For Sale 1969 Plymouth Fury I $800 or BO

[1969vert500]

Please do as I am VERY interested in any info I can get. Anyone got a pic of an OSP car?

This car is definitely a Plymouth Police Pursuit. With standard police specifications.

I can list all the standard specifications, and all the optional equipment for a "police special", Patroller, Pursuit, and Emergency Wagon if anyone is interested.

Non A/C is somewhat rare.

White car,.....likely OSP. Very rare today.

Alan this is incorrect, and it's understandable as you are used to dealing with C.H.P. "package" Polaras.

There was no "police package" until I believe 1970, the "package" would be stamped on the "fender tag" and not the VIN in 1970.

Before 1970 police fleet vehicles, specifically named by Chrysler in the option book and the police brochure as, POLICE SPECIALS, they could be ordered with a variety of police options.

The Plymouth models were: Patroller, Pursuit, and the Emergency Wagon. PK is the VIN designation for police fleet, which means the car has all standard "police options".

The standard alternator on a PK "Police Special" fleet vehicle; Patroller, Pursuit or Emergency Wagon was a 46 ampere Heavy-Duty Chrysler Alternator, with standard regulator. You need the Broadcast Sheet to know 100% what your car was equipped with. Unless it was an agency/State special order fleet package A.K.A "C.H.P. Specification".

Optional was the 60 ampere Chrysler alternator and a 65 ampere Leece-Neville with Transistorized Regulators and Silicon Rectifiers. These are optional equipment,.... and not part of a "package".

This car is definitely a Plymouth Police Pursuit. With standard police specifications.

I understand the CHP package was unique, I was simply referring to the PK VIN reference, at the time of that post we had not seen the VIN.

There may not have been a Package (with an option code) but the K VIN came with a standard set of options, I barely know what that is for the 69 Dodge. Five years into this and I am still learning.

As for this car I saw a standard alternator and regulator in a 318 car.


If 1969vert500 has any second thoughts about this car I'd be seriously interested (even being a Fury).

Fair enough Sir, and I agree 100%; 30 years into this and we are still learning,....let's learn together.......that's the point of the hobby right???????????

I was just elucidating the point you made, which was,.... if a car has a PK sequence in the VIN or DK etc., it designates it as "police package" which mandates a 65 Ampere Leece-Neville alternator and transistor regulator which is not the case; it's was an option.

The 46 Amp,. alternator may look "standard", but it was "the standard" on a PK police fleet vehicle. Everything else in 1969 was optional/special ordered, and cost extra. Not part of a "package".

I'll list "Police Special" options, later,...it will take a bit to type them up.

 

[Fury Pursuit]

...give me a minute,...I'll post them or email them to you later,.....

 

[abloch]

Quick search turned up a '68 and a '71.

Please post them here so we all can learn.

 

[1969vert500]

I am hoping very much the broadcast sheet is still in it when it gets here. I will post that if it is. I am very familiar with sheets but NOT with the ones for police fleet cars. Would it say on the bottom of the sheet who it was ordered for since it was an ordered fleet car?

P.S. Alan not sure if I will get second thoughts on it as I mostly wanted the rims but the more I learn on the car the more I like it!! (but I will keep you in mind if I do, bad part is the car will be 1600 miles farther east by then)

Hmm, 1600 miles closer to me....

Yes please, I would be very interested, it would help with the 440 police pursuit coupe I have here.

Also interesting is the D36 transmission which is a 727 for a small block. Don't know if I've seen that on a 318 car.
All Oregon State Police units I have seen have been big blocks. This includes a 68 Fury I two door post.

 

[1969vert500]

It just seems odd to me that any police car would have been a 318 2 barrel car and not a BB?

My 69 Monaco has a 318 with a 727, but coded D32.

Quite a few police departments ordered cars with the smaller engines(even some six cylinders!). Small municipalities didn't have same needs that the State Troopers did and they were able to save initial and fuel costs with smaller engines. Did Barney Fife really need a 440 Magnum? ;)

 

[68plymouth383]

NO!! He was dangerous enough with what oppies dad gave him...

He was a victim of a Senior citizen flipper. ;)

I remember growing up in Boston, the BPD cars, County Sheriffs, the MDC police, etc, etc, etc, were always sixes.
I don't understand the shock people are having that a police pkg. could actually have a 318.

 

[cm23uoc]

They would have killed for a 318 or even a slant 6. ;)

 

[commando1]

Is that guy really on the phone!?!?

 

[cm23uoc]

There's an Aerial on the back. So yes.

No it's not. That's there so they can find it in the parking lot...
