Dave Wells, Fantastic job on what had to be a very difficult restoration! And for saving a car at a time that nobody else would have. Thanks Lou for the feature of special Mopar you're not going to see anywhere else..........
In 1990, at age 17, my first car was 20 years old! Older than me, but fantastically unique even back then, too. I had the 1970 Sport Fury S-23. Sure, not the 440 like the GT, only the 318. Lou asks if it was underpowered? Not that I could tell! The 318 was super reliable, and I drove it like a tank. Problem was in gas mileage, I can only imagine the 440 being even worse on fuel economy. Selling that car to go off to college remains my biggest regret ever! Lots of great memories, (including senior prom night in 1991- when I raced a 1987 Eagle Talon and blew its doors off on the way to the dance- LOL!) and this video helps them come all flooding back! Thank you, Lou. I have been waiting for one of these to come around and get featured. This was a real treat for me this morning! I only have a few pictures of me and the car left, but now I have this video too.
Jason Kline love your story! I never even realized there was a Fury S-23 model until this video. One correction, Eagles Talons didn't come out until 1990. I should know, a family member special ordered one the first year they came out, 1990.
I thought his was a few years old at the time, so my memory picked 1987. If it was newer, then that makes the story even better! We weren't drag racing or anything, but after the first time he blew past me ( I knew him as an acquaintance), I put my foot down and passed him with a vengeance. I'm pretty sure those Talons were like a rebadged Mitsubishi Eclipse. I'm sure he would have beat me off the line, but since the Plymouth was all top end, I was doing 90-100 with pedal to spare. He never managed to catch up, but may be he had to be less reckless with his dad's NEW car, then I had to be that night raging full of adolescent testosterone and my FURY didn't let me down!. LOL! BTW, my girlfriend wasn't too pleased at the time, but we had a great night still the same! Good Catch, and Thanks!
Jason Kline since you actually owned a S-23, can you tell us more about it? Loaded? Colors? How you found it. Yes the Eagle Talons and Plymouth Lasers were rebadged Mitsubishi Eclipses. They were build by Diamond star motors. I miss that Eagle Talon today like you miss your Sport Fury S-23. Is a super rare car today as ours was a special order car with all the trimmings.
OK. My story is exactly the reason why you don't buy a classic car for a 17 year old kid. My parents were separated, and she lived in an apartment complex that was probably 60% retirees. An older gentleman had the Sport Fury, and If he wasn't the original owner he was the second. He had it a long time, but had done some electrical work to it. Electrical problems were the worst part of the car. In this video, where the rear window defogger is, this guy had installed an after market 3rd brake light on mine, and the hide-away headlights never worked (stuck in open position). I think we paid him about 1500 or so cash, in 1990, for what my mom thought was an OLD worn out car. I had learned to drive in other family cars, but this was my first car, just for me. I needed to drive to school for my senior year, and we had got it that summer. Didn't do much work to it, but it did need a distributor cap and rotor at one point, and we did the water pump. As for my example, it was a faded red color, with the black strobe pin stripping, and a black vinyl interior. It wasn't loaded by any means, a basic version, but did have factory air that didn't work. I had managed to give it a few dings, and get a couple of speeding tickets. But it was a great car. Like I said, at the time I had to get ready to go off to college, a regular 3 hour commute to come back home to visit seemed like a lot of miles to put on an already high mileage car, and my Dad talked me into selling it to get something better on gas economy. He never told me how much he sold it for, and I saw it drive around town for a little while after. I had instant remorse, and just knew that the reason my dad never told me how much he got for it was that it wasn't enough. Even if we had just parked it, that thing would be worth a ton more than we ever spent on it by now. The video is accurate in that the GT had all the options. The S-23 was a stripped down, budget model. The surprise for me is that some came with the slant 6, presumably out of a Duster? THAT might have been underpowered because these are long heavy cars. But the 318 was a pretty decent v8, and hadn't yet been plagued to meet emission standards. In fact 1972 was the last year for the Sport Fury, because 1973 requirements couldn't be met in the platform. I didn't have it long, just over one year, but it was long enough to fall in love with the car forever.
Jason Kline awesome story. Was there any badges on the car that stated it was a S-23? How could anyone know that it was an S-23 by looking at it? I think the 6 cylinders only came in the Fury I and II. Even the S-23 base engine was the 318 V8 but could be optioned with the 383. So the only option your car had was the Air conditioning?
Wow a super restoration of the Plymouth fury GT! Love the blue color and the engine sound! He has a awesome GT! I bet that is a quick one too! Very very nice car and thanks to the owner for saving it! Thanks for sharing this with us Lou!
That B7 BLUE WAS A GREAT COLOR. It looked great on the 70 RT/SE Charger 440. Mine is B7 and.i get more questions on the color. Ive had it repainted 3 times. It runs a 1/4 at a time. 53 yrs old and had since 16 yrs old. My grandfather bought it from Grand Spaulding Dodge where i later worked!! Miss them days
This is one of my favourite cars that you’ve toured. That offset trunk lock, tilt/ rim-blow, quad exhaust are just a few of the details that are just so right.
I too took my driving test in a Mopar. It was a 1970 Newport 2 door in black with gold interior, 8 track and air. The DMV tester failed me for not getting the parallel parking perfect. Devastated, I later found out the jerk flunks all kids at 16. He apparently didn't feel we were experienced enough. I did go back 2 weeks later and passed. That car was amazingly fast and fun to race down the streets!

