    I thought you might like a look at this rare and very original, 1968 Plymouth Sport Fury convertible. It's powered by the high performance 383 V8 4 BBL, backed by the four-speed manual trans. That engine and trans combo makes this car very rare. As you can see, it has been left almost entirely original. I always like finding a nice survivor like this. It really is my favorite kind of car to check out. I hope you find it interesting as well...thank you for watching!

    I own this car now...people should give C-bodies more respect, they are great cars. I just got done refreshing the engine with new Lunati cam/lifters, oil pump, gas pump, edelbrock 383 manifold, fluidampr and new rockers/rocker shafts.

      It runs great!! 52 year old engine was pristine inside...just needed a new timing chain and I had some scope creep then.... Getting ready to replace the original clutch and install overdrive in the A833 4-speed.

    Just the opposite, they are expanding pretty rapidly. They just opened at new dealership in Detroit. That makes four locations now : St Louis, Louisville, Chicago, and Detroit. They have more locations planned as well.

    I agree, I definitely prefer rims that are from the right era. Most of the time, I just prefer the stock rims that came on the car.

  • @RamblinAround
    @RamblinAround  11 років тому +1

    I think it's because you've seen a couple of videos that were shot at the Detroit showroom. That is the newest location and they are still building up the inventory.

    It's amazing how we can still remember cars form our childhood so well. My family had an old Ford LTD Station wagon when I was little and I can remember exactly what the seats felt like and what the car even smelled like.

    I learned to drive in a '68 Fury I ..4 door sedan. It was the Drivers ED car. I think it was Blue. Not sure. It was a plain Jane. No radio no nothing! It did have power steering.Wow that was in 1969.
    Nice car well preserved! Great presentation!

      330 HP 383's were painted turquoise...still a 4bbl with zero deck flat top pistons. 383 road runner engine was painted hemi orange and rated at 335 HP. Difference was the 440 375 camshaft and windage tray...other than that, exact same as the 330 engine.

      @@lukepokrajac1057 they offered the 383 HP hemi orange for Road runner, as well as the Fury 3 optional upgrade. According to my 68 fury 3 fender tag, it was a special order from the factory for the 383 HP hemi orange 4bbl, flat piston 335hp engine.

      @@davidhansen4647 I have the same engine in mine Dave...383 H-code engine. It was all original until I tore into it in 2020 to replace timing chain/gears. Chances are you have the standard 256 cam and not the road runner cam. Mine did not have a windage tray but I installed one when I dropped the pan. All big blocks came with 906 heads, 383, 440, 4bbl and 2bbl. I now have 440 source aluminum heads on mine...huge improvement.

    I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure I remember that car owned by a guy I went to high school with same set up even same color. And if I am right the quarters were changed from rust and it was repainted in 2000 I could be wrong but that set up with that color combo and the worn out seats

    The extra chrome ring all the way around the entire taillight area really makes that year’s taillights “pop”. Sans the chrome there looks more plain and boring. I had the sim 68 VIP model, like a New Yorker with a Plymouth badge. Same hot 383 4 bbl set up with a quicker 3:23 rear end. Second gear rubber at 40 mph in a four door hardtop sled. It sure liked gas, tho. Perhaps 12 mpg’s best. $500 at 8 years old, kept her for 15 years from 100,000 to 200,000 miles, no where neari worn out yet. Later got a 2 door 67 VIP with same hot 383 4 bbl. They were loads of fun and great memories, first youth, then just beyond middle age for the 67 VIP. Close my eyes and can still hear the classic Mopar unique step-down starter sound. Or just search for that on UA-cam !! “Everything is on UA-cam”.

    Very Nice,people dont understand these cars are not that heavy..They are only 200 pounds heavier for the convertible than a B body Mopar and 130 pounds more with a 2 door hardtop than a same year GTX !! These are Muscle Cars too ! Tire buring power and these are sleepers because people think they are slugs like late 70's and 1980's,1990's full size turds made by GM/Ford and lean burn low compression Moaprs of the later 70's and 80's !

    • @lukepokrajac1057
      @lukepokrajac1057 3 роки тому

      You are exactly right! I own this car and it is very fast, definitely a muscle car. H code 383 with 0 deck pistons...i.e. the pistons are completely up to the deck. I put on some closed chamber 440 source heads and it really runs nice now.

    This car has, for a Plymouth, the extremely rare Tilt-A-Scope steering wheel. It would adjust vertically up and down and by turning the lock in the center of the steering wheel from lock to unlock, one could telescope the wheel in and out about two inches. My '66 New Yorker has this feature and it had about a 0.1 percent installation rate. On Plymouths, the figure was probably even lower.
