the 2 barrel you are 100% correct,effortless power,not a dog either and not a pig on gas...I swear they are better than 318's on gas.
They have more torque, so that would make sense, so you don't have to lean into the gas as much
My mother bought a 69 Fury 3 with a 383. It was a yellow 2 door hardtop with white interior and a white vinyl top. I sure wish I had that car today.
My first car was a 69 Fury III, 2 dr hardtop, 318 auto, and friend of mine has a 69 Sport Fury convert very similar to this one, 383 2bbl, floor shift auto. They are awesome cruisers!
Reminds me of a 300 Hurst our high school instructor had back 1980. He passed away years later and don't know where the car ended up. Who was to know these cars were gonna go up in crazy value.
Thanks Tom. Great car and great story. I love the C-bodies!
My first car when I was 15, was a 69 fury III convertible.383-2brl. 292 diff gears. Ice blue, white top. Would have been nice to have A31 package.
(3.91 gears with sure grip and better springs)
Still a fantastic car. Top end speeds we're crazy. 120-130 id guess. The speedo started to get a shaky needle above 85. Gas was . 56¢ a gallon. I remember filling up from about empty for $14 dollars. Thanks for showing us this beauty
Would love to buy this one! Had a 71 sport suburban wagon back in the day 383
Very nice. I'm the proud owner of 74 Fury II, 2 dr HT, Y2 Sunfire yellow with a 2 bbl 400. Originally my fathers car. It currently has 40,000 miles.
Had a 74 gran coupe with the 400 2 bbl. I outran 3 guys in a 70's olds 98 late one night. It could hold it's own. Bastard trying to keep the light beige seats clean though.
Awesome it's still in the family.
Yay! A C-body fan. I'm second owner to my great aunt's 68' Newport Custom. Surprisingly, it's in better shape than the rest of our cars, LOL.
This is one nice ride. 👍
Awesome you could keep it.
@@rocketrestoyayy...C bodies!!!
Now get some C forwards on the
Channel!!!
Might I suggest the 60 dart variety... matadors are super rare and there's a phoenix 2dr for sale in Canada
My dad bought a Plymouth Fury, dk green color, it was early 70’s, I think it might of been a’71 and us kids called it the Green Monster. It was pretty cool to ride in! Love the look of these cars!
Iv owned 4 Dodge Phoenix 2 /66 with the poly 318 both white one red trim one blue trim . Also 2 383 pilliares Dodge Phoenix One blue one white both 383 / 2 barrel . MOPAR for life 👍🏻🇦🇺.
My father had a 69 Sport Fury, dark blue with a white vinyl top and interior, 383-4BBL and A/C. It would run 140 mph according to a friendly LE who clocked him. Great story and a true survivor. I wonder what the A/C option cost back then. That location is def a Mopar fan.
Hey Tom, glad to hear from a fellow C body fan 👍. Currently have a 65 New Yorker four door hardtop. Would like to add a 300 L someday, if possible,getting harder to find clean examples. Thanks for the post.
That's a cool story... I very often find myself wondering about the back stories of many of the older cars I come across. That's also one of the most interesting thing about car shows. You can at the very least get the latest chapter in the cars history.
What a beauty! The 1968 build date accounts for the lack of headrests. They were DOT mandated from 1/1/1969.
That car reminds me of my mother, only car we had for years and years, she was a short women pull the seat up and away we went me and my brothers,
Thanks iam starting to cry.
Dope ride Judy! So glad you got your car back!!
Enjoyed the video I'm hopeful that you will be putting up a video of the car when you have it all done before you give it back
What a beauty, good thing crooks do not help themselves at all. Thank goodness for small things. Peace
Just glad she got it back.
Glad she got it back in good condition.
Beautiful car, they can run forever. We didn't get many in Australia.
Absolutely gorgeous!
I have a 69 Dodge Dart Custon two door hardtop in the same colour and it is a really great shade of yellow.
Such a cool story..well minus the theft. Keep up the great content Tom!
Just thankful they got the car back.
That sir is a beautiful car and survivor with a story to tell and you nailed it. I love 69 and 70 furys. Hardtop sport furys just do it for me. They float down the road and yet can haul the mail too. My 70 sport fury still sits here with no one to love it. Told my son It may become furyosa and put teeth in the missing grill and make it a field car lol. Not the fate I wanted for a numbers matching car. But better than a demo car. Good work Tom ❤
C Bodies are awesome: would love to see it after it's finished being worked on and cleaned up.