Dad had a 70 Fury I w/ a 318. Nothing like this car, of course. Seeing that dash brought back so many memories. I learned to drive in that car. Can't imagine driving anything so big again. It was 17 Ft. long. IT WAS HUGE INSIDE!

Thanks Lou, for sharing another Great Car ! I really appreciate all the work you do providing these Videos. The "Hideaway" Wipers are a Great Feature. The Car looks better and in Cold weather, they protect the Wipers from Freezing to the Windshield. Also if the Wipers do Freeze to the Windshield, they are so close to the engine that the heat released from the engine will unfreeze them in a couple minutes. I lived up in Canada, when I was in University doing my Masters Degree. I had a 1980 Cadillac Coupe DeVille with Hideaway Wipers, Never once did I have to fight with frozen in place wipers.
One of my favorite all time cars! Lou you did another 1970 Plymouth Sport Fury GT in a white exterior owned by a father/son that was beautiful. But honestly, this one in Jamaica Blue is gorgeous with that gold/yellow reflective strip. I guess Air conditioning couldn't be had on the 440 six pack either? Lol. Probably being a Buffalo N.Y. car, the rear defogger was more of a necessity than the Air conditioning option. And who doesn't love the hideaway headlight? Dave was awesome and knowledgeable.

The 70 model also came with what they called the 90% power steering. Some said it allowed over steering but i never had a problem with it. This is still my dream car today. I regret ever trading mine in for a new car.
Thanks for sharing all these magnificent C bodies! I’ve owned three Newports, a 71, 73 and 77 and enjoyed each one. Those look like Coker replica polyglass tires. I dig the 67 Fury convertible that drove by in the background.

My first car in 1995 was a army jeep green 71 Fury 3 two door hardtop 318. My elderly great uncle still has a red/white top 68 Sport Fury 383 with white interior.
If Mopar was to make these again, their doors would be flooded with buyers. Me being right there too. Love these cars. Very comfortable with speed. Thanks Lou and to the guy who shows it. Outstanding.
Hi Lewis Yoder, Glad to read you enjoy this car and consider it "awesome" :-) Sounds you you enjoyed your 1968 too. Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Lou, You really do show your subscribers some very beautiful cars! Most of these Sport Fury’s were harvested for their engines and left for the crusher making them one of the rarest of The Chrysler’s crop for 1970. This one with all it’s options is a real treat to see. Thx again Lou (The former Bradydog23)

