Seeing those '73 Newport hardtop coupes made me think of my beloved--and long-missed--'72... only mine had Royalé Red paint, a black vinyl top, and standard wheel covers. Was motivated by the base-trim 400-ci. 2-bbl. V-8 w/2.76-FDR (Non Sure-Grip) but it sure made anyone in it feel special...!😁
Great car. Thank you!
I miss riding in those cars. They just soaked up the bumps and rode so smooth. Today’s car ride like a skateboard 👍🇺🇸
Yep, roomy, smooth ride and lots of power. A great combo!
Your camera work is splendid, wobble-free at speed. To this Canadian🇨🇦 your voice, qualities of speech, and passion for the topic add much to our viewing experience. '67 Dodge is my top fave.
Thank you! Your comment means a lot to me. I do have passion for muscle cars and try to do a good job.
I really like those 4 door hard top cars. Thanks for the show.
Hi Randall. The 4 doors are nice too! Thank you.
First time coming across your great videos. I have to tell you about my wonderful Dads cars in the 60’s. The first I have vague memories of is a 62 New Yorker Coupe, in all black with red leather interior, I was 7 when he came home with it. But in 64 I was 9 and have fond memories being with the him when he traded the New Yorker in on a beautiful metallic turquoise with black top and leather interior 64 Imperial Crown Coupe! We had till Mom told us, my brother and sister and I we were going to have a sibling, that was going to require a three row wagon. Oh but not just any wagon! But Dad custom ordered from his Marine buddies MOPAR dealer a 68 Chrysler Town&Country Beach Wagon in deep metallic maroon with matching three row leather interior, loaded with power everything, AM /FM, AC, tinted glass, all the chrome everywhere including huge roof rack with huge chrome handles on each side of the rear window. The best part was the 440/4 brl TNT engine with HD 727, plus factory towing package that came with a 3:23 posi rear. That car was in the family for 14 years and 140,000 hard but well cared for miles. The six of us siblings all took out drivers road test in that Beach Wagon! One night a friend and I had the Wagon going so fast, I had no real idea how fast, but the needle went past 120, into the clock to the right of the speedometer! That big ol 440 TNT was screaming! Sounding fantastic, that burned a bit more than 1/8 tank of premium gas as we watched the needle drop! Then all of a sudden BANG BANG we blew out both mufflers! I was scared shitless and drove slowly and as quietly home as I could! Then first thing in the morning after Dad went to work in his now new 73 Lincoln Coupe, I took the wagon out to replace both mufflers before my parents knew what was going on!
Thanks for the stories, I love them! They sound like great cars and fond memories. Thank you.
Wow mopar heaven 👍👍👍👍👍
Definitely!
Cool video. I always enjoy cruising down the road on a nice couch.
Not only were these old Mopars awesome to look at but they were so much fun to drive. I had a 72 Dodge Polara. I loved it.
I agree.
What a nice tour around the cars I grew up with. I am a new subscriber and enjoy your channel having grown up in a extreme Mopar only family 🙂
Hi Mile High Kit. Thank you!
The BEST C-BODY video I have ever seen from one of the bigger shows... Thanks! I have also been enjoying your other videos from this show. Subscribed!
Hi Frank. Thanks for the compliment about the videos, I appreciate it!
C-body’s rule! 👍
Large and in charge.
Nice video! Thanks. The Monaco wagon has the very rare "Super Light" option which is a single high intensity light on the drivers side of the front grill.
Hi Hemi Daytona. Thanks for pointing that out! The Super-Light is extremely rare and nice to see. Enjoy your day!
Some beautiful and rare land yachts!!
Thank you 👍🏻
They're classic works of art!
Definitely!
@@ultimatemusclecar Definitely!
MOPAR for life 👍🏻💯🇦🇺
And after
Enjoyed!!! 👍👍
Hi Throttle Power. Thank you!
My brother and I logged many miles looking at where we had been. Unfortunately, it was not in the back of a C body, but rather my mother's 65 Belvedere II B body with 383 power backed by the 727. Great times!
That's just as good. We had a '65 Belvedere also. Thanks for sharing your memories!
wow that must have been about half the world's supply of C bodies at that show. love them. so imposing, but some are kind of sporty too. and that Monaco wagon...wow
Great cars. Thank you for sharing.
I grew up driving the muscle car Mopars but now all I want is a convertible C body with a trunk that can fit luggage for a whole family and go on long road trips.
Hi James. Sounds like a great idea! Thank you.
I owned a 70 or 71 Fury, heck, been so long I don't remember the year. I will say the car rode very nice and was very smooth running with a 383 2 barrel. Surprisingly at 55 mph I got 18 mpg which was great for a large car. I also remember it had an excellent heater in the frigid winters where we lived.
Hi Frank. It's a great car. Thanks for sharing!
I'm sure I sat in a rear-facing seat long ago but the one that I remember clearest is the Ford LTD wagon where two seats faced each other and could fold away to allow a flat surface. Great camera work, Kevin. I'll be watching.
