383 4-Speed: 1965 Plymouth Fury convertible

Appearing to be fairly solid and sporting a factory 383 V8 with a 4-speed, this Plymouth Fury could certainly be a fun machine upon its revival. Despite the minor bird dropping and dust from pole barn storage, this Fury does look promising, and is offered for $3,500 or best offer. Take a look...

A 1966 Plymouth for sale @ facebook:

1966 Plymouth Sport Fury · Coupe · Driven 115,000 miles
Factory 383 4 speed car with an older restoration. Mainly looking to trade for a clean 7.3 Excursion or Crew Cab truck. PM me for details if you’re interested and think you have what I’m looking for.

 

[xxcarguy]

Maybe. But I think it is a 3-speed...

I didn’t know MoPar put 4 or 3 speeds in a small block C body.

I’ve seen a factory 318 4 speed 70 challenger before.
Also 383 2blb 68 satellite with factory tach and 4 speed.
I will get pics of fender tag next time I get over there.

AC.

Just for fun - another "ghost option" would be a manual trans and Autopilot car. There was a 66 300 4 spd car where the owner installed an Autopilot system, but it was never offered by the factory. It was in one of the magazines about 15 years ago.

Actually a 4 speed in a Chrysler is a ghost option too. It is not catalogued nor does it show up in the FSM or parts book. Did any get built? Maybe Canada only?

OK whew lotta reading & geezing here, here's one I spotted quite awhile back and I don't think I posted up a 'Not Mine' AD because the CL AD disappeared rather quickly. I went even as far a geolocating this one in Google Earth.

AD from 2017:

Sounds fair: 0NE OWNER 1965 Plymouth - cars & trucks - by owner - vehicle...

There are Chrysler 300L four speeds.

318 three speeds in a C body are not common but they do exist. For 68, they code 41 for the 318 and 1 for the transmission

The 4 speed option becomes a ghost for 66 Chryslers. Still on the option sheets for 65 IIRC.

 

[hergfest]

That's incorrect. You would still order a four speed in a Chrysler until the middle of the 1967 model year.

 

[commando1]

One of these days I'm going to find a '68 Chrysler 4 speed and blow everyone's minds.

 

[Ross Wooldridge]

Maybe I have my info wrong - I'm always up for being corrected!

Was it only the 300 that stopped offering the 4 speed in 66? Why is that sticking in my mind??

This configuration is likely very common in Canada.
In 65 and maybe 66 the american Polara was available with the 318 for fleet sales.

It doesn’t surprise me that you could get a 4 speeds those years. The mechanials were identical to Plymouth and dodge. But it was not officially listed in 66.
Has anyone ever laid eyes on a factory 66 4 speed Chrysler?
