1965 Plymouth Sport Fury - Rare - Mopar - 426 Street Wedge - 4 Spd - No Reserve! on 2040-cars
San Antonio, Texas, United States
|
Vehicle Description
No Reserve Auction! PLEASE do
not bid unless you are serious about purchasing. This is a rare car in survivor condition and
would make an exceptional investment.
Don’t miss out on a unique opportunity to own this vintage, big block
MOPAR!
For your consideration, is my 1965 Plymouth Sport
Fury with numbers matching 426cid Street Wedge and 4-speed manual
transmission. Color is medium-red
metallic with black vinyl roof. I
believe this car is somewhat of a rare find, especially in this condition.
The engine stamp
is dated 11/16 which is three days prior to the car's build date on the fender
tag. Depending on who you ask, the
engine date and the car's build date can vary by up to 30 days or more in some
cases. The production number is
04348. I'm guessing this was the 4,348th
Sport Fury built for the '65 model year. Note:
I have been told the 4-speed shifter arm is not original to the
car. It was this way when I bought the
car from my mechanic in El Paso in 2006.
I do not have any other information than that.
According
to the Standard Catalog of Chrysler
1914-2000, Second Edition, Edited by James T. Lenzke, a total of 38,348 Sport Fury Hardtops were produced in 1965. However, only 2.6% of ALL Furys produced in 1965 were 4-speeds. IF 2.6% of all Sport Fury Hardtops were 4-speeds, that would
equal 997.
#
of Sport Furys with a 4-Speed and 318 = ???
Since the 318 was standard equipment on the Sport Fury (as was a three
speed manual trans), the 4-speed option was probably rarely selected.
#
of Sport Furys with a 4-Speed and 383 = ???
The vast majority of the 4-speeds were probably found here. The 4-speed option cost an additional $188
and the 383 big block added another $153.
#
of Sport Furys with a 4-Speed and 426 = ???
The remaining 4-speeds were mated up with the venerable 426 Street
Wedge! Again, the 4-speed option added
$188 but the Commando 426 was not cheap at an extra $545! At a factory price of $2920, I don’t see a
whole lot of folks paying an extra $733 for this combo, but you never know.
Vehicle Condition
Car runs great and has lots of power! It floats down the road effortlessly and is a
real joy to drive! Depending on how long
it’s been sitting, it does take 5-10 seconds of cranking to start up and has an
automatic choke which engages on ignition.
After the desired amount of warm up, depress the accelerator fully to
disengage the choke and return RPM to the normal idle range (I can’t tell you
what that is because the tach is not operational). Odometer displays 66,455 miles (actual miles
unknown). I have the fender tag, but no
buildsheet. Underneath is solid with the
usual cobwebs and grease/grime. The
clutch, front suspension components, rear shocks, master cylinder, gas tank
sending unit, and speedometer cable have all been recently replaced. Also, the leaf springs have been re-arched
& re-painted. Paint is good for an
older resto, but does have a few minor imperfections/chips. There are no dents or previous body work. Vinyl top is in great shape!
Interior is new from Legendary and dash pad has been restored by Just Dashes. Both the
headliner and carpet are in excellent condition. All gauges and lights work, except the
driver’s side courtesy lights (passenger side courtesy lights work). Steering wheel is cracked in a couple of
places and is currently covered. All
glass is good; however, the driver’s side door glass is a little loose from the
front vertical moulding (window goes up and down fine but needs to be held
forward while cranking). There are a few
minor stress cracks in two of the tail lights, but included are two full spare
sets for parts. Tires are new from Coker
(All Season Dimension IV Whitewalls). I
do have the original Goodyear tires (the ones that were on it when I bought it
about six years ago) which have about 1/4 ” of tread left. If you want, I can throw them in the
trunk. Speaking of the trunk, it is
nicely detailed with carpet mat, spare tire, and jack. AM radio works, although the dash speaker is a
little fuzzy. Rear speakers are in place,
but not wired up.
The only other issue is that the driver’s side front
carpet gets damp when washing the car.
Recommend keeping the vehicle in a garage or carport. Floors are solid (the gentleman I bought it
from kept it garaged, as have I). Car is
currently sitting in my buddy’s carport in San Antonio (Randolph Air Force
Base).
This baby was featured on the ’62-’65 Mopar website
back in September 2007 (see below).
http://www.1962to1965mopar.ornocar.com/mmo92007.html I
have described the car the best I can. I
wanted to list everything, so there wouldn’t be any surprises. If you would like to call to ask questions, you
can reach me at 850-240-5240.