A friends, brother bought 70 Cuda pistol grip 4 speed with 440 4 barrel N - 50's with aluminum slots and dual exhaust. Both of us would sit in the passages as kids as he ran threw gears. Man, that car was fast as it was cool! He wrecked it 3 days later spent some time it the hospital. But when he got the insurance check. He bought a Super Bee 383 automatic and a spoiler. That car was just as cool too! Shawn
Nice Sport Fury. Oh these old Dodges and Plymouths bring back memories. I would ride my bicycle over to the nearest Chrysler-Plymouth dealership and peer into the windows of every vehicle, and read the sheets in the windows. I'm sure they wondered why there were fingerprints and noseprints on the windows! 😄 The blue Dodge Charger behind Dave's car is so beautiful too. Thank you Lou!
Thanks Lou. Early Sunday morning w/ coffee and My car story. I'm gonna make this my routine! My grandma only drove Plymouth's. I would refer to her as a Plymouth Lady.

beautiful car - my favorite year for Fury - I was fortunate to have grown up during the era when these beauties were new in the Holley Motor Co. showroom in Tyler, Texas (east Texas’ only full line Chrysler dealer - including Imperial) my grandfather traded our 4 company cars every 2-3 years and - we traded our 68 Ember Gold metallic/white vinyl roof Fury III 2-door Fast Top and a 68 Hawaiian Blue Sport Suburban 2-seat wagon (both Commando 383-equipped) for a 70 Sunfire Yellow/black vinyl roof Sport Fury 2-door hardtop and a 70 Sandpebble Beige Sport Suburban 2-seat wagon - both 70 models were equipped with 383 engines and hood-mounted turn signals adjacent the “383” hood-mounted engine displacement badges. All “Sport” Fury models including Sport Suburban wagons were equipped with the red, white and blue rectangle adjacent the driver side concealed headlamp door. The grilles/headlamp doors on these cars had a black background with horizontal argent silver painted lines (I believe the GT and S/23 models had fully blacked out grilles but I need some verification of this detail). the sales brochure pictures appear to bear this out - by the way the chrome styled road wheel was a correct option on all models except wagons Incidentally, I had left comments pertaining to the Tor-Red Sport Suburban wagon you featured in a different CZcams segment a while back. Our friend OsbornTramain posted a very cool original “Plymouth Makes It” (1970 Plymouth ad slogan) TV commercial here on CZcams (see link below). the “fuselage styled” vehicles - especially the wagons really were beautiful - with their curved glass, sheet metal, integrated rear window roof air deflectors and chrome/vinyl tailgate assist handles - just can’t say enough about these great cars czcams.com/video/jhKvuly780I/video.html

It's the furious beast, almost 50 years old, what a great car, made in era when engine bays were not cluttered with government smog emissions equipment, and high tech computers, electronics, and plastic everywhere.

I'm a huge Mopar fan and I had no idea any Sport Fury GT's came from the factory with the 440 Six Barrel. I think I just found my new favorite full size muscle car LoL
I remember this car years ago running at Lancaster speedway. Always wondered what happened to it. I think i still have a picture of it somewhere. They did indeed make them with slant sixes. My dad had a 70 B5 blue 2 door Fury I with a 225 slant six and floor mounted 3 speed manual transmission!

Awesome car Dave! I use to race you at Cayuga and St Thomas with your 70 Sport GT 440 , four barrel I believe. I have always loved these cars. My grandpa had a 70 GT ! To bad the dude had no idea about Mopars or your car in particular.
I sure these big powerful road cars, I once ownen a 71 Fury GT 440 4 barrel, I was hard up for cash and sold it for 700$ in 1979, It had 60 sieries tires from the factory and wss fast. I sure wish I would have stashed that big ride!😊

I had a 440 Mag RT/SE Challenger. WHEN it was running, it was amazing.... The cam they use in those is SOOO high lift that the springs are like impossible to compress to keep the lifters from floating at high revs. So the lifters would wear out. And eat the cam.

