Thanks for saving a fleet car. A few pursuit car details I've seen on Mopars are: One key fits everything (not the normal two Chrysler key combo), certified speedometer, unit number always painted in lowei driver door jamb for quick verification of correct fleet car, overhead dome reading light near rear view mirror, wire harness inside car running from front seat to trunk is in armored cable to prevent damage by person being transported, front stabilizer bar, reinforced roof, extra body welds, heavy duty alt. AC shut off switch for pursuit, fist idle pull knob on dash for traffic stops. These all seem to be the norm on my hwy pursuit c-bodies. Research yours and enjoy!
Serious collection of C bodies. Many of these gave their engines up as replacements for Hot Rods. I used to buy 383's and 440's for mega cheap back in the late 70's as missing shifts in my Road Runner would zing the third rod bearing toot sweet! This is a cool collection for this Mopar fan. Thanks for taking us along.
As a young Deputy I was delighted when our new fleet came in with Plymouths with 383's having 440 intakes. When you called for back-up you could hear this intakes lighting up for miles around.
Bowen's buggy. Lincoln Nebraska. Had a 88 astro done by them. My neighbor got bunch's of free metal from them cut out stuff for windows they put in. All that went into his 55-57 birds he had restored. Dig your channel. Thanks Jim.
I first drove a 1973 Plymouth police . They used heavy duty shocks , and upgraded the body for pursuit packages. Many had upgraded motors/ trans as well . All I remember is that car would move ..
Thanks, Mr. Badsocket! Your auction videos are the best! I watch every one of them. I know its a hell of a lot of work to produce these things but please, keep at it! Nobody else is covering farm auctions like you do! I do have a request, though [you knew there was a catch, didn't you?]. Tell us where you sell the cars you buy at auction! I have sent you e-mails asking about cars you said you were buying to re-sell, but you never responded. If you have a web site, tell us what it's called. If you have a farm field full of old cars with For Sale signs on them, tell us where to find it! You'll reach 43K potential new customers by doing so. What have you got to loose?
Had a 63 New Yorker, Moms car. Seprate a/c system in the trunk. Just dripping with options. 413 Hemi. I got to drive it. Thank God gas was .23 a gallon.
Really cool Mopar colleciton, hope they all went to good homes. Congratulations on your C-body purchase, that 68 Plymouth will be a really nice driver when back on the road. I've got a few Mopars myself.
So at 12:37, the Red Chrysler, something you didn't pick up on....and why that can needs to be saved......It's a special order car, that color wasn't a Chrysler Color, it was offered on the Imperial, but not on a Newport or New Yorker. Note the bumper filler panels are Silver/Argent colored, not body colored. That also indicates a non factory color, you'd see that on police car paint combinations. Had you checked out the fender tag in the engine bay, I'm 100% certain it would have said, "special order"
Congratulations on your fine acquisition! I love C-Body Mopars. My favorite cars in this auction were the '67 Newport coupe, the 2 '68 Furies Police cars, and the blue '68 NY (the one with the original paint that was missing its wheels)
I bought the 4 speed convertible. Funny you can see me making the phone bid in the background to my buddy Bob. A few midwest states ran two door posts then, I'd start there. Kansas and Nebraska both did I believe.
I had a 68 Coronet 500 convertible project car in the late 80's. When I really got into the body work, doing anything with with the rust repairs was way beyond my skill level, and life circumstances changed, so I sold it. I still miss that car 35 years later.
The '68 black New Yorker looks like it has an Imperial steering column. The Mopar police cars usually had white steering wheels. My father had a 1968 Ford Country Sedan police spec.(no a/c and had a 390 V8). He was a Fire Dept. Battalion Chief. It was the year that our local FD tried white vehicles, for better visibility. The 2nd new car my parents bought was a 1968 Plymouth Fury III 4dr. hardtop. It had the Commando 383 V8 and a split bench front seat.
My almost 50 years of experience at auctions has shown me that people almost ALWAYS over pay at an auction. Emotions take over and bidders lose their minds, kinda like at this auction.
Great deal on that 68 500 convertible ! Being a 72 400, that has a good chance of being a 230-1 cold weather block with thick webbing. I have one of those blocks.
Thank again for another incredible auction! I think most stuff went high, but hard to tell on camera. Looking forward to seeing more on your 2 dr police car.
It was big plymoth fury 3s that were cop cars when I was a teen.....we could spot them at night because the front lights were unique looking........some had the 440 in them.....I only ever rode in the back.ha ha...I loved those cars..........probably 1970 to 72.
