Although this is an old episode, I enjoyed it. I am currently restoring my 64 Sport Fury convt, did 18 spline 4sp, trac pac rear end, interior, top, starting 400 based 512 stroker engine. I do have some body metal to replace from donor car, before roll car in for paint. Trying to keep outside stock looking as possible. Love your episodes, watching religeously since your first. Happy to see models other than cudas and challengers. Thanks.
In 1975, the year I graduated high school, I bought a 1964 Fury convertible from a seedy little car lot in Buffalo NY. It was a teal color with a black top and interior. Had the 318 “ Poly” block and push button transmission. It had 64k miles on it. I paid $700 for it and think I borrowed $600 from my Dad. He said I was crazy paying that much for an 11 yr old car. I drove that car for 2 1/2 years and put about 60k MORE miles on it. Ended up junking it after the transmission went. Good times in that car. STILL think about it.
In '65 my drafting class buddy Bill at Chadsey High in Detroit bought a dark blue '64 Sport Fury 2-door hardtop with a 426 wedge 4-spd from a guy who got drafted & had to sell it. It was spotless & had only 7K miles. I still vividly remember the hood ornament with the 426 numbers. What a beast for an eighteen-year-old kid. Bill bought the Plymouth for $1,700 (deal of the century). Instead of using the student parking lot he parked it on Martin Avenue across the street from our drafting room class so he could keep an eye on it. We got drafted in the Army in '66 & Bill's dad let him store the Sport Fury in his garage. When he got back from 'Nam in '68, he sold the '64 & bought a new '69 Bright metallic blue Hemi Roadrunner. Great times & memories.
I owned a 64 sport fury convertible back in the mid 70s. Bought it used for 375.00 off a mechanic who bought it off an old lady with a broken shifter cable. He repaired it and sold it to me. Oddly enough it had a fitted tonneau cover that covered the entire interior, with a zipper down the middle like a British sports car. Snapped onto the dash like a boat cover and used the same snaps for the boot in the rear. It was not added at a top shop, as it had a pentastar stamping with a part number beside it. I'd keep the top down all summer and use the tonneau cover instead it was great. Has any one else ever heard off such a thing from mopar? The dashboard fasteners were probably dealer added, they looked like a marine item.

I sported 63 Plymouth fury sport 413 super fast
I used to have a 1968 plymouth furry 3 with a 383ci engine in it, BUT like a dumbass kid I wrecked it. I still miss that old car.😢
Could you special order a 64' Fury with 426 Hemi race only ? Thanks !
@@mikepink1337 I believe that the largest engine avail for these models was the 426 wedge
Yeah I like you guys and all- but how about showing the CAR!!!
The Dodge Charger came out in 66.