Hi Russell. Thanks for sharing, I appreciate it.
My first car was a '72 Fury. But the Sport Fury's you have captured here are fantastic. Thanks so much.
Hi Bruce. Nice first car. Thanks for sharing! Have a good weekend.
Pretty cool and rare rides, l like the unique and often overlooked cars you showed here , keep it up.
Thank you!
Our neighbors had a rear facing bench seat in their wagon, we hung out with their kids and lived in a small town that had a lake near by, so we would ride in the wagon quite often out to the beach, it was a great seat to ride in
It sounds like a lot of fun. Thank you for sharing!
@17:47 I have that same '68 Fury coupe (NON-Fast Top roof) with a 440 in QQ1 Electric Blue. Rough, but solid & runs good if anyone's looking for one.
Good job on the video.
Nice car! Thank you for sharing.
That Sport Fury S/23 is a rare car. I had never seen one until I watched this video. Even with the 383 you had more than adequate power with any of these cars. I also wasn't aware until recently that you could get a 440 6 barrel in some C body cars.
For C bodies, the Six Barrel was only available in the 70 Sport Fury GT making the GT in the video very special. Thank you for commenting. Enjoy the rest of your day.
Only in a 70 sport Fury GT. Rare as hen’s teeth
I know someone who owns a couple of the V-code (6 barrel) 1970 SF GT's. One of them is having a total nut and bolt resto done on it. I believe there were 71 of them produced. There were rumors that the 6 barrel would be offered again in 1971 but apparently it wasn't. I have seen the GT hood graphics photo'd on one car and it indicated 440 6 barrel.
The C series was also available in Australia, assembled in right hand drive in the Chrysler Melbourne Australia assembly plant, they were actually Plymouth Fury 3's howeve😊r were badged as Dodge Phoenix a name used on many Australian assembled Chrysler full sized cars since the early 60's, the Phoenix was fitted with the 383 BB and 727 Torqueflight and was if I remember correctly as a 4 door hardtop or a 4 door pillarless.
DeSoto , Dodge and Plymouths were assembled here in Australia prior to this and I owned a 1959 DeSoto Firesweep with the 361 BB and Torqueflite auto built in the South Australian Chrysler plant that also produced locally modified versions of the Plymouth Valiant but badged Chrysler Valiants here.
They were very popular and many thousands of the Valiant produced here with the 225 slant 6, 273, 318, 340 and 360 small block V8's and Chrysler Australias own hemi headed 6 cylinder 215, 245 and 265 cu engines, one version of the 265 hemi 6 produced around 300 hp factory equiped with 3 dual throat DCOE 45 Weber carburetters.
Hi Ross. Thank you for sharing the info on the Australian cars! There's a Wayfarer, or Ute as you call them? It's coming up in Monday's A body video. I also have a Valiant Pacer 245 car in the kickoff party (car show) video coming up. It's set up with a straight six and three carburetors.
Hi Ross, the Wayfarer I mentioned is in the A-body video just published.
A Pacer 245 car is in today's video: czcams.com/video/arOdZNRWz4s/video.html
i own a 70 fury convertible and its my favorite car to drive and its a very rare color combo citron mist metalic with two tone green interior and black top
Nice combination!
Just subscribed!
Hi Chief Mack. Thank you.
65-71 , sport fury, sp GT ,300s polara /monoco 500 bucket seats and console like my chargers but these are so rare as not many where saved lot where crushed, gave up there 383, 440s magumuns ,TNT and super commandos for muscle car conversions ,nothing like a long hi way drive in a c body
You’re right. Many C bodies lost their engines to higher priced e and b bodies.
Any Plymouth Fury VIPs I had a 1968 383 it was a beautiful car
Nice car! I don't remember seeing any that day.
Ah, Memories - I learned to drive on a 1969 Plymouth Fury II - 4 Door - later we got a 1973 Plymouth Sport Suburban 9 - Passenger Wagon. It was a 360 Electronic Ignition, and was sneaky - fast.
"sneaky-fast" I like that phrase. Thanks for sharing!
67 2 door New Yorker with TNT440 - Nothing could touch it at Top end
Once they get going, they get going!
Yeah friend of mine father had one real comfortable 😊
Nice! Thank you.
When I was a kid, we had a 68 polara wagon. I hated being in the far back seat looking at where we had been. Learned to drive in that car. It had a hypo 383 and it would get with the program. Would freak out friends who had never been in it by going over the speed bumps at our high school doing 30. You'd never know you hit them.
Lol. Thanks for sharing!
I had no idea that a 440 6bbl was ever offered on these!
Yes, but on the '70 Sport Fury GT only, no others.
I totally remember the opposite facing 3rd row seat. We had a Plymouth wagon with one. A bit of car sickness at first, but also a lot of making goofy faces at the folks behind you. I can only remember the "bird" being used once...ok... maybe twice...
Great stuff! Thanks for sharing and making me chuckle.
Oh that 67 Polara two door with black vinyl top gripped me!
I love the lines and color of that car.