I took my driving test in Maryland in a 1970 Fury - 3 on the tree, no power steering or brakes! My parents bought it brand new for $2500. It was the totally stripped model that dealers got to attract you to buy but then changed your mind to buy something far more expensive… nobody ever got in my way!

By the way - there was a lot of discussion about having a 318 engine… Ours was a 318 & had more than enough “impulse” but perhaps that was because it a standard transmission.

Beautiful car Lou. There were 440 comments for this powerful 440 cubic inch Sport Fury. I almost didn't comment because I didn't want to wreck the 440 comments number. Lol.
I was just watching the new Buick GS 340 vid, and have a story about one, BUT I saw this and HAD to watch it. Super rare, super nice, I'd *LOVE* to own it!!
Lou, I know this car well it was my buddy Charlie's in the late 70's. He bought it from a woman that lived down the street from him. She was our lunch lady in the cafeteria in our highschool and it was her daily driver. He drag raced it often at Lancaster Speedway and probably sold it to the guy that later junked it. Pass it on to Dave if you can. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing another super rare car Lou. My Aunt had one with a 383, in brown. I grew up in C body Mopars, I was born in 63, my dad had 63,67 and 71 New Yorkers. Then a pair of 73 and 74 Chargers. Black and Gold. Needless to say my first car was a Coronet and I've owned C bodies, Dodge trucks and a lot of Mopars. Keep the Mopars coming Lou! Obtw, I'm a GM retiree, so, you know I like those too. lol
Lou Costabile , I just watched one from a year ago from the sunroof show, the Gurney Cougar, another rare one. BTW,. In the background is a black 75 Roadrunner. Someone gave me a base 75 Sport Fury with blown head gaskets. I'm looking at it, and I've got a 68 318 with 230 horse compared to the 75s 110. Well, you know what happened! Lol
When I was a kid in the late 70s my neighbor had one of these cars except hers was brown, she must have been at least 80 years old and every morning she would come backing out of the driveway burning rubber and then lay down some serious rubber heading towards the stop sign at the end of the block. My sister and I thought it was hilarious.

You know you're looking at a cool car when you can hardly tell the front from the back. Back in the 90's I worked at a car auction. These were pretty rare even back then. Near the time I quit we had close to 6k cars out in the yard. I think we only had 1 or 2 of these come through.

The Plymouth badge on the left corner of the dash is a filler panel for non ac cars where otherwise there’d be an ac vent. AC wasn’t available on 6 pack cars.
Damn that's a nice car and from Ontario Canada where I am from what a sweet car my friends dad has a 70 Fury GT it has the high HP 440 Super Commando it's blue with white interior and fully loaded I don't think it's the same blue as that car but it's just as nice