Terms of Sale
This beauty is sold as is, where is, with no warranty expressed or implied; once vehicle is purchased, sale is final; no refunds. I require a $500 non-refundable deposit at end of the auction (within 48 hours) via Paypal (no credit cards please) and full amount within 7 days by bank wire. Wiring instructions will be provided to the winning bidder at the close of the auction. Vehicle will not be released until all funds clear. Shipping and all associated costs are the responsibility of the buyer. As I mentioned above, the car is currently stored in a friend’s carport in San Antonio. I am in Fort Walton Beach Florida, so I will need to travel back to San Antonio to orchestrate the shipping. It has not been driven since last summer, so I will need to wash & wax the car and charge the battery before shipping. For some reason this listing is showing Body Type and Drive Type as U/K. I don't know what the hell that is, but please disregard. The website would not allow me to complete the listing without selecting that feature.
SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY! NO TRADES!
I REPEAT, NO TRADES! DO NOT BID
UNLESS YOU CAN WIRE THE ENTIRE AMOUNT WITHIN 7 DAYS! BY BIDDING, YOU ARE ENTERING INTO A BINDING
CONTRACT TO PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE. NON-PAYING
BIDDERS WILL RECEIVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK.
IF YOU HAVE ANY NEGATIVE FEEDBACK WITHIN THE LAST SIX MONTHS OR ZERO
FEEDBACK, I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CANCEL YOUR BID UNLESS YOU CONTACT ME WITHIN
24 HOURS WITH AN EXPLANATION OF YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES.
GOOD LUCK!!! |

'71 Plymouth Hemi Cuda Convertible sells for $3.5M [w/video]
Mon, 16 Jun 2014
We're plenty used to seeing classic cars selling for millions of dollars. It's just that they're usually European: Ferraris, Bugattis, Mercedes and the like. There are some rare American exceptions, usually wearing the names Duesenberg or Shelby. But what we have here is the most expensive Chrysler product ever sold at auction.
The vehicle in question is a Plymouth Barracuda - specifically a 1971 Hemi Cuda Convertible, chassis #BS27R1B315367 - that Mecum Auctions just sold after eight solid minutes of feverish bidding for a high bid of $3.5 million at its auction in Seattle, Washington. That figure positively eclipses the $2.2 million paid for a strikingly similar Hemi Cuda (chassis #BS27R1B269588) fetched nearly seven years ago in Scottsdale and another that was the first muscle car to break the million-dollar mark in 2002.
SRT belatedly claims Plymouth Prowler as one of its own
Wed, 19 Dec 2012Before Chrysler had Street and Racing Technology, it had Performance Vehicle Operations. What the two entities have in common, before SRT became its own brand, of course, is that each was created to take Chrysler and Dodge (and Plymouth, before it was unceremoniously killed off) vehicles to the next level of style and performance.
We'll leave the question of whether or not the old Plymouth (and later Chrysler) Prowler was ultimately a stylish, performance-oriented car to you, but the boys and girls currently leading the SRT charge at the Pentastar headquarters are keen to accept the retro-rod into the fold.
According to the automaker, all of SRT's current high-performance models owe a debt of gratitude to the old Prowler, due mostly to that car's use of lightweight bits and pieces and innovative construction techniques. If nothing else, the fact that the Prowler's frame is "the largest machined automotive part in history" is pretty cool. Read all the details here.
US Marshal's classic muscle car auction officially in the books
Thu, 25 Sep 2014The US Marshal's so-called Blood Muscle Auction was completed earlier this month, with the prestigious nine-car field (two cars were added following Autoblog's initial story, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 and a rare, mid-restoration 1971 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda) finding new and hopefully law-abiding owners.
While we'd normally recap the stars of the show, in this particular auction, every car's sale was newsworthy. The full list of sale prices doesn't seem to be published, but according to The New York Times, the auction brought in a total of $2.5 million, or an average of about $277,000 per car.
The king of the contest seems to be a 1970 Plymouth Superbird (above, right), complete with a 426-cubic-inch Hemi V8, which brought home $575,000. The trio of Yenko Chevys, meanwhile, all easily cleared the six-figure mark, with the Yenko Camaro (above, far right) clearing $315,000, the Chevelle crossing the block for $237,500 and the supremely rare - one of just 37 - Yenko Nova (shown above, left) selling for an even $400,000.