In 1974 I bought a 1971 Sport Fury GT. It had actually been a 3M company car, I suppose because the 'strobe stripe' package was a 3M product. I didn't know how rare it was at the time but I called Chrysler and eventually someone was able to tell me the 375 production figure. Being young and stupid, one night after too many beers I decided to convert the car to a 4 speed. I rebuilt the engine - very well - and the conversion to the 4 speed went fine also but I ran out of money and then had to move 1000 miles and couldn't take it with, so I ended up basically trading it for a Scout II. The guy who traded the Scout for it was a sleaze who reported it stolen for the insurance money and sold it without the title to someone. I was told the car had actually been destroyed but some years ago I was contacted by someone who knew the whereabouts of the car and it was having some restoration body work done. He was able to tell me some unique things about it and there's no doubt it was my old car. (Example: he said that the vin on the dash pad indicated a 383 2 barrel car, and I had replaced the dash pad in my GT with one from a 383 car in the boneyard.) Unfortunately by the time I got to the body shop where he had seen it, it was done and gone. It was a dark green '71 GT with the gold stripes. If you ever find one of these with a 4 speed it's my old car. I know it's out there someplace. Look for the Mopar orange 'REVERSE' warning light under the dash, and a scattershield instead of the factory manual trans bellhousing. If I had been smart I'd have rebuilt the 440, maybe put in a small stall converter and left the rest of it BE!
Thanks for the story. Someone else was just looking to convert theirs to a 4-speed also. The original engine and transmission was already gone. If he did convert it, I would love to see it with a b body pistol grip.
They sure don't build em like this anymore! These land yachts would get up and go...
My dad had a green on green on green 1968 or 69 Chrysler 300, 2dr, 400 engine.
One day I had the cruse control at max (110 mph) and I saw a police car on a side road, but he didn't chase me.
A week or so later, on the same road, again cruse at max there was a police car, but he didn't chase me.
When I got home I was looking at the car, on the doors there was a gold 18 inch magnetic decal, than I realized the road was near a military firing range so I guessed the officer thought I was some Generals son and didn't want to deal with the paperwork?
I never drove that road again or max out the cruse control. ;-)
Great story. Thank you!
Interesting how many had big blocks. I think most Plymouths and Dodges had the 318 even in large cars.
I’ve known Dave for years up here in Canada. I recall bracket racing against him back in the day with his Fury GT 440.
That’s great. You don’t see too many C bodies at the drag strip.
👍🇺🇸
Hi Major Payne. Thank you!
I owned a 1970 SF GT and a 1971. The 1970 came with the 350 hp 440 (or a few had the 6 barrel). The 1971 came with the 375 hp 440. Why they didn't put the 375 hp engine in the '70 I don't know, but it could have used it. My 1971 which had the 375hp when stock would eat the 1970 alive - it would get rubber shifting into 2nd or kicking down to low at 25 mph if you matted the pedal. The 1970 was just blah by comparison.
Do you remember the rear gear ratios in each one? It's possible the '70 had optional 2.76 instead of 3.23s making it even worse.
"Cruising Vessels"
Hi Bill. That's a good one. Thank you!
Granted my 383 furys are 71, but both have something the s23 doesn't. The factory high flow exhaust manifolds. Which I presumed was the reason for the shape of the hood...
Why wasn't this option fitted to the s23 model? Did it not come out until 71?
Actually curious about this if anybody knows.
Hi Moral,, thanks for commenting. The S23 came with either the 318, 383 2 barrel or 4 barrel. The 1970 383 2 and 4 barrel (HP) options had different exhaust manifolds. The S23 in the video appears to have the correct 383 HP exhaust manifolds.
@@ultimatemusclecar Thanks for clarifying. Like I said, both my 71's are 383 4 barrel cars. Both of them have the high flow manifolds. The only reason I know, is because the old guys at the local mopar club told me under no circumstances should I swap them out for headers, because they were the best factory manifolds ever offered for these motors.
I'm guessing it was either a 71 and up part, or an ordered option.
Also, if your 383 is relatively stock, you're better off with the factory manifolds. Headers create issues like exhaust leaks etc.
440 6 pack with a 22 inch rad ?
Six pack
Wow, skipped right over the 3rd place winner.....
Sorry to spoil the party, my Dad bought a 69 Fury lll with a 383 two barrel carb. It never ran right. A cold start was murder. As soon as you put a load on it, it stalled. You really had to feather the gas pedal until it "broke through" and would actually run without stalling. Then, it was fine.
10 years later, I bought a Volare with a 225 six. Same problems.
Chrysler could never get their older engines to work right after they put on all the stuff to cut down air pollution.
It wasn't until I bought a 1989 Plymouth Acclaim that I had a Chrysler that ran good from the start.
Sadly, I took a job overseas in 1992 and sold it. I should have taken it with me. That was a great little car.
Dad's Fury rode nice once it got going, There was a quite long period there in which Chrysler challenged our loyalties, but we still stood firm!
I like to hear everybody’s story and experiences, good or bad. Thank you for sharing.