HI Jeff King, Glad you enjoy this rare one and all the details :-) You're welcome, Lou
In 1990, at age 17, my first car was 20 years old! Older than me, but fantastically unique even back then, too. I had the 1970 Sport Fury S-23. Sure, not the 440 like the GT, only the 318. Lou asks if it was underpowered? Not that I could tell! The 318 was super reliable, and I drove it like a tank. Problem was in gas mileage, I can only imagine the 440 being even worse on fuel economy. Selling that car to go off to college remains my biggest regret ever! Lots of great memories, (including senior prom night in 1991- when I raced a 1987 Eagle Talon and blew its doors off on the way to the dance- LOL!) and this video helps them come all flooding back! Thank you, Lou. I have been waiting for one of these to come around and get featured. This was a real treat for me this morning! I only have a few pictures of me and the car left, but now I have this video too.
Jason Kline love your story! I never even realized there was a Fury S-23 model until this video. One correction, Eagles Talons didn't come out until 1990. I should know, a family member special ordered one the first year they came out, 1990.
I thought his was a few years old at the time, so my memory picked 1987. If it was newer, then that makes the story even better! We weren't drag racing or anything, but after the first time he blew past me ( I knew him as an acquaintance), I put my foot down and passed him with a vengeance. I'm pretty sure those Talons were like a rebadged Mitsubishi Eclipse. I'm sure he would have beat me off the line, but since the Plymouth was all top end, I was doing 90-100 with pedal to spare. He never managed to catch up, but may be he had to be less reckless with his dad's NEW car, then I had to be that night raging full of adolescent testosterone and my FURY didn't let me down!. LOL! BTW, my girlfriend wasn't too pleased at the time, but we had a great night still the same! Good Catch, and Thanks!
Jason Kline since you actually owned a S-23, can you tell us more about it? Loaded? Colors? How you found it. Yes the Eagle Talons and Plymouth Lasers were rebadged Mitsubishi Eclipses. They were build by Diamond star motors. I miss that Eagle Talon today like you miss your Sport Fury S-23. Is a super rare car today as ours was a special order car with all the trimmings.
OK. My story is exactly the reason why you don't buy a classic car for a 17 year old kid. My parents were separated, and she lived in an apartment complex that was probably 60% retirees. An older gentleman had the Sport Fury, and If he wasn't the original owner he was the second. He had it a long time, but had done some electrical work to it. Electrical problems were the worst part of the car. In this video, where the rear window defogger is, this guy had installed an after market 3rd brake light on mine, and the hide-away headlights never worked (stuck in open position). I think we paid him about 1500 or so cash, in 1990, for what my mom thought was an OLD worn out car. I had learned to drive in other family cars, but this was my first car, just for me. I needed to drive to school for my senior year, and we had got it that summer. Didn't do much work to it, but it did need a distributor cap and rotor at one point, and we did the water pump. As for my example, it was a faded red color, with the black strobe pin stripping, and a black vinyl interior. It wasn't loaded by any means, a basic version, but did have factory air that didn't work. I had managed to give it a few dings, and get a couple of speeding tickets. But it was a great car. Like I said, at the time I had to get ready to go off to college, a regular 3 hour commute to come back home to visit seemed like a lot of miles to put on an already high mileage car, and my Dad talked me into selling it to get something better on gas economy. He never told me how much he sold it for, and I saw it drive around town for a little while after. I had instant remorse, and just knew that the reason my dad never told me how much he got for it was that it wasn't enough. Even if we had just parked it, that thing would be worth a ton more than we ever spent on it by now. The video is accurate in that the GT had all the options. The S-23 was a stripped down, budget model. The surprise for me is that some came with the slant 6, presumably out of a Duster? THAT might have been underpowered because these are long heavy cars. But the 318 was a pretty decent v8, and hadn't yet been plagued to meet emission standards. In fact 1972 was the last year for the Sport Fury, because 1973 requirements couldn't be met in the platform. I didn't have it long, just over one year, but it was long enough to fall in love with the car forever.
Jason Kline awesome story. Was there any badges on the car that stated it was a S-23? How could anyone know that it was an S-23 by looking at it? I think the 6 cylinders only came in the Fury I and II. Even the S-23 base engine was the 318 V8 but could be optioned with the 383. So the only option your car had was the Air conditioning?
Wow a super restoration of the Plymouth fury GT! Love the blue color and the engine sound! He has a awesome GT! I bet that is a quick one too! Very very nice car and thanks to the owner for saving it! Thanks for sharing this with us Lou!
Hi Steve Flad, Always happy to read a "Wow" in the comment :-) You're welcome, Lou
I'd love to see the before and during resto pics.. The result is fabulous!
That B7 BLUE WAS A GREAT COLOR. It looked great on the 70 RT/SE Charger 440. Mine is B7 and.i get more questions on the color.
Ive had it repainted 3 times.
It runs a 1/4 at a time. 53 yrs old and had since 16 yrs old.
My grandfather bought it from Grand Spaulding Dodge where i later worked!!
Miss them days
This is one of my favourite cars that you’ve toured. That offset trunk lock, tilt/ rim-blow, quad exhaust are just a few of the details that are just so right.
Hi bdb studio, Happy to read this one is a favorite of yours :-) Lou
I too took my driving test in a Mopar. It was a 1970 Newport 2 door in black with gold interior, 8 track and air. The DMV tester failed me for not getting the parallel parking perfect. Devastated, I later found out the jerk flunks all kids at 16. He apparently didn't feel we were experienced enough. I did go back 2 weeks later and passed. That car was amazingly fast and fun to race down the streets!

