For Sale 1968 Plymouth Sport Fury Convertible 383 4 Speed

[hergfest]

I've got my 68 Fury 4-speed car on ebay right now. I will be curious to see what happens. I bought the car off ebay back in 2009, so I'm hoping to get what I paid for it, plus a little extra for the upgrades I did.

Saw that on Ebay, love the Black on White color combo. Looks like a decent car.

I saw that one too, before I came back to this post, and wondered if you were referencing the black 'vert in the Carolinas.
I don't know what you paid/put into it, but $13500 was a pretty good price I think.

Well, it looks like it will still be for sale. It looks like I'm dealing with a deadbeat bidder. The 2 emails I sent to him have come back returned. I asked for the contact info from ebay and there was a phone number. I tried calling it last night and texted it this morning, no answer to either. I asked for a deposit in 48 hours which just passed. I am going to file a non-payment complaint soon.

I thought 13,500 was a weird round number, high bids on ebay are never that flat.
Good luck with that otherwise, though.

It was kind of weird bidding, so I should have known something was up. The car met the reserve Sunday morning, then nothing until about an hour before the end and then again right as the auction ended. The other bidder was listed as someone from Australia but with no feedback and they started bidding with about an hour left so not much time to ask questions and evaluate what was going on. The winning bidder is from either Washington or Oregon...ebay lists a WA town and the phone number is Oregon. I wish you could see what kind of items the bidders have bought/sold to get their feedback, you used to be able to see that.

I am not sure if I will re-list on ebay or not. I figured it was a way to get a bunch of eyes on the car, there were 86 watchers. I made up my mind to sell it so I don't really want it lingering around here for months. I want to sell it and be done with it as I'm ready to move on; but I'm not going to fire-sale it to just get rid of it, its not a financial burden to hang on to it. I was pretty happy with the $13.5k. I was hoping for around $14k or greater, but I didn't want to quibble over $500.

Sounds exactly like the Australian who ended up buying my 67 Newport.
Relist it.

I thought we had gone over this one a little more, searched & searched, it's off that other classic car site, maybe it was the other blue Massachusetts 68 vert.
Oh well this one is up again with more pictures of the nastiness.

That's definitely come through here. Lots of issues as I remember.

Here's the fender tag from my 2016 archive photos (same) of this car.

If you put another $15k in that one I bet you could get $20k out of it.

Still a 1 of 73, according to Galen, (or, 1 of 72 since I have one too). That reverse indicator under the dash must be an add on though.

 

[fury fan]

Seems that reverse light is a 71-up thing, isn't it?

I've seen that version of reverse light for sale, but was listed for Cuda, Challenger, Charger, Roadrunner, GTX, Satellite of the 1970/71 years. Add on? could be.

I searched for a vintage picture for the reverse light on a 1967/68 manual transmission version, and all I've come up with is this area of the speedometer.
I this where it should be?

 

[68PK21 440.6bbl]

Well a little bit more of a confusion.
I searched through my 67/68 3spd/4spd interior pictures and while most didn't have this under dash light I found a couple of 1968's that did.
The top picture appears to be a mostly not too molested barn find and the bottom one has been 'Hot Rodded'.

And a another 1968 Fury with no light.

That arrow points to the oil pressure light. In my car, anyway.
I cannot imagine they reconfig'd that to a reverse light and put an OP light (or a guage) somewhere else just for man-trans cars. Whatever they did for 3-on-tree cars would've been done on 4-speeds, too.

 

[68PK21 440.6bbl]

I imagine it may be a NTSB safety mandated item in 1968 as with the extra padded dash and rubber window crank knobs. I have yet to see the little under dash reverse light on a manuals trans in a 1967 Fury.

 

[68PK21 440.6bbl]

Sheeech while I was wating for this page to load for the previous post, this image flashed on my screen that I missed before. This dealer should be embarrassed!

Door nastiness.

 

[hergfest]

The reverse light was for Hurst shifter equipped cars. The inland unit had a reverse lockout so you couldn't accidentally put the car in reverse without knowing so the light wasn't needed. C-Bodies went to the Hurst shifter later than the B and A bodies did, probably to use up the inventory of the Inland shifters. So the reverse light is pretty rare on a 4-spd C-Body.

 

[fury fan]

Therefore, we shouldn't see any C-body except a 69 3-on-tree car with this light?
Or did some 68 Cs get the Hurst?
65 - Hurst
66-68? - Inland
69-up - no 4-speeds, 3-on-tree only

Does this smell of desperation?