I subbed just to see what you do with this one. My favorite Plymouth is the 1966 Plymouth Fury III. My uncle had one; just the most beautiful car ever to come out of Detroit in those years. Exquisite.
The 1966 Fury III four door hardtop will always have a special place in my heart. Our family car when I was five years old was a white one with red interior. My dad would pop the rear seat cushions out to haul antiques in the back
2-door sedan police cars were fairly common years ago. The 2-door sedan was the cheapest car offered, and Gov't vehicles were purchased by low bid. A friend had a 1964 Plymouth 2-door sedan former police car equipped with a 383 automatic back in the good old days.
Mr. B. Here ! Very very nice vehicle ! 👍👍 Had 2005 Magnum RT fully loaded ! Miss my Hemi engine, loved that engine. Mr. G., I have been toll sometimes a person collects what makes them happy ! 🤔🤔🤔 I hope someone got a few vehicle to put back on the road ! 🤔🤔🤔 Nice buy ! 👍👍👍
48:15 - That '67 Plymouth Fury station wagon was a steal for $500. Station wagons are hot. And a Fury? That has the potential to be a serious hot rod. :)
It's been a long time coming for sure! Not many collections like this... however, the next week after, Vanderbrink sold the Soneff & sons collection in Denver. I went to one closer to home though
In my 34 Tudor Barn Fi d video we had to move a 68 AMC Rebel SST OR SSX (forget which) to get the 34. Frame was so rotted the car looked like a banana when we got it out. I often think of pulling parts off it...
I worked for a dealership back in the 60's . A teacher bought a gold colored buick he had two cars pull out in front of him in a week. He brought the car back and had them paint it school bus yellow. No problem seeing that car after that.
I still have a black two-door 67 Fury 3 bench seat Factory 4 speed 383 4 Barrel car that my aunt bought brand new and still has the card with her name on it.I think it has the sport roof with red interior she gave it to me when I was in high school and I can remember loading up on my friends and driving 2 hours to concerts Kiss, Black Sabbath, Uriah Heep and Bob Seger. it would only run on Ethel and I put some regular gas in it and it was knocking and banging and ended up breaking the camshaft. I have only seen two or three four speeds like the one in the auction but I have never seen another bench seat 4 Speed. I almost sold the four-speed transmission for $500 a few years ago to somebody wanting to put it in a road runner, glad I didn't. I hope to restore someday but I just like looking at it. I have did a lot of research but can't find out how many were built that way, best I could come up with was .02% were standard shift???
The 2 door sedan with Law Enforcement history was probably the rarest car there. Low production. Louisiana State Police used the Plymouth Fury 4-door sedans from 68 through the 70s. I stopped and accepted written, personalized invitations from them quite often.
I had a 68 Coronet 500 convertible in medium dark turquoise metallic. Wish I had it now. If you watch the movie "The Seven Ups" , there's a 67 -8 Fury two door cop car in the chase scene. One of the best chase scenes in the movies ever!
While you were speaking of the 1974 - '78 New Yorker, .....It would have been Imperial in those first 2 years, and from '76 to '78 the New Yorker looked just like the Imperial which it replaced.
Hi. i'm not sure you know that the Aston Martin DB range was David Brown's initials after he bought the company, not quite so glamorous as people may think.
Ir you've ever watched the t.v. show Highway Patrol , in the late 50's with Brodrick Crawford , those were all 2 door squads , other than those I've never seen one !
First Hot Rod ever Road in was a Belvedere my sister's boyfriend I was 10 years old 66 Belvedere 4 speed bucket seats we all get it and go to the drag strip giving his slicks out of the trunk open up his headers outrun cars as being pulled in there on a trailer
If you look closely at the gearshift from the 68 Fury convertible, it looks like it came out of a Mitsubishi Eclipse or similar Mitsubishi product. That's different. I dont even think Chrysler and Mitsubishi were teaming up then. That didn't occur until the early 70s, I believe. I also noticed that front grille of the New Yorker looks similar to those on the mid 70s Chrysler Fury and Satellite lines, maybe even Volare. Coinicidental?? I'm guessing Chrysler went through the parts bin for the latter models??
Not that it really matters, but how cool would it be to know when and what he paid.. I’m in my sixties , so that would be cool ! These cars are so awesome, I had a 67 gal xl convert numbers matching , I miss the ole Gal ..
I thought the convertible 4 speed went cheap 3800.,I think, I have a 63 fury convertible 318,pushbutton auto. running when I parked it 3500.will buy it, cash "
I've been searching for a 68 Coronet 500. Frustrating that there aren't actions like this in my area that I hear about. I don't have the means to pay a flipper markup and restore the car too.
Love that black Belvedere. Beautiful
my 73'road runner came from a corn field,I was 19,it's in my garage! now I'm 56, 400,4 spd, pwr windows. Plymouth❣️