Dad had a 70 Fury I w/ a 318. Nothing like this car, of course. Seeing that dash brought back so many memories. I learned to drive in that car. Can't imagine driving anything so big again. It was 17 Ft. long. IT WAS HUGE INSIDE!

Cool. In 1977 my older brother came home with a flat black Fury and left a positraction burnout on dad's new driveway.
Hi Mr. Fruity Pebbles, I'm sure your Brother was proud until Dad saw the results :-) Lou
Thanks Lou, for sharing another Great Car ! I really appreciate all the work you do providing these Videos. The "Hideaway" Wipers are a Great Feature. The Car looks better and in Cold weather, they protect the Wipers from Freezing to the Windshield. Also if the Wipers do Freeze to the Windshield, they are so close to the engine that the heat released from the engine will unfreeze them in a couple minutes. I lived up in Canada, when I was in University doing my Masters Degree. I had a 1980 Cadillac Coupe DeVille with Hideaway Wipers, Never once did I have to fight with frozen in place wipers.
Hi Max, I like the hidden wipers too :-) My pleasure sharing with you. Thanks for your kind words on the videos, it's appreciated, Lou
It was definitely a good idea. Pontiac pioneered it in 1967 and I think pretty much every car has that feature today.
my mom had one of these when i was little.
what a hauler.
still love it to this day
Hi efogg3, Wonderful memories :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing details on your Mom's car, Lou
One of my favorite all time cars! Lou you did another 1970 Plymouth Sport Fury GT in a white exterior owned by a father/son that was beautiful. But honestly, this one in Jamaica Blue is gorgeous with that gold/yellow reflective strip. I guess Air conditioning couldn't be had on the 440 six pack either? Lol. Probably being a Buffalo N.Y. car, the rear defogger was more of a necessity than the Air conditioning option. And who doesn't love the hideaway headlight? Dave was awesome and knowledgeable.
Hi Kenneth White, Glad to read a Winner for you! This car was parked next to the White Fury the day I filmed it :-) Lou
no a.c. on 6 packs, as it interfered with the front carb
Gotta love Mopar. 440 6pack, bucket seats, auto on the floor with console . What a great car, wish it was in my garage.

Lou,
You really do show your subscribers some very beautiful cars! Most of these Sport Fury’s were harvested for their engines and left for the crusher making them one of the rarest of The Chrysler’s crop for 1970. This one with all it’s options is a real treat to see. Thx again Lou (The former Bradydog23)

A friends, brother bought 70 Cuda pistol grip 4 speed with 440 4 barrel N - 50's with aluminum slots and dual exhaust. Both of us would sit in the passages as kids as he ran threw gears. Man, that car was fast as it was cool! He wrecked it 3 days later spent some time it the hospital. But when he got the insurance check. He bought a Super Bee 383 automatic and a spoiler. That car was just as cool too! Shawn
Some good memories (other than the hospital visit) :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing Shawn Beck, Lou
Nice Sport Fury. Oh these old Dodges and Plymouths bring back memories. I would ride my bicycle over to the nearest Chrysler-Plymouth dealership and peer into the windows of every vehicle, and read the sheets in the windows. I'm sure they wondered why there were fingerprints and noseprints on the windows! 😄 The blue Dodge Charger behind Dave's car is so beautiful too. Thank you Lou!