The beauty queen made a good choice. Not everything in 1969 was about muscle cars. I remember my 6th grade teacher Mr. Mead....the cool teacher in school, bought a new 1970 Dodge Monaco convertible, then he traded it in on a 72 Dodge Challenger convertible.
Very nice survivor for sure. Thanks for the story and the video!
My first car was a 69 Fury III. Loved that car, 318, added 4 barrel carb.
Good taste, man. Cool car.
Just wish it was a hard top!!! Might as well bump it up with a 4 barrel, give it it a little more ump! Cool story!
My family owned a '67 Newport Sedan with the 383 2bbl. Plenty of power - ran well - no 8 track but it had the factory cruise control. Very good and memorable car. 'Fuselage' cars are my favorites too. This Sport Fury Convertible is gorgeous.
Survivor cars are awesome!
Very Cool Car, and Very cool Story. I'm not a C-Body kinda guy, but this one checks all the boxes for me Too !
It’s just the whole package, great story, fantastic original condition, drives great, good colors, everything!
G'day Tom,
Great story I hope those bastards that hurt Judy's baby get whats coming to them.
For me it would be a
GTX Convertible
Centre Console
440
4 speed
Dual Mirrors
Limited Slip Diff
8 Track
Tacho
Cheers
Louis Kats 👍
My dream car is two furys a 64 4spd the other is a 72 hidden headlights, console and in B5 or I don't remember the paint code for bright red or the light metallic blue.
Glad Judy got her fury back with barely any damage.
C bodies rule!!!!!!!!!
Bring it to the spring fling!!!
It's a sharp car! Didn't see many rag tops where I lived. The body style had me searching the front fenders for the signal indicators :-)
Tom I had three 68 Fury's and I think the clean styling of that year was the best. I had a 71 and it was huge but not as nice as the 68.
I would have picked a fully decked out as much as possible Boogie Van. Room for stuff and Fun!!!
Gorgeous car.
Loved my 69 fury. Regret selling it in 1986.
I probably would have gone Barracuda, but you can't go wrong with a Roadrunner either!
340 cuda is a great car. Ooo, maybe a mod top?
Beautiful car!!
This yeller droptop looks great. Love C bodies...fuselage gen cars look good...great performers...driven plenty...BUT...i would have picked the barracuda with the Cuda package
Thats a beautiful car. Back in the '80's we sacrificed a '69 Fury for parts on my '57 D100. It was a high mileage, bare bones car. Cut off the frame around the front axle center line. The '69 Fury front clip slid over the outside '57 frame. Welded in the torsion bar cross member. Relocated the spring perches on the 8 3/4 axle. We didn't expect that the Fury had significant engine set back, compared to the straight axle and V8. Cut out 3/4's of the firewall. Used most of the Fury wiring harness. 40 years later, realize a Dakota chassis would be a better swap because of track width. Currently going back through the truck. 4 wheel drum brakes are more than adequate. Not fond of the over powered steering, and brakes.
A friend in highschool had a '68 Sport Fury, same yellow with matching yellow bucket seats.
If i could pick any car in the C-P lineup, either a GTX or a 300 convertible.
I’ve had four MoPars that were this shade of yellow. In 67 it was indeed called Daffodil yellow at Chrysler division.
The cars I’ve had were (in order) a 1972 Plymouth Scamp that had been repainted avocado green. The paint was peeling in areas so it was visible. The next one was a 1967 Chrysler Newport. Next was a 1969 Dodge Super Bee, and finally a 1968 Plymouth Fury III
Had I won the contest I’d have picked the Roadrunner (I was eight years old at the time) if I were to win the contest knowing what I know now I’d still pick a Roadrunner.
Definitely think Mopar when I see this color.
Beautiful car right there.
My second car was a 1969 Plymouth Fury 3 two door hard top- the same yellow with black interior & a 318 2 bbl. I owned it 1973-75 when it was rear ended while parked on the street by a Buick Electra at around 2 AM & totaled.
