WANTED Looking to buy a 71-74 Fury

[Analog Kid]

So a few months ago I was reminiscing about what it was like to sit behind the wheel of the 1974 Plymouth Fury III that I had in high school and it suddenly hit me - why can't I get another one? I mean, I have money these days (unlike in high school) and I think it would be a real cool experience to be able to take my kids to their baseball games in a car from the 70's.

So.....what I am looking for is a Fury 2 door coupe from 1971 to 1974. My preference actually starts at the 74 and then goes down to the 71. I am not looking for anything in mint condition but it does need to be drivable. I don't have the skills or facilities to deal with a project car. My budget tops out at $5K and as far as location - I would probably want to stay east of the Mississippi, especially if I had to get something shipped back to Virginia. However I would be willing to consider any possibility.

I am regularly looking at Craigslist so I am pretty familiar with what is out there however I feel that if I posted my request here I will have better luck in finding something. Any assistance with my search is appreciated.

You understand that the 69-73 Furys and the 74+ Furys are completely different cars, right?

 

[Analog Kid]

Yeah....I know. I want a 74 because that is what I used to have. However....I like the body style of the earlier ones better so I would be happy with either.

I believe that one in New Jersey sold over two years ago. I was able to dig this up online.

I'm curious though - how come it didn't have the Plymouth lettering across the front? Was that only an option for certain models?

BTW, you may want expand your search. The 75 Gran Fury Custom is almost identical to the 74, the only real difference was an emblem in the center of the grill. The 75 Gran Fury Brougham, 76 and 77 Gran Furys were also very close with a slightly different grill but you may not be as interested in these because as you said, you're really only interested in the 74 because you had one but if you're interested in the 74, I think you'd be interested in the 75 Gran Fury Custom.

The 74's didn't have the cooling vents in the front bumper. They had radiator cooling problems so Chrysler put 2 cooling vents in all of the Formal 75-78 front bumpers.

The 75 Chrysler and Imperial also got redesigned/ enlarged grilles along with the bumper venting to increase airflow. It worked. My 77 T&C runs cooler in traffic than my 74 Imperials did.

I believe you're confusing the 1975 Gran Fury Brougham with the 1975 Gran Fury Custom. Confusing I know, but the Custom was a complete carry over of the 1974 with an additional horizontal bar and an emblem in the grill. The Gran Fury Brougham was the redesign to reduce to one headlight on each side, move the turn signals up beside the headlights, larger grill, and larger bumper openings for air flow.

Another Missouri car, so so many cars coming out of Missouri. Until I bought mine two years ago and actually visited there I thought maybe nine people lived there. The place is crowded like an east coast state

Sorry for the late reply here - for some reason I thought I got emailed when this thread was replied to. Guess not.

I might be interested - can you post some more pics? You are close enough for me to come see it without spending a fortune.

I am also broadening my search to include Newports and Polaras. Since I have been on this site I have started to like those as well.

Thanks for reaching out. Oh well....figures that a good lead would come through now. Unfortunately I just bought a '72 two weeks ago so I am out of the market for another car - at least for now. It would be interesting to see - not too many of those around anymore but I can't get too greedy. My family would freak if I brought another one home so soon.
