She looks very original and clean. Small block is a minus for me but the rest are all pluses.
 
My older brother had a Fury III exactly like this except for the road wheels. Same colors, options, engine, etc. Brings back a lot of memories.
 
What? Did they pull that thing out of a jar? Very nice shape and rare to see one in that condition. The 360 is no problem for me, got one in my '78 NYB runs great and guess what? No lean burn!
 
I've often wondered what it would be like to have one like this with a 5.9 in it. 50-75 more hp, better mpg.
This one looks fabulous and a great candidate for such an upgrade.
Price is reasonable, too.
 
Remember this ad? At the time only little buying interest was expressed, so I think no one will be offended to learn that the car is now in Italy. It have been almost three and a half months since I wired the money to a very pleasant and helpful private seller, and on its journey it was put through two major storms, the remnants of hurricane Florence and the storm that flooded Venice earlier this week, about 40 miles from where I live.

We already talked a bit about this car in the thread C body made in Canada?: bought new in Mount Airy, NC, in 1974 and imported in Canada ten years later. From then on it lived in southern Ontario, changing hands three more times.

When I first saw the ad, back in June, I had to admit to myself that this was my kind of Fury: a plain jane four-door family sedan clad in acres of unabashed sheet metal, decently accentuated by a vinyl roof and those gorgeous road wheels. Without a vinyl roof the C pillar often strikes me as a tad too massive. No such distracting toy things like a hood ornament plus baby wind splitter or that hideous applique on the fuel filler door. I had been eyeing formal C bodies for about a year, weighing up their design dos and don'ts. So now you know my tastes.

During my wait, 104 long days and nights, I found out that this very car has been featured in Collectible Automobile (Vol. 28, Nr. 6, April 2012, pp. 44-53). There it doesn't have the road wheels and the vinyl roof seems parchment to me, but then-owner Clare Fraser is mentioned in the Canadian documentation to this car. It is also the car shown on the Wikipedia Plymouth Fury page, section 1974. If you'd rather like a video, here you are. It's all the same car: the non-standard striping and the dent in the bumper under the driver-side headlights give it away. This documentation history makes the car even more special to me, it is a "Very Important Plymouth".

In fact, it probably started out as a rental car and has had a string of owners, thus flying squarely in the face of the one-owner principle. Not counting close relatives and dealers in the list I am the fifth owner. But all owners really cared for the car and that makes the difference.

After a brief inspection I only found one little suspect spot where the Dutchman panel meets the rear window, otherwise no rust in sight. Ah, yes: the door handles are heavily pitted. Any suggestions?

To-do list:
- perform a general check-up;
- obtain license plates;
- put it on the road and get used to its outside dimensions.
The license plate thing may take a while, so I am told.

For the record, my wife loves it, the kids less so:
- "Why can't you just go and buy a NEW car?".
- "Son, that's a long story..."
At that point they stop listening.
 
A great looking car, but your color combo shows one of the other 1974 brown colors. Or at least, that appear brownish on a computer screen. The choice is between:

L8 Dark Moonstone, greyish brown
T5 Sienna, reddish brown
T9 Dark Chestnut, dark brown
Y6 Golden Haze, golden brown
Y9 Tahitian Gold, dark golden brown

The ex-Canadian-now-Italian car has L8, yours looks like T9 or Y9 to me.

If owners of brownish cars would upload a pic, we could compare the shades right here.

This is a survivor!
 
Was it your first car?

pretty much yes....this car was given to me by my grandmother. I got it in the summer of '89 and drove it during high school and my first year of college. It only had 54K miles on it but being from upstate New York it had rust issues.
Ended up selling it to get something more economical but looking back I really liked that car. My next one will be a '74.

I wish my grandparents were that nice persons.
 
Waiting in the workshop for its license plates, the car is already attracting some buying interest.

Guess what? My wife doesn't want to sell.
