Sport Fury's are considered 'B' bodies in these years? 1967 Fury's are C bodies right?
(learning ever day still at my age) :)

Car to the right and the lt blue are Belv/Sats, The burg with Cragar SS-type wheel is a 65 Dart, under the polytarp looks like 70 Cuda.

I'm gonna guess the seller thinks the 4x4 is a Sport Satellite, which he brain-twisted the Sport part into a higher model like the Sport Fury.
The '65 sport fury is a C body. Pomonamissel is pointing out the fact that the car shown has the wrong tail light holes to be a sport fury. Square tail lights are Belvedere or Satellite "B" bodies. Rectangular tail lights were used on the Sport Fury or "C" body. '67 and later Fury's are "C" bodies until they became "M" bodies for the Fury 1 and Sport fury starting in 1977 and for the rest of the Chrysler line in 1979.

Actually a 65 Fury has squarish taillights, and a Fury 1 or 2 could have them only on the quarterpanel. The rear window is the big clue it's a B-body, but taillight area is distinct also to B-body.

The Fury lineup from 65 thru 89 is a complex thing, here's my memory of it, and I'm sure I have some stuff wrong in here also.

VIPs ran from 66-69. Sport Fury name ran from 65-71, Gran Fury and Gran Sedan were there from 71-72 or maybe 71-73, IIRC there is a 1-year overlap in 71 of Gran and Sport. 71 Grans were actually built off of Fury 2 models, so not as high up as Sport, but in 72-3 Gran was top car. Furys were C's until 74 when the Formals started. in 74 Fury was still full-size (avail in 1, 2, and 3 trims?), then in 75 Fury became a B-body and the Gran Fury name took over the prior year's Formal body. 'Sport' was available on the B-body 2dr thru 78 (no 4drs like in 70-71), but I believe it's a Fury Sport, and not a Sport Fury. Stayed that way until end of 78, when smaller Fury disappeared totally (along with 400 and 440s in cars) and Gran Fury became an R-body thru 81. In 82 Gran Fury then moved to the M-body thru end of 89. M-bodies started in 77, but only Dippys and LeBarons.

Correction here...the Sport Fury debuted in 1959...

*just to add clarity... No Fury of any type in '79. They became R-bodies (continuing the Gran prefix) for '80-'81, then M-bodies until '89. They were available to civilians, but the vast majority from '80-'89 were fleet (government) orders.

Correct, but you have to cross the 'B-body abyss' to get to the Forward Look era, and I was only intending to start with the C-bodies.

Good catch on 1979. I retyped my post several times as I noticed a few inaccuracies as I went, but missed that one.
