For sale, one 1969 Plymouth Fury III 2 Door Hardtop with 383 4BBl & dual exhaust
I purchased this car a few years back as a neat old classic that I could drive during the summer months. I have paperwork indicating that the engine was rebuilt at about 102,000 miles & the car currently has about 120,000 miles on it and runs and drives well and uses no oil. I bought the car after it was stored for several years and replaced several items to make the car more reliable such as belts/hoses, plugs/wires, brakes, and new ball joints on the passenger side and changed the fluids. The car also has new tires that have about 1500mi on them. I currently drive this car a few times a week and have not had any problems and consider the car to be reliable.
The car is 45 years old and has some flaws, the car has had some body work and paint. Both rear quarters have been replaced and there are patch panels in the trunk pan. The passenger side rear fender appears to have had some damage that was repaired and still has a wrinkle to it and the body line does not quite match(See Pics). There is some rust/peeling paint along some of the trunk lip & the underside of the hood. The car appears to have a base/clear repaint, the color coat is nice and pretty level metallic with a small run on the trunk lid, however the clear coat has some orange peel to it & could use some 2000 grit and a buff if you are looking to make this car a little finer. There is also a area where the clear coat ran on the driver's side rear fender.The floor pans are solid and the underbody was undercoated prior to me buying the car.
The interior of the car is fair, there are some tears in the driver's seat that have been patched with blue tape, the dash has cracks typical of an original car of this vintage and the headliner is intact but has a couple very minor tears. Everything works except the A/C and the gas gauge has a lazy needle that up until recently would only move to about 1/2 tank when full, however would show you when the tank was nearing empty(upon moving the car out of storage this spring, the needle was stuck on E, not sure if it will bounce back up again when driven). There are some minor fitment issues with some of the window trim that could be easily corrected. The transmission pan drips when parked a while and could use a pan gasket.
All in all this is a decent old car that could use an owner that is willing to put some time into it to polish it up a bit. The car sounds nice, and has wheels from a late 60's road runner along with some factory installed chrome extras that give the car a different look from the other Furys out there. The car has a clear title and lots of paperwork and receipts dating back to the original owner's manual and bill of sale.
Personally I think this car is a good value for someone into the old C body mopars, it has its quirks as I have described but it is a 45 year old car that you can get in and drive home. The car is however 45 years old and I am one of 3 owners that have owned it so the cars is being sold as-is. Feel Free to ask questions or request more information, Good Luck and Happy Bidding!