I like your choice.
Steve Maganate at Junkyard Crawl has a 64 ish Polara Police car from a Texas Auction.... its got alot of special features..
I don’t know much about the history of the squad cars but I’d say you got yourself a gem there !
MR. GOOD WRENCH! IT WAS VERY RARE TO SEE SO MANY OLD CONVERTIBLE CAR ALL IN ONE PLACE! GREAT 😃👍 VIDEO!

I’m at work right now I’ll watch that when I get home looks like another good one
I absolutely love all your videos man I watch the auctions and everything
Thanks MR Good Pliers glad that little boy didnt get in front of that derby car
Shows there are still great Mopar deals around. Thanks for a great video

That's probably why it went for strong money as a non-runner with a moused-up interior. Very cool car.
Thanks Tim, really appreciate you giving some back story on the owner of the cars. The police car you got is pretty cool!
good save Tim Mate

Great story. That loss casts a long shadow eh bro?
Those cars are too big to drive

Alot of beautiful cars
I’ve never seen a police car in quite that configuration, has to be unicorn rare. The research will turn up interesting stuff. Great video as always
My almost 50 years of experience at auctions has shown me that people almost ALWAYS over pay at an auction. Emotions take over and bidders lose their minds, kinda like at this auction.
Ya right alot of those went extremely cheap
@@MidnightPolaris800 Yeah ok, you keep believing that. I'll invite you to my next auction.
@@MidnightPolaris800 Those were all crazy high prices for what they were.
No expert on car prices, but I learned with auctions you either walk away or you go broke.
@@alanh1406 95% of the time.
Great deal on that 68 500 convertible ! Being a 72 400, that has a good chance of being a 230-1 cold weather block with thick webbing. I have one of those blocks.
Great buy! Looking forward to seeing more of it!
Thank again for another incredible auction! I think most stuff went high, but hard to tell on camera. Looking forward to seeing more on your 2 dr police car.
It was sold to a collector in Wisconsin who has a rebuilt 1968 engine ready to go for it
You got a rare 2dr police car! would be a good car to get running and driving again! good price too!
The four speed car and the blue 66 looks real good with those magnum 500 wheels.
Raised white letter tires and sporty rims on a 4-door barge. Definitely the Midwest look.
It was big plymoth fury 3s that were cop cars when I was a teen.....we could spot them at night because the front lights were unique looking........some had the 440 in them.....I only ever rode in the back.ha ha...I loved those cars..........probably 1970 to 72.
I liked that ford wagon.
You mean the 1968 Galaxie!
Alot of the 2,500 or less Mopar's usually go to the derby no doubt, happens here in east tn from time to time even in this day...
Nice pick for yourself, I had the hots for the 4 speed drop top fury, a 4 speed full size, way kool.Thanks for the vid.

@@mr.goodpliers6988 Sweet. My uncle had a two door, such a sexy car.
Good job again , see ya at the rust ranch !! 👍
You are correct about the New Yorkers and the Olds 88 they are identical 👀🤔🏁🇺🇸
Amazing collection, 77 Gran Fury ex-detective 2 door is my daily driver. 3 fender tags.
Nice car tim …glad you got it…
You know what they say, “Every time an auctioneer sells a Superbird kit, a Satellite gets its wings”.
67 furt wagon for 500 bucks! Unbelievable! I can't find a deal like that nowhere! I would fix it up a daily it and cherish it!
The Chrysler cars there were really cool. Love the police car you got.
that turbo van would be really rare if a manual. I've owned one. never saw another.
2-door sedan police cars were fairly common years ago. The 2-door sedan was the cheapest car offered, and Gov't vehicles were purchased by low bid. A friend had a 1964 Plymouth 2-door sedan former police car equipped with a 383 automatic back in the good old days.

When you plant 'Lemon Trees' you git a sour investment.
48:15 - That '67 Plymouth Fury station wagon was a steal for $500. Station wagons are hot. And a Fury? That has the potential to be a serious hot rod. :)
It sold for more than the 1968 Galaxie station wagon, although it may have been more complete.
That was a steal… deluxe steering wheel and clutch pedals.
Finally a video about Mopar
It's been a long time coming for sure! Not many collections like this... however, the next week after, Vanderbrink sold the Soneff & sons collection in Denver. I went to one closer to home though
I LOLed when he said set the parking brick. 😂

