For Sale Its not mine its the popo 69 fury

[Davea Lux]

I don't know that its really that over priced.
Its two titled cars. If the cop car is 2/3 of the value at any price that's 5k. For a running driving car.
Considering the compounding levels of mopar geekdom. Mopar>C body> police car.
Which isa full level beyond my status. I'd rather have the parts car.
If you can buy a project car and turn the key and drive home what would it be worth reasonably?
What's the split? A grand? More? Less?

It will be worth what ever someone will pay for it. Light bar is junk as it is not the correct type. Not many PK21s were produced in '69 as most agencies went to 4Dr sedans by then. The fact that this is a 2Dr is about the only thing this car currently has going for it. Seller admits that the floors are rusty and that this car has an incorrect '76 engine. Rear window channel is toast and given the condition of the trunk floor, rear frame rails likely bad also. Yes all that can be fixed. Who ever takes that on is going to have a significant money pit experience. Probably looking at something in the neighborhood of $40k-$45k to get it roadworthy and presentable. When it is all done it is probably a $12.5-$15k car. Money ahead to find a nice for sale cruiser and buy that rather than trying to bring back a hulk.

I could never drive a cop car, not enough disinfectant to get rid of the stench.

Pretty sure this is an Oregon State Police car. They ran 383s in 68 and 69. 69 was also the last year of running a two door post. His price is high for the condition.

late to party. cool rigs.

if NOT a DYI job (as it would also NOT be for me -- meaning gotta I pay guys for the work) I'd budget $25K (acqusition cost for both, transport, make roadworthy to a standard i want, etc.) for a "hgh grade driver" quality job. Need a better starting point, and roughly same money to make it "show-worthy" (not "concours", but equivalent or a bit better fit/finish/performance when it was in service).

To me, to make a cop car "better than new" is not beyond my means but defies economic reason a bit for me as well as my goals for these cars.

NOT dissin' anybody who goes all out on a cop rig .. i am proud and a tad envious of you.

I just want them standing TALL, like when they served .. but not better than they EVER were from the factory (engines aside .. when we rebuild engines, we do dial 'em up considerably because inexpensisve (electrical, flow, cooling, etc,) aftermarket technology exists to do that.

Though I do have a '69 383 HP in the warehouse, I am not a buyer of these cars because my budget (yeah, its the bus thing) doesn't let me do ONE of them justice.

NOT dissin' THESE cars -- i see their condition but I wanna emphasize that too.

More than that, unless there's more info not yet disclosed, pedigree (as best it can be known .. when in service ,where, when retired, officer(s) who drove it, ownership history after retirement, etc.) is important to me as well. I aint just saving' the car . .as best i can I wanna save its history as well.

Wish seller good luck. Current price might be hard to realize, but hope somebody relatively local, who could take a grand or so outta the transport and has DIY capablitly to trim the out-of-pocket labor investment, takes on the "saving" part

It is the right color for a '69 OSP cruiser, EW1, alpine white. Oregon started transitioning from Oregon Blue to white in '68- '69 as a way to improve the resale value of the cars. The OSP cruisers also had the tan interiors as did many others. OSP cruisers were bare bones cruisers with no options outside of the police package, no A/C, tinted glass, AM radios etc. All OSP cruisers had the heavy rubber floor mats which are still in place on this vehicle. The rubber mats held moisture underneath and that usually rotted the floors if the vehicle was left sitting out for any length of time. A lot of the counties also ran the white cruisers in Oregon with the doors painted agency colors, or sometimes it was the other way around with the car painted agency colors and the doors painted white. Without any history on the car, there is no real way to tell what agency ran it. OSP repainted all of their white cruisers at the state prison prior to sale to remove the police markings and the antenna hole on the rear deck was filled with bondo at this time. Repaints were Earl quality and usually started peeling with a few months after the sale. I do not think it probably matters all that much, unless some interesting history can be found for this particular cruiser, it is just another very tired car. The 2Dr post cars (flat tops) were usually traffic enforcement units and some did not have a light bar on the roof, those had a pop up red light mounted to the dash panel. Some also had the traditional two light and loud speaker roof mounted bar or a 3 light system as in the example attached. All lights were red as the transition to blue did not happen until the mid '70's. Most of the '67-'68 OSP cruisers were still fords with the transition to plymouths starting during mid-'68.

No comment...

Okay, who am I kidding, I've owned more 69 Fury's then anyone here probably.

They are both easy projects for anyone with the balls and skills, even if you have to source some sheet metal...

Its 2020.....their 51 year old cars.... People need to get out of this 1987 mindset of these being $300 engine donors if we're ever going to be taken seriously by the A/B/E snobs...

Nick

But, my opinion is only that... And I restore junk cars.

 

[1970cat]

it may not be that bad. the quarters look good , it rusted from the top down. probably not worth more than $5K for the pair.

 

[furyusvip]

$1000 (or less) for the blue 2dr PH23 car seems like an okay deal. The 69 Fury is my least favorite body style of the 68-72 Plymouth Furys...

If your the guy digging them out of the old folks carport you mag get it for that. Other than that its been a while out here since they were that cheap.

 

[furyusvip]

As a person who has purchased two running and driving 70-71 Plymouth Furys in the past three -4 years, I can tell you that deals are still out there. My wagon cost me $2200 and my Sport Fury (since sold) cost me less than $4000. Both cars were running and driving. In fact, I drove the wagon 600 miles the very first day I owned it.
So...I respectfully disagree with you.

Not sure what we are disagreeing on, but out here, like I said, they go for more. Also those cars are not comparable, your fury at 4 times the cost is also 4 times the car and I'm guessing you didn't sell it for $2500.
If I am wrong please pm me when you sell the next one.
I try to keep my eye out for cars. Its no coincidence that I own 7 cars. In the past couple of years there has been a few fuselage c body two doors that ran for 2500 but they were way rusty and all that I can remember were Newports.
I did get my 300 for under a grand but its been almost 10 years and I got lucky responding to an add with no pic and left immediatly. It had not ran in over ten years but I had it running in an hour.
It was a scrapper and he found it in a rural carport.
I picked up a 73 Fury two years ago for 600 he wanted 800. I won't post a pic and make people puke. But its gross. Last ran in 99.
Lastly, I mean no disrespect. But if that blue car was a grand it would be at my house.

I sold my 71 sport fury for $4800 to a kid whose eyes lit up when he looked at it.