Wow, a '69 Sport Fury Droptop, Helluva nice car, I'm very partial to '69-'73 C-bodies, I mentioned B4, I have a '72 Fury III unmarked Police Pursuit Car Clone!!! Hopefully I'll find a '69 or '70 C-body Droptop like your '69 Sport Fury!!! Mopar Nate, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Those year c bodies are my favorite too!
I’m into the 1969-73 and 1974-78 Chrysler C bodies which I named them colossal bodies and I would customize it to my liking
I love C Body Chrysler cars my last one was a 1968 Imperial Crown Coupe. Sold it in1990 . I hope get a C Body car when I Retire.
I. Used. To. Own. It. Was. Very. Good. On. Gas. I'm. From. Edmonton. Canada
Awesome Car! I like "C" bodies also.
Bulk of my collection is C bodies.
I would have chose a Roadrunner and did buy one in 73 because the chances of me winning a beauty contest were not good
Definitely a Hemi RR, otherwise a great story, glad she got it back!
Nice car. Given a choice, I would have picked a low optioned road runner or a small block barracuda. I appreciate the C bodies, but I personally like a smaller car.
A Hemi Roadrunner would've been my choice.
I had a 1969 Newport. With a 383.. burgundy black interior
Those 69’s are great cars.
I would put a 1970 hidden headlight grill in it.
I love it
69 Sport Fury convertible, not many built, less around today , nice 😊
I always like the Sport Fury, but I also liked the Sport Satellite. It's a toss up for me, but I would also have wanted a convertible.
Think Road Runenr convertible for me! 383 4 speed with air grabber.
I had the dodge polara same year that was the same basic car with the 383 magnum engine
Had a green one like that
PS I would've picked a GTX convertible, but also there's the Fury III GT which I think was available in 69. If not, back to at least a Road Runner convertible with a 440. Today, I'd pick an Imperial 2 door loaded with options....
Gtx convertible would have been good.
Oops forgot to mention the 64 is a B body though.
BTW, When are you going to do a video on those 68's that are in the yard.
I'll take a 1970 Plymouth Fury GT two-door coupe
I would have picked a Roadrunner. It's my favorite musclecar. I currently own a '69 Roadrunner convertible. By the way, do you have the window mechanism and chrome edging for the rear passenger quarter window, or know where i can get one?
Judy-queen
*332 on a 69 Sport fury? Not from the factory, they offered for the Fury 5th Gen. line (1969-1973) Fury l, ll, lll, Sport and VIP the 225, 318, 260, 383, 400 and 440.*
Sorry not sure where you got the 332, this is a 383 car.
Beautiful C Body 🥰🥰🥰
neeeed to buyyyy!
Might be for sale soon.
Would you have wheel lip mouldings for a 67 Polara?
Nice old survivor. What is a 2.71/2.76 axle ratio? Which is it? I've owned several 2.71 axles in C,D,P cars over the years, but have never seen this nomenclature before.
Not sure why they used that, believe it was a 2.76 that’s what I’ve seen at least.
Good question. I don't know why two ratios are given. Either ratio is great for the highway!
One thing I never liked, this is a 69 vehicle and after December of 68 they were supposed to have headrests - and the Chrysler headrests are cool looking compared to the other makes imo, but BUT I'll hazard the guess, most 69s seem to not have them. Every 69 GM and Ford had them whether required or not. Seems like Chrysler took the cheap way out and it looks it. I wouldn't want this car purely because it doesn't have headrests crazy as it sounds. Edit: great story though!
I'd have selected the A12 Road Runner!
That’s a good one but don’t think an A12 road runner would have been good at UW in 1969.
Does it have a twin system 🤔
More than likely a 383 '69 barracuda if I won ,hardtop buckets and a 4 speed.
I would have chose a Super Bee or a Road Runner
Had to be a Plymouth or a Chrysler, Road Rummer it is!
I had a 69 Fury Iii 2 door hardtop red with black interior, 318 cid. That car was builttproof.
1969 Plymouth Barracuda Formula S Convertible :) (since you asked)
We're on ssi no way to get to a store we need help from someone thank God 🙏
Roadrunner
I would have gone for a Hemi Cuda or a loaded Imperial.
No Hemi Cudas in '69
Imagine if she picked a Hemi Road Runner.
🤯