Good Collection Buddy.
Cool score on the 2dr post Police car, kinda surprised you didn't snag the 4dr as cheap as it went.
Looking forward to the walk around.
The blue new Yorker was his first car & the black 1 was his funeral car. He used it for funerals he attended,,he had some cool rides
I was amazed at the wide difference in selling prices for the two, considering they were identical models/bodies.
The black 68 New Yorker was my favorite here.
The black New Yorker did appear to be in better condition than the blue one.
That top loader ford 4 speed was smoking deal
I worked for a dealership back in the 60's . A teacher bought a gold colored buick he had two cars pull out in front of him in a week. He brought the car back and had them paint it school bus yellow. No problem seeing that car after that.
They Over Paid here.. A Good Rain & A Strong Wind For A Couple Hours these old Beater’s Will Blow Away.😄🤣😄
Man this is my first comment but this is a really cool auction, love the 2 cornet vert's, would love either one, great job Dog 👍👍👍👍👍✅✅✅✅✅

Seems i remember some 65 patrol cars that were 2 door Fords.
Slow talkers are generally above average IQ by a large margin.
I had a 68 Coronet 500 convertible in medium dark turquoise metallic. Wish I had it now. If you watch the movie "The Seven Ups" , there's a 67 -8 Fury two door cop car in the chase scene. One of the best chase scenes in the movies ever!
Narration is dynamic and engaging!

Hi. i'm not sure you know that the Aston Martin DB range was David Brown's initials after he bought the company, not quite so glamorous as people may think.
68 New Yorker was the first car I ever drove. I was 4 and popped it into nuetral drove out of my parents driveway and into the neighbors front yard.
Awesome video I loved it Thank you for the video
First car exspetuonal with ac p brakes disk brakes very great big money$$😊
It's interesting ... both the Fury 1's had factory AC .... as well as most of the convertibles.
One of approx 1850 1968 2-door PK21 pursuit vehicles produced.
Bout 10k of the 4-doors built.
Would have loved to known this guy that had this collection.
I myself have 3 1968 Fury 3 convertibles!
Cool guy. burnt tires everywhere he went.
Mark Fenyo did the pinstriping on boner's highschool car. I noticed in the video that it has survived all these years. He loved that car.
Great choice!
Ford's data card was placed into the front sleeve of owner's manual along with the selling dealership business card.
How much did those green tool boxes sell for?
Good Choice.
Good narrating little rough on the restoration ones.
Ir you've ever watched the t.v. show Highway Patrol , in the late 50's with Brodrick Crawford , those were all 2 door squads , other than those I've never seen one !
I still watch that show at times ,it comes on at 4:00 am Mon -Fri when I am up that early in morning ,love that old show
First Hot Rod ever Road in was a Belvedere my sister's boyfriend I was 10 years old 66 Belvedere 4 speed bucket seats we all get it and go to the drag strip giving his slicks out of the trunk open up his headers outrun cars as being pulled in there on a trailer
The car you bought was MOST LIKLEY a Fire Chief's Car. In the 1960s there were some fire deptments which painted their trucks that origanal collor!
Will the restoration of the car you purchased be on your other channel, collectrestoredrive?
If you look closely at the gearshift from the 68 Fury convertible, it looks like it came out of a Mitsubishi Eclipse or similar Mitsubishi product. That's different. I dont even think Chrysler and Mitsubishi were teaming up then. That didn't occur until the early 70s, I believe. I also noticed that front grille of the New Yorker looks similar to those on the mid 70s Chrysler Fury and Satellite lines, maybe even Volare. Coinicidental?? I'm guessing Chrysler went through the parts bin for the latter models??
Their first joint venture would have been the Colt starting in 1971.
Very cool find mr pliers 😅😊
You are correct. The 68 Fury is a nightmare and it didn't have to be that way.
Good find!
Not that it really matters, but how cool would it be to know when and what he paid..
I’m in my sixties , so that would be cool ! These cars are so awesome, I had a 67 gal xl convert numbers matching , I miss the ole Gal ..
I thought the convertible 4 speed went cheap 3800.,I think, I have a 63 fury convertible 318,pushbutton auto. running when I parked it 3500.will buy it, cash "
Well that is cool
The most famous Plymouth Fury police car was the one Buford Pusser owned (Walking Tall) and his wife were ambushed in
I've been searching for a 68 Coronet 500. Frustrating that there aren't actions like this in my area that I hear about. I don't have the means to pay a flipper markup and restore the car too.
37K is a very respectable bid. Props to the old school auction buyers.
lol Love the name "Mr. GoodPliers" lol
My mouth dropped at what the 58 Plymouth sold for when the hammer dropped.
IKR!!! And that 70 belvedere convertible…. Which I’d leave survivor.
Although the '70 Coronet was like a new car.
When the auctioneer said the top goes down I thought the price goes up
or the panties come off!
Works both ways!
