I owned a 68 Plymouth Fury III fastback coupe back in 1975. Ita had the 318 smallblock engine and a 3spd automatic transmission on the column. It had power steering and brakes plus air conditioning. Drove it for 3 years and was a nice Cruiser.😎
What a Fury video! I love the '67/'68 model year. Very smooth car. A sporty full-size with a muscle car soul. Thanks for sharing. I proudly add it to my playlist.
My brother inlaw bought a 1968 sport fury convertible, painted midnite blue with a liter blue pinstriping it had the 383 v8 automatic trans. Just a BEAUTIFUL car& it was very fast, for as heavey as it was .
A friend of mine had 68 Fury four door with the Commando 383 V8 4bbl. No radio but it had factory a/c that would keep it very cold inside. Awesome car 😎
To the backdrop of Sonny & Cher's, "The Beat Goes On." My mom owned a '68 Fury III and the car was a boat. Loved it, and wish I had it back. I would have restored it to it's glory.
I've been daily driving my '68 Fury VIP and loving every mile of it. My first car was a '67 Sport Fury, both of them fast tops. As much as I love my '68, the only change I might have made to it was to keep the '67 grille and headlights. Other than that, for me it's the perfect car.

In 1981 I was living in S. California in El Cajon, working for my brother in law at the time. He let me use one of the cars in the fleet. A very decent but not show quality, 68 Fury III Convertible, in white with white top and green interior with bucket seats and full length console. The best part was the 383 4 brl, with HD 727 Torqflite, feeding a quick 3:55 posi.
Beautiful, but I still believe that the 1967 Plymouth Fury and VIP were a little better looking than the 1968 models... although the two years were similar.
A buddy of mine had a 1968 Sport Fury convertible in high school. (1976 ) One day , with the top down , guy in front pass. seat hangs a "moon " over the side , (in front of high school at lunchtime) door comes open , he has one hand on door the other trying to grasp a hold on the vinyl seat !! I'm in the back seat , PANIC ,and ONE HANDED pulled him back in the car ! I couldn't have done it without being scared for my buddy !
@@bryguy8203 Thanks , I think it was a Thursday , but my buddy didn't come back to school til Monday morning . I tried to pick him up with one hand and couldn't do it , amazing what you can do when your trying to help a buddy . ( he phoned me a few years ago , to tell me he had been diagnosed with early dementia , and wanted to say hello to all his friends , before he couldn't remember them . )
@0:59, "...amidships..." Not too far from the truth, considering the overall size of the car. What a great time for American cars, and this was a beautiful example.
WOW 🤩 I’m actually restoring a 1967 Plymouth Sport Fury with the Optional 440/375 HP Super Commando V8. I’m looking for NOS Sport Fury Emblems if anyone has them??? Thank You 😊 for the Help! 💥💥💥
A very straight lined design still as opposed to Ford & Chevrolets more flowing full-size designs for 1968. I'd prefer those (especially the Chevy) and think 1969s fuselage-furys were also better looking than these.
My brother had s 67 fury. Cheapest car I've ever seen. 67 fury sedan 4 door, manual drum brakes. Manual steering, rubber floor mat, radio delete, 3 speed trans. I think the only option it had was a heater
I learned to drive in a 1967 Fury. Thanks for bringing back all those great memories. The 68 was a minor refresh of the 67. Great cars.
So did I my parents had one. Then took drivers education in a brand new 1972 Fury those cars were awesome.
1968 was a very good Plymouth year!
Yes! Another MyMopar drop!
Cool, I was 5 years old then and already loved cars. My parents drove a Pontiac and a Buick but I loved the look of Chrysler cars.
A beautiful year for Furys. One of my favorites.

I did too! Got mine up to 110 mph on Queens Highway 401.

When a car was a car! My father had a 1967 fury 4 door.

My first car and I still think it was the handsomest of all the years.
Super cool!

Keep er running. Sounds pretty cool!
@@aaronwilliams6989 Thanks!
My first car at 18 in 1973 was a 1967 Fury III. It was a bargain at $600. I would love to have a Sport Fury convertible.
This brings back so many memories.

My '68 Fury VIP has a tag on the passenger door frame that says Made in Canada. We used to have a '67 Fury II with the same tag.
The 68's are pretty but I heard there's a brand new body style for 69 so I might wait a year
😂
1969 was the first of the fuselage generation!
Unfounded rumors!
Come on just buy the ‘68 will you? Help out the economy.
My first car was a '68 Sport Fury. It was also the first car I did over 120MPH in. A very comfortable car to drive fast. Sadly, the car was stolen.
Mother in-law has a 1970 fury iii convertible with the 383 magnum 4 bbl
What a great mother in law , be good to her , and pay her an honest price for the car !!
Enjoyed........... 🙂👍👍

Yes I liked the styling of the 67 more but still the 68 wasn’t bad
These were gorgeous and so far ahead of GM and Ford...
I agree!
Nice video and thumbs up.

I think I will take my Plymouth Custom Suburban with the 383 2 barrel, manual transmission and rear washer/wiper 😁

Imma wait for the 71 Sport Fury GT
Now if you had the wagon it would be marketed as a camper

That’s going to be a nice car when you are done with it 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Beautiful car love it 😀
I will take one
This car is way better than a Chevy !
Plymouth looks good than Chevy or Ford . It has new features !
IMO, '68 Galaxie and LTD styling is far superior.
Can I buy a new one tomorrow.

I like the name ,Fury. It means you're Pissed. Right?

Looks great and drives even better!