beautiful car - my favorite year for Fury - I was fortunate to have grown up during the era when these beauties were new in the Holley Motor Co. showroom in Tyler, Texas (east Texas’ only full line Chrysler dealer - including Imperial) my grandfather traded our 4 company cars every 2-3 years and - we traded our 68 Ember Gold metallic/white vinyl roof Fury III 2-door Fast Top and a 68 Hawaiian Blue Sport Suburban 2-seat wagon (both Commando 383-equipped) for a 70 Sunfire Yellow/black vinyl roof Sport Fury 2-door hardtop and a 70 Sandpebble Beige Sport Suburban 2-seat wagon - both 70 models were equipped with 383 engines and hood-mounted turn signals adjacent the “383” hood-mounted engine displacement badges. All “Sport” Fury models including Sport Suburban wagons were equipped with the red, white and blue rectangle adjacent the driver side concealed headlamp door. The grilles/headlamp doors on these cars had a black background with horizontal argent silver painted lines (I believe the GT and S/23 models had fully blacked out grilles but I need some verification of this detail). the sales brochure pictures appear to bear this out - by the way the chrome styled road wheel was a correct option on all models except wagons
Incidentally, I had left comments pertaining to the Tor-Red Sport Suburban wagon you featured in a different CZcams segment a while back. Our friend OsbornTramain posted a very cool original “Plymouth Makes It” (1970 Plymouth ad slogan) TV commercial here on CZcams (see link below). the “fuselage styled” vehicles - especially the wagons really were beautiful - with their curved glass, sheet metal, integrated rear window roof air deflectors and chrome/vinyl tailgate assist handles - just can’t say enough about these great cars

It's the furious beast, almost 50 years old, what a great car, made in era when engine bays were not cluttered with government smog emissions equipment, and high tech computers, electronics, and plastic everywhere. It's an honest big powerful American car, that has style and comfort and what more would you want.
Well said Marten Trudeau :-)
What a great find and save on Dave’s part. I love these old Fury models and as many, I didn’t realize the 6-pack setup was available for these cars.

I remember this car years ago running at Lancaster speedway. Always wondered what happened to it. I think i still have a picture of it somewhere. They did indeed make them with slant sixes. My dad had a 70 B5 blue 2 door Fury I with a 225 slant six and floor mounted 3 speed manual transmission!

I had a 440 Mag RT/SE Challenger. WHEN it was running, it was amazing.... The cam they use in those is SOOO high lift that the springs are like impossible to compress to keep the lifters from floating at high revs. So the lifters would wear out. And eat the cam.

By the way - there was a lot of discussion about having a 318 engine… Ours was a 318 & had more than enough “impulse” but perhaps that was because it a standard transmission.

The Plymouth badge on the left corner of the dash is a filler panel for non ac cars where otherwise there’d be an ac vent. AC wasn’t available on 6 pack cars.
Hi James, Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Lou
Love these cars, and lets face it, your not going to get anything much bigger!
Hi Andrew Hepburn, Glad you love it. You're right, this one is a Whopper :-) Lou
Back when regular gas was still 35 cents per ding. Premuim was usually 2 or 3 cents higher. Nice looking car!

I had a ‘70 sport fury about 30 yrs ago same bronze color as the S23. 383, bench seat. Not nearly as nice as this but really loved it.

Pure gorgeous class!
Happy to read you enjoy this car :-)
Very nice car. I knew these were available with the 440 but didn't realize they actually built any 6 Pack 440's, a beautiful Mopar.

"V" code in VIN means the 6 barrel was factory installed
@@kainsel So this is a puzzler indeed, as I don't recall seeing or commenting on this episode. I am well aware of the V code as I have a 70 6 Pack Challenger. At the same time I didn't know anything about this car & would have little doubt that they built it as many ultra rare examples of everything were built in those days...So no doubts on my end, awesome Mopar. I edited the initial post for the record as the owner deserves the upmost respect, thanks for catching this..
I echo your thoughts concerning a remake of Christine...use a 1970 this time. So badass.
